The Arrow Arterial Catheterization Device permits access to the peripheral arterial circulation or to other small vessels.

Device Description

The Arrow® Quickflash Arterial Catheterization Device, which is a sterile, single use arterial catheterization device, is designed to permit access to the peripheral arterial circulation or to other small vessels. The Arrow® Quickflash Arterial Catheterization Device is an all-in-one design consisting of a translucent polyurethane, radiopaque single lumen arterial catheter-over-needle device that includes a clear chamber as part of the needle hub which allows visualization of blood flashback. The needle has openings to enhance flashback visibility and the hub is connected proximally to a slotted housing that contains the integral spring wire guide. A handle projects through the slotted housing to permit the advancement of the spring wire guide through the introducer needle into the vessel. This design allows for quick and simple catheter insertion since all of the devices required for insertion are provided together.

The Arrow Quickflash Arterial Catheterization Device is available with and without integrated molded suture wings in 20 gauge configurations with usable lengths of 3.81 cm (1 ½").

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of device performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML systems.

Instead, the document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Arrow Quickflash Arterial Catheterization Device) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The information provided pertains to:

  • Substantial Equivalence: The primary goal is to show the new device is substantially equivalent to an older, legally marketed predicate device (Arrow Radial Artery Catheterization Set K810675). This is achieved through comparisons of indications for use, technological characteristics, and non-clinical testing.
  • Technological Characteristics Comparison: A table compares design features of the predicate and subject device (e.g., catheter body OD and length, material, blood flashback visualization, integrated guidewire, sterilization method).
  • Nonclinical Testing: A list of bench tests performed for design verification (e.g., biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, leakage, tensile testing, luer testing, simulated use, penetration/insertion force, kink resistance, dimensional verification, needle flexing, spring wire guide flexing, catheter resistance to collapse).

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria and device performance as this document does not contain such details relevant to AI/ML or comparative effectiveness studies.

Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted from the provided text:

  1. AI/ML Context: The device is an "Arterial Catheterization Device" and appears to be a physical medical instrument, not an AI/ML software device.
  2. Acceptance Criteria & Performance Metrics: The document lists nonclinical testing to demonstrate safety and performance relative to the predicate, but these are not the "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in the sense of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or other statistical measures typically associated with AI/ML model evaluation.
  3. Study Details (Sample Size, Ground Truth, Experts): Since it's not an AI/ML product study, there is no mention of training sets, test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies.

In summary, the provided text is a regulatory submission for a physical medical device and does not contain the specifics required to answer your prompt, which seems to imply an AI/ML driven device evaluation.

Dear Ms. Ford:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices. good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

§ 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.
