The Stealth 360° Orbital PAD System is a percutaneous orbital atherectomy system indicated for use as therapy in patients with occlusive atherosclerotic disease in peripheral arteries and who are acceptable candidates for percutaneous transluminal atherectomy.
The OAS supports removal of stenotic material from artificial arteriovenous dialysis fistulae (AV shunt). The OAS is a percutaneous orbital atherectomy system indicated as a therapy in patients with occluded hemodialysis grafts who are acceptable candidates for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
The Stealth 360° Orbital PAD System is an orbital atherectomy system (OAS) that is intended for use in the treatment of peripheral arteries and A-V graft (shunt) stenosis.
The OAS provides a method of removing stenotic material from peripheral arteries and A-V grafts. The Stealth 360° uses an electrically driven shaft to apply a diamond coated, eccentrically rotating surface to ablate stenotic material. The stenotic particles that are removed are small enough to be absorbed by the body.
The Stealth 360° Orbital PAD System consists of the following components:
-
- Orbital Atherectomy Device (OAD)
-
- Atherectomy Guide Wire
-
- Saline Infusion Pump (SIP)
-
- Atherectomy Lubricant (e.g. ViperSlide)
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting study for the Stealth 360° Orbital PAD System:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria Category | Reported Device Performance (as per 510(k) Summary) |
---|---|
Mechanical/Physical Performance | "All test results demonstrate that the materials chosen, the manufacturing process, and the design utilized for the Stealth 360° Orbital PAD System met the established specifications necessary for consistent performance during its intended use." Specific tests include: |
- Life/Stall Testing
- Orbit Testing
- Switch Logic/End of Life Testing
- Distribution Testing
- Shelf Life Testing |
| Biocompatibility | "ISO MEM Elution Assay"
"ISO Intracutaneous Reactivity Test" |
| Electrical Safety | "Electrical Safety Testing" |
| Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) | "Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing" |
| Software/Firmware Performance | "Firmware testing: Modular, Integration, Functional" |
| Overall Equivalence | "The Stealth 360° Orbital PAD System with the CSI developed PCBA met all predetermined acceptance criteria of design verification and validation testing as specified by applicable standards, test protocols, and/or customer inputs. Testing results demonstrate that the Stealth 360° Orbital PAD System with the CSI developed PCBA is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device and does not raise any new safety or effectiveness questions." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The provided 510(k) summary focuses on performance bench testing rather than clinical study data involving human subjects or extensive retrospective/prospective data. Therefore, the concept of "test set sample size" in the context of patients/data provenance as typically understood for AI/diagnostic devices is not directly applicable here.
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in terms of individual devices tested for each bench test, but implied to be sufficient for each specific test mentioned (e.g., "Life/Stall Testing," "Orbit Testing"). These would likely involve a statistically relevant number of devices or components to demonstrate reliability and performance metrics, but the exact number isn't quantified in the summary.
- Data Provenance: This relates to bench testing performed by the manufacturer, Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. The data is thus internal, from a controlled environment, rather than clinical patient data from specific countries. It is prospective in the sense that the tests were designed and executed to verify the modified device's performance against pre-defined criteria.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Not applicable. This device is a mechanical atherectomy system, and the "testing" described is bench testing of physical, electrical, and firmware components, along with biocompatibility tests. The "ground truth" for these tests is established by engineering specifications, international standards (e.g., ISO), and functional requirements, not by expert interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not applicable. As the testing involves objective, quantifiable bench tests (e.g., electrical measurements, mechanical endurance, orbital rotation, elution assays), there is no need for expert adjudication in the way it would be applied to subjective clinical evaluations or image interpretations. Test results are compared directly against pre-defined acceptance limits.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
- No. An MRMC study is relevant for diagnostic devices, particularly those involving human readers interpreting outputs (e.g., radiologists reading images with or without AI assistance). This 510(k) is for a mechanical surgical device and its modification. Clinical effectiveness is typically established via larger clinical trials, not solely MRMC studies, although this 510(k) relies on substantial equivalence primarily through bench testing. The summary does not provide any information about human readers or their improvement with AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study was Done
- Not applicable. This device is a mechanical and electrical system, not an AI algorithm. Its performance is inherent to its design and manufacturing, and while it has "firmware," it doesn't function as a standalone diagnostic algorithm in the way this question implies for AI or software as a medical device. Its operation is always "human-in-the-loop" as it's a surgical tool operated by a physician.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For the bench tests: Engineering specifications, design requirements, and compliance with recognized industry standards (e.g., ISO for biocompatibility, electrical safety standards) serve as the "ground truth." For example, a "Life/Stall Test" would have an established number of cycles or operating hours the device must withstand before failure, and passing this threshold is the "ground truth."
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. This device does not use a "training set" in the context of machine learning. The design and validation are based on traditional engineering principles, physical testing, and prior knowledge of the predicate device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable. As there is no training set, this question is not relevant.
