Intended Use

The HQS introducer (Model 2064-HQS) is intended to be inserted in the vasculature to provide a conduit for the insertion of endovascular devices while minimizing blood loss associated with such insertions

Device Description

The High Quality Sealing (HQS) Introducer comprises 4 elements, a radio- opaque introducer sheath equipped with a haemostasis valve, a radio- opaque dilator, a centering wire device and an extension line with 3 ways stopcock. The range of HQS introducer (18F, 20F, 22F, 24F, 26F) permits the insertion, preserving sealing, of large caliber tools, from OF, up to the nominal size of-the-introducer-sheath.. The introducer and its adjustable valve are easily handled with one hand. The distal tip is designed to perform an efficient introduction of the HQS introducer with the dilator in the vessel. The centering device permits to introduce a guidewire through the valve and to keep a perfect sealing. The extension line is connected to the lateral port of the introducer for the injection during the procedure.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called the "HQS Introducer (Model 2064-HQS)". It describes the device, its intended use, and the non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness for substantial equivalence. It does not describe an AI medical device.

Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria and studies (particularly those related to AI performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, and MRMC studies) cannot be extracted from this document as it pertains to a physical medical device.

The study described is a series of in-vitro and biocompatibility tests to ensure the physical device meets established standards for safety and performance, not a study to prove AI performance.

Here's what can be extracted about the general acceptance criteria and studies for this physical medical device:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document mentions that the device is in compliance with ISO 11070:1999 for "Sterile, single use intravascular catheter introducers" and ISO 10993-1:2009 for biocompatibility. The specific acceptance criteria for each test (e.g., tensile strength, overpressure resistance, useful dimensions) are not quantitatively reported in this summary, but the general statement is that the results demonstrate that the device is in compliance and meets the requirements.
