AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the Boston Scientific Emerge™ PTCA Dilatation Catheter (1.20 mm). This is a medical device, and the "acceptance criteria" and "study" refer to the performance goals and the clinical trial conducted to demonstrate the device's safety and effectiveness for its intended use. There is no mention of "AI" in this document.

Here's the breakdown of the information requested:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Primary Endpoint)Reported Device Performance (Emerge 1.20 mm PTCA Dilatation Catheter)
Device procedural success, defined as: - Successful delivery, inflation, deflation, and withdrawal of the study balloon. - No evidence of vessel perforation, flow limiting dissection (grade C or higher), or reduction in TIMI flow from baseline related to the study balloon. - Final TIMI flow grade of 3 at the conclusion of the PCI procedure.Subjects: 98.3% (59/60) Lesions: 98.5% (66/67) Specifically: - Failure of delivery, inflation/deflation, and withdrawal: 1.7% (1/60 subjects, 1.5% (1/67) lesions) due to unsuccessful delivery (failure to cross a lesion). - Vessel perforation, flow limiting dissection, or reduction in TIMI flow: 0.0% (0/60 subjects, 0/67 lesions). - Failure of final TIMI flow: 0.0% (0/60 subjects, 0/67 lesions).
Secondary Clinical Endpoints (Safety Events): In-hospital MACE (cardiac and non-cardiac death, MI and TVR) In-hospital stent thrombosis within the target vessel Clinically significant arrhythmias requiring interventionIn-hospital MACE: 5.0% (3/60 subjects) - All Death or MI: 5.0% (3/60) - All Death: 0.0% (0/60) - MI: 5.0% (3/60) - Q-Wave MI: 0.0% (0/60) - Non-Q-Wave MI: 5.0% (3/60) - TVR, Overall: 0.0% (0/60) - In-hospital ARC Stent Thrombosis: 0.0% (0/60) - In-hospital Clinical Significant Arrhythmias: 0.0% (0/60)

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set (Clinical Study) Sample Size: 60 subjects with 67 target lesions.
  • Data Provenance: Prospective, open-label, multi-center, single-arm, observational study (called "EMERGE") conducted at 3 US sites.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

The document does not explicitly state the "number of experts" or their "qualifications" involved in establishing ground truth in the way one might for an AI model's test set. However, in a clinical trial setting for a medical device:

  • The "ground truth" for success/failure, complications, and patient outcomes are typically determined by the treating physicians at the clinical sites based on their observations during the procedure and post-procedure follow-up.
  • Adjudication committees (often composed of independent expert clinicians) are commonly used in clinical trials to ensure consistency and impartiality in evaluating clinical endpoints, especially adverse events. The "Secondary Endpoint Outcomes" table indicates "CEC adjudicated data" (Clinical Events Committee), suggesting that expert clinicians were involved in reviewing and determining the final classification of these events. The specific number and qualifications of these CEC members are not provided in this summary.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The document states that "Secondary Endpoint Outcomes" are based on "site reported and CEC adjudicated data," indicating that a Clinical Events Committee (CEC) was involved in adjudicating safety endpoints. The specific method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) is not detailed, but the use of a CEC implies a formal, expert-driven review process for critical events.
  • For the primary endpoint, the data appears to be based on site-reported observations of procedural success, with definitions provided in the protocol.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

  • No. This was a single-arm observational study evaluating the performance of the Emerge 1.20 mm PTCA Dilatation Catheter alone. It did not involve comparing human readers (clinicians) with and without AI assistance.

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

  • Not applicable. This document is about a physical medical device (a catheter), not an algorithm or AI.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The ground truth for the clinical study was based on clinical observations, procedural outcomes, and patient follow-up data collected during hospitalization.
  • This includes direct measurements and assessments made by interventional cardiologists (e.g., TIMI flow grade, presence of dissection/perforation), as well as clinical event reporting and subsequent adjudication by a Clinical Events Committee (CEC) for safety endpoints (e.g., MI, death, stent thrombosis).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI/machine learning model, so there is no concept of a "training set" in this context. The device was evaluated in a clinical study to assess its performance in real-world use.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable. (See #8)

Clinical StudyPurposeThe objective of the EMERGE study was to evaluate the acute safety anddevice procedural success of the Emerge 1.20 mm PTCA DilatationCatheter when used to initially treat the stenotic portion of coronaryarteries or bypass grafts.
Clinical StudyDesignThe EMERGE study was a prospective, open label, multi-center, singlearm, observational study designed to evaluate the acute safety and deviceprocedural success of the Emerge 1.20 mm PTCA Dilatation Catheter insubjects with stenotic coronary arteries or bypass grafts duringpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Sixty (60) subjects were treated at 3 US sites with the Emerge 1.20 mmPTCA Dilatation Catheter to pre-dilate coronary arteries or bypass graftsduring their index procedure. All subjects were to be screened accordingto the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria and were followed throughhospital discharge.
The primary endpoint was device procedural success consisting ofsuccessful delivery, inflation, deflation and withdrawal of the studyballoon; no evidence of vessel perforation, flow limiting dissection (gradeC or higher) or reduction in TIMI flow from baseline related to the studyballoon; final TIMI flow grade of 3 at the conclusion of the PCI procedure.
The secondary clinical endpoints measured through hospital dischargeincluded in-hospital MACE (cardiac and non-cardiac death, MI and TVR);in-hospital stent thrombosis within the target vessel; clinically significantarrhythmias requiring intervention.
Subjects were followed through hospital discharge.
Demographicsand BaselineLesionCharacteristicsDemographics: A total of 60 subjects with 67 target lesions wereenrolled in the study at 3 US sites. The subject population waspredominantly male (71.7%) and Caucasian (95.0%) with an average ageof 61 years. Most subjects had a history of medically treatedhyperlipidemia (85.0%) and hypertension (93.3%) with a history of PCI(61.7%); myocardial infarction (23.3%), and coronary bypass surgery(18.3%). Medically-treated diabetic subjects accounted for 35% of thesubject population, of which 16.7% were insulin-requiring.
Baseline Lesion Characteristics: The average reference vesseldiameter was $2.6 \pm 0.5$ mm, average minimum lumen diameter was $0.7 \pm$0.4 mm, average diameter stenosis was $73.0% \pm 12.6%$ , and averagelesion length was $15.5 \pm 14.7$ mm. Total occlusion was observed in10.4% (7/67) of target lesions.
Clinical StudyResultsPrimary Endpoint (Device Procedural Success): As illustrated inTable 1, 98.3% (59/60) of subjects and 98.5% (66/67) of lesions achieveddevice procedural success including successful delivery, inflation,deflation, and withdrawal of the Emerge 1.20 mm PTCA DilatationCatheter. Device procedural failure was observed in 1.7% (1/60) ofsubjects and 1.5% (1/67) of lesions and was related to unsuccessfuldelivery (i.e., failure to cross a lesion) of the study device. No proceduralcomplications were observed in the intent-to-treat subject population.This included no vessel perforation, no flow-limiting dissection, and noreduction in TIMI flow from baseline. Furthermore, 100% (60/60) ofsubjects and 100% (67/67) of lesions had a final TIMI flow grade of 3 atthe conclusion of the PCI procedure.

§ 870.5100 Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Catheter.

(a)
Standard PTCA Catheter —(1)Identification. A PTCA catheter is a device that operates on the principle of hydraulic pressurization applied through an inflatable balloon attached to the distal end. A PTCA balloon catheter has a single or double lumen shaft. The catheter features a balloon of appropriate compliance for the clinical application, constructed from a polymer. The balloon is designed to uniformly expand to a specified diameter and length at a specific pressure as labeled, with well characterized rates of inflation and deflation and a defined burst pressure. The device generally features a type of radiographic marker to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization of the balloon during use. A PTCA catheter is intended for balloon dilatation of a hemodynamically significant coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A PTCA catheter may also be intended for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction; treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and/or post-deployment stent expansion.(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Certain Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Catheters.” See § 870.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(b)
Cutting/scoring PTCA Catheter —(1)Identification. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is a balloon-tipped catheter with cutting/scoring elements attached, which is used in those circumstances where a high pressure balloon resistant lesion is encountered. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter is intended for the treatment of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. A cutting/scoring PTCA catheter may also be indicated for use in complex type C lesions or for the treatment of in-stent restenosis.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval). As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before this device may be commercially distributed. See § 870.3.
