Intended Use

The Neo ERCP Guidewire is intended for use in selective cannulation of the biliary ducts including the common bile, pancreatic, cystic, right and left hepatic ducts and to aid in the placement of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during endoscopic procedures.

Device Description

The Neo ERCP Guidewire is constructed of a core wire of nickel titanium based alloy, a proximal polymer jacket and a radiopaque distal tip. It also features a hydrophilic coating and either straight or angled distal tip configurations. The distal end of the guidewire has a radiopaque distal tip (10cm). The wire family has two models, the Phantom refers to .025" OD models and the Palomino refers to .035" OD models. Both the Phantom and Palomino come in 260cm and 480cm lengths.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes a 510(k) submission for a medical device called the "Neo ERCP Guidewire." This type of submission is for demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, rather than proving safety and effectiveness through clinical trials with defined acceptance criteria for device performance. Therefore, the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study details, ground truth, and human reader performance with AI assistance is not typically found or required in a Traditional 510(k) submission like this one.

Here's why and what can be extracted from the document:

Traditional 510(k) Focus:
A Traditional 510(k) submission (like K123439) primarily focuses on demonstrating that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device. This usually involves:

  • Comparison of technological characteristics: Showing similarities in design, materials, manufacturing processes, and fundamental operating principles.
  • Bench testing: Verifying that the proposed device performs comparably to the predicate device or meets relevant standards for its intended use, typically through non-clinical (laboratory) tests. This is to ensure the new device doesn't raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
  • Biocompatibility, sterility, shelf-life, and packaging studies: To ensure the device is safe for patient contact and remains sterile and functional over time.

Information Not Found (and why):

  • Acceptance Criteria for Device Performance and Reported Performance Table: This document does not present specific clinical performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) with associated acceptance criteria, as it's not a clinical performance study. The "performance" referred to in this document relates to bench testing (e.g., tensile strength, flexibility), not clinical outcomes or diagnostic accuracy.
  • Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance: Not applicable for a Traditional 510(k) based on bench testing. There is no "test set" in the sense of patient data.
  • Number of Experts, Qualifications, and Adjudication Method: These concepts are related to establishing ground truth for clinical studies, which are not part of this submission type.
  • Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study: This is a type of clinical study often done for diagnostic imaging devices to evaluate human reader performance with and without AI. It is not relevant to a guidewire submission.
  • Standalone (algorithm-only) performance: This refers to AI-driven diagnostic accuracy and is not applicable to a physical medical device like a guidewire.
  • Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data): Ground truth is established for clinical studies. For a guidewire, "performance" is assessed through engineering and material tests, not clinical ground truth.
  • Sample Size for Training Set & How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established: These are terms related to AI/ML development and are not relevant to this device or submission type.

What is available in the provided document (related to your prompt's themes):

While the document doesn't fit the clinical study paradigm implied by your questions, it does describe the type of testing and comparisons performed to support substantial equivalence.

Here's a breakdown of the closest relevant information:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (as interpreted for a 510(k) bench study):

The "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) of this nature are typically defined by meeting established engineering standards and demonstrating comparable performance to the predicate device in specific bench tests. The "reported device performance" indicates that the device met these criteria.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Standards/Predicate Equivalence)Reported Device Performance
Material & Design Equivalence: Similar in materials (Nitinol, polymer, radiopaque tip), nominal diameters (0.025", 0.035"), and lengths (260cm, 480cm) to predicate.Confirmed: Similarities in Design, Material Types, and Technology (Nitinol alloy core wires, Distal radiopaque polymer tip, Lubricious coatings, Nominal diameters, Similar Lengths).
Mechanical Performance: Meet or be comparable to predicate for: Reverse Bend (Fatigue Failure), Tensile Strength, Fracture Resistance, Corrosion Resistance.Confirmed: Testing conducted per ISO 11070 (Reverse Bend, Tensile testing, Fracture Resistance, Corrosion Resistance). Results demonstrate the guidewire design meets product specifications.
Functional Performance: Meet or be comparable to predicate for: Radiodetectability, Rail Support.Confirmed: Testing conducted per ISO 11070 (Radiodetectability) and NeoMetrics' test method TM-3002 (Rail Support). Results demonstrate the guidewire design meets product specifications.
Sterility: Achieve sterility assurance level.Confirmed: Sterility evaluation conducted.
Biocompatibility: Pass tests for cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous irritation, acute systemic injection.Confirmed: Biocompatibility testing conducted (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Intracutaneous Irritation, Acute Systemic Injection).
Packaging Integrity: Maintain sterile barrier per ASTM F 2096-04 and ASTM F 88-09.Confirmed: Packaging Integrity testing conducted.
Shelf-Life: Maintain functional performance and integrity over specified shelf-life.Confirmed: Shelf-Life evaluation conducted.
Device Compatibility: Function as intended when used with other devices, as implied by "intended use" and "simulated use."Confirmed: Device Compatibility and Simulated Use testing conducted.

2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size: Not specified in terms of units for many bench tests, and the concept of "test set" for patient data is not applicable. For destructive tests, a sufficient number of samples would be used to ensure statistical validity for engineering testing, but explicit numbers for each test are not detailed in this summary.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data. The data originates from internal laboratory bench testing conducted by NeoMetrics, Inc.

3. Number of Experts, Qualifications, and Adjudication Method:

  • Not applicable as this is not a clinical study involving human judgment on patient data. Engineering tests are evaluated against predefined standards and specifications.

4. Adjudication Method:

  • Not applicable.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

  • No. This is a physical medical device, not a diagnostic AI system, so such a study would not be performed.

6. Standalone (algorithm only) performance:

  • No. This is a physical medical device with no AI component.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • For bench testing, the "ground truth" is typically defined by:
    • Validated engineering standards: (e.g., ISO 11070, ASTM F 2096-04, ASTM F 88-09).
    • Predicate device characteristics: The performance of the predicate device (JagWire - K922302) serves as a benchmark for comparison.
    • Internal product specifications: The manufacturer's own defined performance requirements for the guidewire.

8. Sample Size for Training Set:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

  • Not applicable.
