The Bard PTV Dilatation Catheters are recommended for Percutaneous Transluminal Valvuloplasty (PTV) of the pulmonary valve.
- A patient with isolated pulmonary stenosis .
- A patient with valvular pulmonary stenosis with other minor congenital heart . disease that does not require surgical intervention.
The Bard PTV Dilatation Catheter is a high performance balloon catheter consisting of an over the wire catheter with a balloon fixed at the distal tip. The proprietary noncompliant, low profile balloon is designed to provide consistent balloon diameters and lengths even at high pressures. Two radiopaque markers delineate the working length of the balloon and aid in balloon placement. The coaxial catheter includes an atraumatic tip to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the valve. The over the wire catheter is compatible with 0.035" guidewire and is available in 75 and 100 cm working lengths. The proximal portion of the catheter includes a female luer lock hub connected to the inflation lumen, and a female luer-lock hub connected to the guidewire lumen.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the specific numerical sample size for each individual test. It refers to "All results showed the subject device passed the specified criteria" and "all samples were able to be fully deflated," suggesting multiple units were tested for each criterion.
- Data Provenance: The data is from in vitro testing conducted by Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. The document does not specify the country of origin of the data beyond the company's location (Tempe, Arizona, USA). It is prospective in the sense that these tests were performed on the device to demonstrate equivalence for regulatory submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not applicable to this submission. The "ground truth" here is the performance specifications of the device, which are determined through engineering principles, regulatory standards (e.g., ISO10555-1 mentioned for Tip Tensile), and comparison to predicate devices. There is no expert review or consensus process for establishing the "ground truth" of mechanical performance metrics like burst pressure or tensile strength in the way there would be for image analysis or clinical diagnosis.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable. Since the tests are objective, quantitative mechanical and functional assessments (e.g., measuring diameter, forces, times), there is no need for expert adjudication of results. The results are Pass/Fail based on comparison to pre-defined numerical criteria.
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
This information is not applicable. This submission is for a medical device (dilatation catheter), not an AI diagnostic or assistance system that would involve human readers or cases.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This information is not applicable. This refers to an algorithm's performance, which is not relevant for a physical medical device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the acceptance criteria and performance evaluation is based on:
- Engineering specifications and design requirements: Derived from the intended use and safety considerations.
- Regulatory standards: Such as ISO10555-1 mentioned for the Tip Tensile test.
- Performance of predicate devices: The "Predicate Mullins-X Acceptance Criteria" serve as a benchmark, and in some cases, the subject device's criteria are "more robust."
Essentially, the ground truth is established by a combination of relevant standards and established performance benchmarks for similar devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. This device is a physical medical device. It does not involve a training set as would be used in machine learning or AI.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
This information is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

Dear Ms. Fox:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
{10}------------------------------------------------

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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 agencies. 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
