The Peregrine System is intended for the infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents into the perivascular area.
The Peregrine System Infusion Catheter is a percutaneous catheter designed to deliver diagnostic and therapeutic agents through a vessel wall and into the perivascular space. The catheter contains three distal needles which are deployed using the control handle. Fluids are administered through the proximal injection lumen in the handle, which delivers the fluid through the needles at the distal end of the device. The micro-needles and the guide tubes are radiopaque for fluoroscopic visibility. The device is intended for vessels 5-7 mm in diameter and is compatible with guide catheters of at least 7F.
The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the ABLATIVE SOLUTIONS, INC. PEREGRINE SYSTEM™ INFUSION CATHETER. It focuses on the device's technological characteristics and non-clinical performance data to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than establishing acceptance criteria or reporting performance in a way that aligns with typical AI/algorithm-related studies.
Therefore, many of the requested elements for an AI device study are not present in this document.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding device performance metrics in the way one would for an AI algorithm. Instead, it lists various non-clinical tests conducted to demonstrate the device's functional integrity and safety.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Tests Conducted | Outcome/Reported Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Biocompatibility | Cytotoxicity | Met ISO 10993 standards |
| Sensitization | Met ISO 10993 standards | |
| Irritation/Intracutaneous | Met ISO 10993 standards | |
| Acute systemic toxicity | Met ISO 10993 standards | |
| Materials mediated pyrogenicity | Met ISO 10993 standards | |
| Hemocompatibility hemolysis (direct contact) | Met ISO 10993 standards | |
| Hemocompatibility hemolysis (extract) | Met ISO 10993 standards | |
| Complement activation of C3a and SC5b-9 | Met ISO 10993 standards | |
| Thrombogenicity in Sheep | Met ISO 10993 standards | |
| Functional Performance | Visual/Dimensional Inspection | Functions as intended |
| Air Ingress/Negative Collapse | Functions as intended | |
| Tensile Strength | Functions as intended | |
| Liquid Leakage under Pressure/Leakage at Hub | Functions as intended | |
| Flexibility and Kink | Functions as intended | |
| Tip Stiffness | Functions as intended | |
| Guide Tube Deployment Force | Functions as intended | |
| Catheter Torque | Functions as intended | |
| Guidewire Torque | Functions as intended | |
| Corrosion Resistance | Functions as intended | |
| Chemical Compatibility | Functions as intended | |
| Simulated Use Testing | Functions as intended | |
| Device Integrity | Packaging/Simulated Shipping Testing | Functions as intended |
| Sterilization validation | Functions as intended | |
| Clinical Performance | In-vivo testing | Functions as intended |
Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
The study proving the device meets the acceptance criteria is a comprehensive non-clinical testing program as outlined in the "Non-Clinical Performance Data" section.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated in terms of individual units tested for each specific test. The document mentions "testing performed on the proposed device," implying an adequate number of devices were tested per standard practice for each test type, but specific quantities are not provided.
- Data Provenance: The tests are described as "non-clinical bench testing, simulated-use testing and in-vivo testing." This indicates the data is generated through laboratory experiments and animal (sheep) studies, not human clinical data. The country of origin for these labs is not specified. It is prospective in the sense that the tests were designed and executed to evaluate the new device.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This is not applicable as the document describes the testing of a medical device (catheter), not an AI algorithm requiring expert-established ground truths on medical images or patient data. The "ground truth" here is adherence to engineering standards (ISO 10993, ISO 10555-1) and functional performance criteria. The experts involved would be engineers, scientists, and technicians conducting the tests and interpreting results against established standards. Their qualifications are not detailed.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable for a device testing report of this nature. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 typically refer to conflicts in expert labelers for AI ground truth, which is not relevant here.
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 document pertains to a physical medical device (infusion catheter), not an AI system. Therefore, no MRMC study or assessment of human reader improvement with AI assistance was conducted.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm; it's a medical device.
7. The type of ground truth used
The "ground truth" for this device's performance evaluation is established by:
- Adherence to International Standards: ISO 10993 (Biocompatibility) and ISO 10555-1 (Catheter standards).
- Functional Performance Specifications: Predefined engineering specifications for mechanical, chemical, and fluid delivery characteristics.
- In-vivo observations: Performance in animal models (e.g., thrombogenicity in sheep) against expected physiological responses.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.

- Predicate Devices: Mercator MicroSyringe II Infusion Catheter K062752 Rex Medical Quadra-Fuse Multi-pronged Injection Needle (exempt)
- Device Description: The Peregrine System Infusion Catheter is a percutaneous catheter designed to deliver diagnostic and therapeutic agents through a vessel wall and into the perivascular space. The catheter contains three distal needles which are deployed using the control handle. Fluids are administered through the proximal injection lumen in the handle, which delivers the fluid through the needles at the distal end of the device. The micro-needles and the guide tubes are radiopaque for fluoroscopic visibility. The device is intended for vessels 5-7 mm in diameter and is compatible with guide catheters of at least 7F.
- The Peregrine System Infusion Catheter is intended for the Indications for Use: infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents into the perivascular area of the peripheral vasculature.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The indications are substantially equivalent to the indications for the Mercator MedSystems MicroSyringe II Infusion Catheter. The MicroSyringe II is additionally indicated for use in the coronary vessels and for injection of diagnostic and therapeutic agents that are indicated for delivery into the vessel wall. Technological
Characteristics: The Peregrine System Infusion Catheter has three equally circumferentially spaced needles which deliver a diagnostic or therapeutic agent to a pre-specified depth by actuating the handle. A fluid can therefore be delivered to the perivascular area with complete circumferential coverage using a single injection. The needles are advanced mechanically from the handle.
The technological characteristics are comparable to the predicate device, which delivers drugs through a single micro-needle to a pre-specified depth. The micro-needle in the predicate device punctures the vessel wall using the force of a balloon at the distal Multiple, circumferential micro-needle end of the catheter. technology also exists in commercially available injection needles, which are 510(k) exempt.
The technological characteristics of the Peregrine System Infusion Catheter are comparable to the predicate device, and can be validated with bench testing. There are no technological differences which could raise new questions of safety or efficacy.
Non-Clinical
Performance Data:
Non-clinical testing included biocompatibility testing of the assembled device as defined in ISO 10993, functional testing as defined in ISO 10555-1 with Amendments 1 and 2, and customized testing for performance. Testing performed on the proposed device included:
- Visual/Dimensional Inspection .
