Intended Use

The PSA cable is an accessory indicated for use with external PSA equipment distributed by Boston Scientific and is used for the transmission of sensing signals and pacing pulses for evaluation of lead placement characteristics during implant of pacemakers and defibrillators and for the support of other pacemaker functionality.

Device Description

The Pacing System Analyzer (PSA) cable, Model 6763, is an external cable used to transmit signals to and from a connected PSA device. The connected PSA equipment is used during the implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators to evaluate the placement and integrity of leads and to determine the appropriate pacing parameters for the implanted device. The PSA cable leadwires are affixed to the implanted lead while the other end of the cable, the trunk cable, is plugged into the external PSA device. The PSA cable is used with the BSC distributed PSA devices.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the Boston Scientific PSA Cable, Model 6763. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than detailing specific clinical study results or acceptance criteria with numerical performance targets for an AI device.

Therefore, many of the requested sections about acceptance criteria, performance metrics, sample sizes, and expert adjudication are not applicable or cannot be extracted from this document, as it pertains to a physical cable intended for signal transmission, not an AI-powered diagnostic device.

Here's a breakdown based on the provided text, indicating where information is present and where it is not:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Not applicable in the context of an AI device's performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity). The "Performance Data" section describes categories of testing for a physical cable.

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance (as far as applicable for a cable)
SterilizationVerification and Validation (V&V) testing performed. Implied successful.
BiocompatibilityV&V testing performed. Implied successful.
Electromagnetic CompatibilityV&V testing performed. Implied successful.
Electrical SafetyV&V testing performed. Implied successful.
Performance/Bench testingV&V testing performed. Implied successful.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

Not applicable. This document describes testing for a physical cable, not a software device that uses a test set of data. The performance section mentions "Design verification and validation (V&V) testing" which refers to laboratory and bench tests for electrical, mechanical, and safety aspects, not a dataset from patients.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. This is not a study requiring expert readers to establish ground truth for a diagnostic AI.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable.

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 not an AI device for diagnostic assistance.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

Not applicable. The "ground truth" for a cable's performance would be engineering specifications and standards, verified through bench testing, not clinical outcomes or expert consensus on medical images/data.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable.

Dear Melissa Klamerus:

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 device

{1}------------------------------------------------

related 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address
