The ASAHI Corsair Microcatheter is intended to provide support to facilitate the placement of Guide wires in the coronary and peripheral vasculatures and can be used to exchange one guide wire for another. The Corsair Microcatheter is also intended to assist in the delivery of contrast media into the coronary, peripheral, and abdominal vasculatures.
The ASAHI Corsair Microcatheter consists of a distal tip and a shaft tube that are inserted into a vascular connector for catheter control and infusion of contrast media. No accessories are part of this device. The Corsair has a radiopaque marker coil that is imbedded into the inner layer of resin to facilitate the tip location during angiographic procedures. In addition, the device has a hydrophilic coating on the outer surface of the shaft tube to provide a smooth transition in blood vessels. The distal tip of the Corsair has a tapered shape and is designed to have increased flexibility towards the distal end. PTFE is applied to the inner lumen of the catheter for the purposes of a smooth transition and exchange of guidewires.
The microcatheter also contains wires to reinforce the distal tip and shaft tube to allow the physician greater control of the device during interventional procedures.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the ASAHI Corsair Microcatheter. The notification aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (ASAHI Corsair Microcatheter, K083127). The information provided focuses on non-clinical testing and comparison to the predicate device, rather than a clinical study with detailed acceptance criteria and performance against those criteria in a typical AI/software context.
Here's an analysis of the provided text based on your request, with the understanding that this is a medical device submission focused on substantial equivalence through non-clinical testing:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria in a table format with corresponding performance results for each criterion in the way one might see for an AI/software device. Instead, it describes general performance categories and confirms they met "all acceptance criteria" or performed "similarly to the predicate."
- Acceptance Criteria (Implicit): Maintain torque durability, maintain coating integrity/peel strength, biocompatibility.
- Reported Device Performance:
- Torque Durability: "maintained the torque durability within the acceptance criteria."
- Coating Integrity/Peel Testing: "confirmed equivalent performance of the Subject device as compared to its predicate."
- Biocompatibility: "supports that the modifications to the coating material continue to render the device biocompatible."
- Overall: "The in vitro bench test demonstrated that the ASAHI Corsair Microcatheter met all acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate devices."
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document describes "non clinical laboratory testing" and "in vitro bench test." It does not specify sample sizes for these tests. The data provenance is implied to be from the manufacturer's internal testing ("ASAHI Intecc Co., Ltd." in Japan, with branch offices globally). This is not a clinical study; therefore, terms like retrospective/prospective clinical data or country of origin for patient data are not applicable.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This is not applicable as the device is a physical microcatheter, and the evaluation involves bench testing for mechanical and material properties, not interpretation of medical images or data by experts. Ground truth in this context would be defined by engineering specifications and biocompatibility standards.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. This is a non-clinical bench study, not a clinical study requiring adjudication of expert interpretations.
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 a physical medical device (microcatheter), not an AI or software device. No MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing would be defined by:
- Engineering specifications and standards: For torque durability and coating integrity/peel strength, the acceptance criteria are likely derived from internal specifications and/or industry standards for microcatheter performance.
- Biocompatibility standards: For biocompatibility, the ground truth refers to established international standards (e.g., ISO 10993 series) for evaluating biological responses to medical devices. The specific tests mentioned (cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, systemic toxicity (acute), and hemocompatibility) are standard tests within these guidelines.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI or software device that undergoes "training."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. As there is no training set for a physical device, this question is not relevant.
