Device Description

Vascular Access Kit - containing dilators, guide wire, scalpel, introducer needle, and syringe.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) submission for the Avalon Elite Vascular Access Kit. This is a medical device, and the information presented primarily focuses on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on validation testing. It does not describe an AI/ML-based device, a comparative effectiveness study with human readers, or an algorithm-only standalone performance study. Therefore, several sections of your request are not applicable.

Here's an analysis of the provided text based on your request, focusing on what is available:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly list "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative manner (e.g., "device must achieve X% accuracy"). Instead, it lists validation tests conducted to demonstrate safety and effectiveness compared to a predicate device. The "reported device performance" is a general conclusion that the device "is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device" based on these tests.

Validation TestReported Device Performance
BiocompatibilityConcluded to be safe and effective (implicitly met predicate's standards)
Packaging IntegrityConcluded to be safe and effective (implicitly met predicate's standards)
Transportation IntegrityConcluded to be safe and effective (implicitly met predicate's standards)
Sterilization ValidationConcluded to be safe and effective (implicitly met predicate's standards)
Functional TestingConcluded to be safe and effective (implicitly met predicate's standards)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not specify sample sizes for any of the validation tests. It also does not provide information on data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). This type of detail is typically found in the full study reports, not the 510(k) summary.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualitications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable as the device is not an AI/ML-based diagnostic device that relies on expert interpretation for ground truth establishment. The validation tests are largely laboratory-based and engineering assessments.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. There's no mention of an adjudication process, as the validation tests are not based on subjective interpretation requiring expert consensus.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. The device is a physical vascular access kit, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool, so an MRMC study is not relevant.

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

Not applicable. The device is a physical medical kit and does not involve an algorithm with standalone performance.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

For the validation tests conducted (Biocompatibility, Packaging Integrity, Transportation Integrity, Sterilization Validation, Functional Testing), the "ground truth" would be established through defined scientific and engineering standards and methods relevant to each test. For example:

  • Biocompatibility: In vitro and/or in vivo tests according to ISO standards (e.g., ISO 10993 series). Ground truth is meeting predefined toxicity/irritation thresholds.
  • Packaging/Transportation Integrity: Physical tests to ensure sterility barrier and product integrity are maintained under simulated conditions. Ground truth is successful completion of tests without integrity compromise.
  • Sterilization Validation: Microbiological testing and adherence to validated sterilization cycles (e.g., ISO 11135 or 11137). Ground truth is achieving a specified sterility assurance level (SAL).
  • Functional Testing: Bench testing to evaluate component strength, fit, ease of use, etc. Ground truth is meeting specified performance parameters.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. The device is not an AI/ML-based device that requires a training set.

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

Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML model, the establishment of ground truth for such a set is irrelevant.

Dear Mr. Wirth:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencics. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality
