The Asahi Corsair Microcatheter is intended to provide support to facilitate the placement of Guide wires in the coronary and peripheral vasculatures and can be used to exchange one guide wire for another. The Corsair Microcatheter is also intended to assist in the delivery of contrast media into the coronary, peripheral and abdominal vasculatures.
The ASAHI Corsair Microcatheter consists of distal tip and a shaft tube that are inserted into a vascular connector for catheter control and infusion of contrast media. The Corsair has a radiopaque marker coil is imbedded into the inner layer of resin to facilitate the tip location during angiographic procedures. In addition, the device is coated with sodium hyaluronate on the outer surface of shaft tube to provide a smooth transition in blood vessel. The Distal tip of the Corsair has a tapered shape and is designed to have increased flexiblility towards distal side. PTFE is applied to the inner lumen of Catheter for the purpose of smooth transition and exchange of guidewire. The Microcatheter also reinforcement wires that are knitted between hypoblast and intercellular layer to reinforce the distal tip and shaft tube to allow the physician greater control of the device during interventional procedures.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study details for the Asahi Corsair Microcatheter, focusing on the requested categories:
This submission is a 510(k) Pre-Market Notification, which is a regulatory pathway for medical devices seeking to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a previously legally marketed device (predicate device). In this context, the "acceptance criteria" are not performance metrics of an AI algorithm, but rather the regulatory requirements for showing that the new device is as safe and effective as existing ones.
The provided text describes a traditional medical device (microcatheter), not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, many of the requested categories (e.g., AI assistance, standalone algorithm performance, training set details) are not applicable to this document.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Acceptance Criteria (for Substantial Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Similar Indications for Use: The new device must have the same or similar intended use as the predicate device(s). | "The Asahi Corsair Microcatheter is intended to provide support to facilitate the placement of Guide wires in the coronary and peripheral vasculatures and can be used to exchange one guide wire for another. The Corsair Microcatheter is also intended to assist in the delivery of contrast media into the coronary, peripheral and abdominal vasculatures." (Stated as equivalent to predicate devices) |
| Similar Technical Characteristics: The new device must be made of the same materials and have equivalent physical specifications to predicate devices. | "The Asahi Corsair Microcatheter is made of the same materials that have been used in other predicate devices that are labeled for the similar indications. The dimensional specifications are equivalent to those listed for the currently cleared predicate devices." |
| Biocompatibility: Materials coming into contact with the patient must be proven biocompatible. | "All components that come in direct contact with the patient have a long history of use in medical devices and are proven to be biocompatible for use in the vasculature. Furthermore, this submission contains biocompatibility testing conducted on the subject device." |
| Mechanical and Functional Performance: The device must perform as intended through bench testing. | "This 510(k) notice also includes mechanical and functional bench testing that demonstrates that the ASAHI Corsair Microcatheter performs as intended." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not Applicable. This document describes a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML system evaluated on a "test set" of data. The performance was demonstrated through biocompatibility testing and mechanical/functional bench testing, which usually involves a set number of physical device units rather than a dataset of patient information. The number of devices used for these tests is not specified in this summary.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not Applicable. As this is not an AI/ML system, there is no "ground truth" established by experts in the context of a test set for diagnostic accuracy. The evaluation revolves around the physical and material properties of the microcatheter.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable. There is no "adjudication method" described for a test set, as this is not an AI/ML system with diagnostic outputs that require 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. This is not an AI-assisted device. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance effect size is relevant or reported.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This device is a physical medical instrument, not an AI algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- Not Applicable. For a physical device like a microcatheter, the "ground truth" used for evaluation is based on established engineering standards for mechanical performance, material science for biocompatibility, and regulatory criteria for safety and effectiveness compared to predicate devices. It's not about diagnostic accuracy.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML system. There is no "training set" in the context of data for model development.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. As no training set exists for an AI/ML model, there's no ground truth established in this context.
