Device Description

The Pegasus 10 steerable guidewires have a nominal diameter of 0.014" and nominal lengths of 185 cm and 300cm. The wire is configured with a radiopaque distal tip and an embedded magnet used with a navigation system to navigate the wire through vasculature. The wire employs a stainless steel proximal core shaft joined to a nitinol distal ground core portion. The distal tip can either be straight or angled. A hydrophilic coating covers the distal portion of the wire and a PTFE coating covers the proximal end of the wire. The guidewires will be packaged in the standard Lake Region single pack packaging configuration (one wire in a dispenser, placed in a pouch, labeled and then placed in individual cartons). There will be no changes to the sterilization process for these guidewires.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting study for the Pegasus™ Guidewire.

Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification Summary for a medical device (guidewire). Such summaries primarily focus on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device, rather than presenting a detailed clinical study proving strict acceptance criteria for a novel device. Therefore, the information you're requesting, particularly details on sample sizes, expert qualifications, and specific AI-related metrics, is largely not present in this type of document because it's not typically required for a 510(k) for a guidewire.

This document describes a non-clinical, benchtop comparison to a predicate device.


Acceptance Criteria and Study to Prove Device Performance:

Due to the nature of a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a guidewire, the "acceptance criteria" are primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical testing. The "study" referenced is a series of non-clinical, benchtop qualification tests.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document does not provide a formal table of specific, quantitative acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics like a clinical trial report would. Instead, it states the following:

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
Equivalence to Predicate DeviceFunctionality and performance characteristics are comparable to currently marketed devices (predicate: Titan™).
Visual/Tactile AttributesMet established specific inspection criteria.
Dimensional AttributesMet established specific inspection criteria.
Mechanical AttributesMet established specific inspection criteria.
BiocompatibilityFound to be acceptable per ISO 10993 series.
Risk Analysis (FMEA)All verification and validation activities resulted in meeting predetermined acceptance criteria.
Quality Systems (for manufacturing changes)Product remains equivalent to predicate products; changes will not have an adverse effect on safe and effective use.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size: Not specified quantitatively. The document states "Test pieces were tested," implying a defined number, but the exact count is not provided.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was "Non-Clinical Tests" performed by LRM (Lake Region Manufacturing, Inc.) and Stereotaxis. This indicates laboratory/benchtop testing, not human subject data. The country of origin for the data is implicitly the USA, where Lake Region is located. The study is not retrospective or prospective in the clinical sense, as it's non-clinical bench testing.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Their Qualifications:

  • Not Applicable: This type of non-clinical testing for a guidewire does not involve "experts" establishing a "ground truth" in the clinical diagnostic sense. The comparison is against established engineering specifications and the performance of a predicate device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Not Applicable: Adjudication methods (like 2+1 or 3+1) are used for resolving discrepancies in expert interpretations of clinical data (e.g., radiology images). This guidewire testing involves objective measurements and comparisons against engineering specifications and predicate device performance, not subjective human interpretation requiring adjudication.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

  • No: A MRMC study is not mentioned because this is a non-clinical submission for a guidewire. Such studies are typically conducted for diagnostic imaging devices or AI-powered clinical decision support tools where human readers are interpreting medical cases.
  • Effect Size of Human Readers with/without AI Assistance: Not applicable, as no AI component for human assistance is described in this device or associated testing.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study:

  • Yes, in the context of non-clinical performance: The device itself (guidewire) is being tested for its standalone physical and mechanical performance characteristics (e.g., steerability, tip strength, lubricity, biocompatibility) without a human-in-the-loop performance metric being specifically detailed, beyond proving equivalence to the predicate. There is no "algorithm" in the AI sense for a guidewire.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Engineering Specifications and Predicate Device Performance: The "ground truth" for this submission are the established engineering design specifications for the device, and the known, acceptable performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device (Titan™ guidewire). Biocompatibility has its own 'ground truth' in the form of ISO 10993 standards.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • Not Applicable: This device is a physical guidewire and does not involve AI algorithms that require a "training set" of data.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

  • Not Applicable: As there is no AI training set, this question is not relevant.

Applicability of Performance Standards:

LRM has determined that no mandatory performance standards have been established for these devices under Section 514 of the Medical Amendments to Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or by any subsequent regulatory action. ILRM has also determined that there are no applicable voluntary standards.

Device Description:

The Pegasus 10 steerable guidewires have a nominal diameter of 0.014" and nominal lengths of 185 cm and 300cm. The wire is configured with a radiopaque distal tip and an embedded magnet used with a navigation system to navigate the wire through vasculature. The wire employs a stainless steel proximal core shaft joined to a nitinol distal ground core portion. The distal tip can either be straight or angled. A hydrophilic coating covers the distal portion of the wire and a PTFE coating covers the proximal end of the wire.

The guidewires will be packaged in the standard Lake Region single pack packaging configuration (one wire in a dispenser, placed in a pouch, labeled and then placed in individual cartons). There will be no changes to the sterilization process for these guidewires.

Technological Characteristics:

The design specifications are substantially similar for the Peqasus™ iterations as they are for the Titan " predicate device with the exception of the blended core material that is joined with a hypotube.

Quality System Controls:

Design Control:

LRM is in conformance with the design control procedure requirements as specified in 21 CFR 820.30. Risk analysis was completed by means of a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and all verification and validation activities resulted in the ability to demonstrate that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met.

Material/Supplier/Product/Process Controls:

LRM has formal quality systems in place to assure that each product manufactured remains equivalent to the predicate products, and that the changes will not have an adverse affect on the safe and effective use of the product. The quality systems include Engineering Change Order Review, Material Qualification, Supplier Qualification, Product Qualification, and Process Qualification. These controls are applied to each product size/group.

Substantial Equivalence Data:

Lake Region believes the Pegasus™ iterations are substantially equivalent to the Titan™ predicate devices cleared under 510(k) K060454. Performance specification changes to the Pegasus™ iterations are directly related to the blended material core design. All non-clinical test results support the claim of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

Intended Use Statement:

Pegasus™ steerable guidewires are intended for use in angiographic procedures to introduce and position catheters and interventional devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature.
