Intended Use

The Rinspirator is intended to infuse physician specified fluid and remove/aspirate fluid, fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from the coronary and peripheral vasculature.

Device Description

The Rinspirator consists of a catheter and a hand-held unit with accessories. The Rinspirator Catheter is a multi-lumen, rail configuration catheter to dispense an infusible fluid. The central lumen of the catheter is used for aspiration. The Rinspirator is provided sterile for single-use. The system is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135), including limits for Ethylene Oxide residuals and validated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 106. The device is biocompatible per ISO-10993-1.

AI/ML Overview

The provided documents describe the "Rinspirator" device, an embolectomy catheter, and its 510(k) summary for substantial equivalence. However, the documents do not contain information regarding detailed acceptance criteria, a specific study proving the device meets those criteria, or performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or effect sizes for AI assistance.

The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (The Rinspiration Catheter System K062275), primarily noting a change in the lubricious coating on the catheter shaft. It states that "The subject device was shown to have substantially equivalent performance when compared to the predicate device." This implies that the device likely met performance criteria comparable to the predicate, but the specific metrics are not detailed in these documents.

Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be filled from the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is missing:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance:

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Not specified in the provided document. The document only states that "The subject device was shown to have substantially equivalent performance when compared to the predicate device."Not specified in the provided document. No specific performance metrics (e.g., success rate of emboli removal, aspiration flow rates, etc.) or targets are provided.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample size: Not specified.
  • Data provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The 510(k) summary mentions "Special 510(k) safety and effectiveness" but doesn't detail any specific clinical study data beyond claiming substantial equivalence.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not applicable/Not specified, as no specific test set or ground truth establishment process is described for device performance evaluation in these documents.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable/Not specified.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size:

  • No. The device is an embolectomy catheter, not an AI or imaging diagnostic device that would typically involve an MRMC study with human readers and AI assistance.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • No. This is a physical medical device (catheter), not an algorithm or AI.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • Not applicable/Not specified for performance evaluation data in these documents. The comparison is primarily based on the functional equivalence due to a coating change to a predicate device already on the market.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable/Not specified. This is a physical medical device, not an AI model requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable/Not specified.

Summary from the documents:

The documents confirm the regulatory clearance of "The Rinspirator" embolectomy catheter. The basis for clearance was a 510(k) submission demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device (The Rinspiration Catheter System K062275). The only significant change noted was the type of lubricious coating on the catheter shaft (from silicone-based to hydrophilic). The 510(k) summary explicitly states: "With the exception of the coating, The Rinspirator is substantially equivalent in materials of construction, design, intended use, and safety and efficacy to the predicate device. The subject device was shown to have substantially equivalent performance when compared to the predicate device." This implies that testing (likely non-clinical, such as bench testing for lubricity, biocompatibility, and functionality) was conducted to ensure the coating change did not negatively impact performance, but the specific details of these tests, acceptance criteria, and quantitative results are not provided in the publicly available 510(k) summary.

Dear Melissa Murphy:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is sending this letter to notify you of an administrative change related to your previous substantial equivalence (SE) determination letter dated November 9, 2007. Specifically, FDA is updating this SE Letter because FDA has created a new product code to better categorize your device technology.

Please note that the 510(k) submission was not re-reviewed. For questions regarding this letter please contact Gregory O'Connell, OHT2: Office of Cardiovascular Devices, (301) 796-6075. Gregory. Oconnell(@FDA.HHS.gov.

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Murphy:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA), You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

510(K) SUMMARY

Device NameThe Rinspirator®
Classification Name:Embolectomy Catheter21 CFR §870.5150, Class IINOV 09 2007
Product Code:DXE
Common and Usual Name:Embolectomy Catheter
Proprietary Name:The Rinspirator®

Predicate Device

The Rinspiration Catheter System (K062275), currently marketed by FoxHollow Technologies, Inc. (Redwood City, CA).

Summary

This summary of Special 510(k) safety and effectiveness is being submitted in accordance with requirements of SMDA 1990.

The Rinspirator is intended to infuse physician specified fluid and remove/aspirate fluid, fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from the coronary peripheral vasculature. The Rinspirator consists of a catheter and a hand-held unit with accessories. The Rinspirator Catheter is a multi-lumen, rail configuration catheter to dispense an infusible fluid. The central lumen of the catheter is used for aspiration. The Rinspirator is provided sterile for single-use. The system is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135), including limits for Ethylene Oxide residuals and validated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 106. The device is biocompatible per ISO-10993-1.

The only difference between the cleared Rinspiration Catheter System and The Rinspirator is the lubricious coating on the external surface of the catheter shaft. The previously cleared device is coated using a silicone based material, which is being replaced with a hydrophilic coating, consisting of a primer and topcoat in an ethanol solvent base, and is cured using UV light.

With the exception of the coating, The Rinspirator is substantially equivalent in materials of construction, design, intended use, and safety and efficacy to the predicate device. The subject device was shown to have substantially equivalent performance when compared to the predicate device. The Rinspirator with coating modifications is considered substantially equivalent to the Rinspiration Catheter System (K062275).
