Intended Use

The ReFLOW Aspiration Catheter is indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels in the coronary, carotid and peripheral vasculature.

Device Description

The ReFLOW Aspiration Catheter is an embolectomy catheter comprised of a catheter shaft and hub. It is 150cm long and is available in 6F and 7F diameters.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the ReFLOW Aspiration Catheter, which includes performance data derived from non-clinical testing. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study with specific performance metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, or AUC, which are typically used for AI/ML-based device performance evaluations. The data provided focuses on physical and biological characteristics of the device, not a comparative clinical study or AI algorithm performance.

Therefore, many of the requested categories cannot be filled as the information is not present in the provided document.

Here's a breakdown of the available information and what's missing:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Limulus Amebocyte LysateSuccessfully completed

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document describes non-clinical bench and biocompatibility testing. It does not refer to a "test set" in the context of clinical data, AI/ML performance evaluation, or patient-specific samples. The tests were performed on the device itself. Therefore, sample size and data provenance as requested are not applicable in this context.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. This is not a study that uses expert-established ground truth for a test set. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests would be the established scientific methods and pass/fail criteria for each specific test (e.g., a certain tensile strength must be achieved, or a certain level of cytotoxicity must not be exceeded).

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. There is no test set in the clinical evaluation sense that would require adjudication.

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/ML-based device and no MRMC study is described.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML-based device.

7. The type of ground truth used

For the non-clinical and biocompatibility tests, the ground truth is based on established industry standards, scientific methodologies, and product specifications. For example, tensile strength tests have defined failure points, and biocompatibility tests have defined acceptable limits for various biological responses.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. There is no training set mentioned as this is not an AI/ML-based device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. There is no training set mentioned as this is not an AI/ML-based device.

Dear Mr. Park:

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.
