The GALAXY G3 Mini Microcoil Delivery System is intended for endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms, other neurovascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations fistulae, and is also intended for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.
The GALAXY G3 Mini Microcoil Delivery Systems consist of three components, a Microcoil System, a connecting cable, and a Detachment Control Box (DCB). Each component is sold separately. As shown in Figure 1, the Microcoil System consists of a microcoil attached to a Device Positioning Unit (DPU). The Microcoil System is packaged in an introducer sheath designed to protect the coil in the packaging dispenser and to provide support for introducing the coil into the microcatheter catheter. The microcoil is the implantable segment of the device, and is detached from the Device Positioning Unit (DPU) using the Detachment Control System (Detachment Control Box and connecting cable). The microcoil is fabricated from a platinum alloy wire. The wire is wound into a primary coil which contains a polypropylene suture (SR) and then formed into a secondary shape. The secondary shape is complex. The DPU is a variable stiffness wire and has a radiopaque marker band located three (3) cm from its distal end. The Device Positioning Unit includes five (5) fluoro saver markers on the proximal section of the shaft. The markers are intended to indicate when the tip of the microcoil is approaching the tip of the microcatheter. When the distal-most marker reaches the proximal end of the Rotating Hemostatic Valve (RHV) on the microcatheter, the tip of the coil is approaching the tip of the microcatheter and fluoroscopy should be used to guide further coil insertion. The introducer sheath has three main components: an introducer tip, a translucent introducer body, and a re-sheathing tool. The EnPOWER Detachment Control Box (DCB) provides the energy necessary to allow for a thermo-mechanical detachment of the microcoil from the DPU. The connecting cable delivers the energy necessary to detach the embolic coil from the Microcoil System's detachment zone. The connecting cable is connected between the Microcoil System's hub connector on the DPU and the output connector on the DCB. The connecting cables may be one of two types: one with a remote detach button (the EnPower Control Cable) catalog no. ECB000182-00, or one without a detach button (standard connecting cable) catalog no. CCB00157-00. The EnPower Detachment Control Box works with the EnPower Control Cable and with the standard connecting cable.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the exact sample sizes used for each individual performance test (test sets). It generally refers to "samples" being tested.
The data provenance is bench testing, which implies the data was collected within a laboratory setting, likely in the US, given the submission to the FDA. It is retrospective in the sense that it's testing a finished device against predetermined criteria.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
No individual experts or their qualifications are mentioned for establishing ground truth for the bench tests. The "ground truth" for these tests is based on established engineering specifications, industry standards (e.g., USP788, ISO standards), and clinical relevance/simulated use scenarios. For the "Overall Coil Performance" test, "physician's satisfaction rating" was evaluated, implying input from medical professionals, but the number and qualifications are not specified.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable for the reported tests. The tests are primarily objective measurements against established criteria, or visual inspections by qualified personnel (not specified as "experts" in the context of adjudication).
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "A clinical study was not required as appropriate verification and validation of the GALAXY G3 Mini Microcoil Delivery System was achieved based on the similarities of the proposed device to the predicate device, and from results of bench testing."
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device (microcoil delivery system), not an algorithm or AI software. Therefore, the concept of "standalone algorithm performance" does not apply. The performance tests are for the physical device itself.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the bench tests is based on:
- Engineering specifications and design requirements: For dimensional checks, material properties, and functional performance (e.g., spring constant, detachment force, tensile strength).
- Industry standards: Such as USP788 for particulate matter, ISO 11607 for packaging, ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility, and ISO 11135-1 for sterilization.
- Simulated use in clinically relevant models: For tests like track force, coil durability, detachment durability, resheathing reliability, fluoro saver marker durability, and distal outer sheath durability.
- Physician satisfaction rating: For "Overall Coil Performance" compared to a predicate device, which implies a subjective expert assessment.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning model that requires a "training set." The listed studies are verification and validation tests for the device itself.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

A clinical study was not required as appropriate verification and validation of the GALAXY G3 Mini Microcoil Delivery System was achieved based on the similarities of the proposed device to the predicate device, and from results of bench testing.
Based upon the design, materials, function, intended use, performance, VIII. Conclusion manufacturing and sterilization process and the non-clinical testing performed by Codman, it is concluded that the GALAXY G3 Mini Microcoil Delivery Systems are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed CODMAN DELTAXSFT Microcoil Delivery Systems (K150319) and therefore, does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.

§ 882.5950 Neurovascular embolization device.
(a)
Identification. A neurovascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to permanently occlude blood flow to cerebral aneurysms and cerebral ateriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in other vascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 870.3300.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 882.1(e).
