The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement of devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures
The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire consists of a jacketed core wire with a hydrophilic coating applied to the jacket. The wire will be offered in straight and angled configurations in various lengths.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire), focusing on its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The information available pertains to the device's technical characteristics, intended use, and the performance tests conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
However, the document does not contain specific details regarding acceptance criteria in a quantitative table format with reported device performance against those criteria. It states that "all test results were comparable to the predicate devices and all predetermined acceptance criteria for tests were successful."
Furthermore, the document does not provide information relevant to AI/ML device studies, such as:
- Sample size used for the test set or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
- Number of experts used to establish ground truth or their qualifications.
- Adjudication method for the test set.
- Whether a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or effect size of human improvement with AI.
- Standalone (algorithm-only) performance.
- Type of ground truth used (e.g., expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data).
- Sample size for the training set.
- How ground truth for the training set was established.
This is expected as the document appears to be a traditional medical device submission for a guide wire, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or assistive device.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for the comprehensive acceptance criteria and study details related to AI/ML device performance from the provided text. The device is a "Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire" and the studies described are traditional lab-based performance and safety tests, not clinical studies involving AI.
§ 870.1330 Catheter guide wire.
(a)
Identification. A catheter guide wire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a torque device that is manually operated, non-patient contacting, and intended to manipulate non-cerebral vascular guide wires, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.
