Intended Use

The Evalve Steerable Guide Catheter is used for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum.

Device Description

The Steerable Guide Catheter consists of a Steerable Guide (Guide) and a Dilator provided EO sterile and for single-use only. The Steerable Guide Catheter consists of a distal and proximal catheter shaft, a radiopaque tip ring, a handle with a steering knob, a hemostasis valve with a luer lock flush port, a Dilator with a single central lumen and an atraumatic distal tip. The central lumen of the Guide allows for aspiration of air and infusion of fluids such as saline, and serves as a conduit during introduction and or exchange of the Dilator and ancillary devices (e.g. catheters) that have a maximum diameter of .204". The atraumatic distal tip of the Steerable Guide Catheter is radiopaque to allow visualization under fluoroscopy. The Dilator consists of a radiopaque shaft, an echogenic feature at the distal tip, a hemostasis valve with a flush port and an internal lumen designed to accept ancillary devices that have a maximum diameter of 0.035" (e.g. needles or guidewires). The Steerable Guide Catheter and Dilator are packaged in two sealed Tyvek pouches, and boxed in a shelf-cardboard carton.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain the information required to populate the acceptance criteria table or describe a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of AI/ML performance.

The document is a 510(k) summary for a Steerable Guide Catheter, a physical medical device, not a software or AI/ML device. Therefore, it does not discuss:

  • Acceptance criteria in terms of AI/ML performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, AUC).
  • Any studies involving test sets, training sets, data provenance, ground truth establishment by experts, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies for AI/ML performance.

The "in vitro tests" mentioned in the document (overall dimensions, bend test, guide-to-dilator transition test, Echogenicity, and Radiopacity) are related to the physical characteristics and functionality of the catheter itself, not to the performance of any AI/ML algorithm.
