Intended Use

The Raider guidewire is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature.

Device Description

The Raider guidewire is a stainless steel core guidewire with a maximum outer diameter of 0.014″ and a straight, shapeable tip. It is available in 190 cm and 300 cm length is compatible with a guidewire extension. The distal portion of the guidewire includes a radiopaque coil and is covered with a polymer jacket and hydrophilic coating. The proximal portion has a PTFE coating.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Raider Guidewire. It outlines the device's indications, technological characteristics, and testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, this document does not contain the kind of detailed information about acceptance criteria or a study design (like sample size for test sets, data provenance, expert demographics, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance) that you would typically find for an AI/ML medical device.

The Raider Guidewire is a physical medical device (a catheter guide wire), not an AI/ML software device. Therefore, the questions posed in the prompt, which are highly specific to the evaluation of AI/ML diagnostic or predictive algorithms, are not applicable to the information provided in this 510(k) summary.

The document discusses "acceptance criteria" in a general sense through performance testing for mechanical properties and biocompatibility.

Here's the information that can be extracted or inferred from the provided text, while acknowledging that many of your questions cannot be answered because they pertain to a different type of device:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

The document doesn't provide specific numerical acceptance criteria for each test (e.g., "Tensile strength > X Newtons"). Instead, it states that "Device samples passed the following biocompatibility tests" and "The device design has been verified through the following tests." This implies that predefined acceptance criteria were met, but the specific values are not detailed.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Tensile Strength acceptableVerified, Passed
Torque Strength acceptableVerified, Passed
Torqueability acceptableVerified, Passed
Tip Flexibility acceptableVerified, Passed
Coating Adherence/Integrity acceptableVerified, Passed
Catheter Compatibility acceptableVerified, Passed
Dimensional Analysis acceptableVerified, Passed
Radiopacity acceptableVerified, Passed
Corrosion acceptableVerified, Passed
Cytotoxicity acceptablePassed
Sensitization acceptablePassed
Irritation acceptablePassed
Acute Systemic Toxicity acceptablePassed
Material Mediated Pyrogenicity acceptablePassed
Hemolysis acceptablePassed
Complement Activation acceptablePassed
Thrombogenicity acceptablePassed

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

This information is not provided in the document. For mechanical and biocompatibility testing of a physical device, samples are typically manufactured batches tested in a lab setting, not "test sets" in the AI/ML sense. Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not relevant for this type of testing.

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 information is not applicable/provided. "Ground truth" in the context of this device refers to objective measurements derived from physical and chemical tests, not expert interpretation of data.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

This information is not applicable/provided. Adjudication methods are relevant for human interpretation tasks, not for the objective testing of physical device properties.

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:

This information is not applicable/provided. MRMC studies and AI assistance are relevant for AI/ML diagnostic devices, not for a guidewire.

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

This information is not applicable/provided. This refers to AI algorithm performance, which is not relevant for this physical device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on objective measurements from standard mechanical, material, and biological tests (e.g., tensile strength testing, chemical assays for biocompatibility, dimensional measurements). It is not based on expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the way an AI/ML diagnostic system would be evaluated.

8. The sample size for the training set:

This information is not applicable/provided. Training sets are for AI/ML models. This device is a physical product.

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

This information is not applicable/provided. (See #8).

Dear Mark Job:

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 Mav 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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);

The technological differences between the subject and predicate devices have been evaluated through biocompatibility and bench tests to provide evidence of substantial equivalence for the Raider guidewire. The device design has been verified through the following tests:

  • Tensile Strength
  • Torque Strength
  • Torqueability
  • . Tip Flexibility
  • . Coating Adherence/Integrity
  • Catheter Compatibility
  • Dimensional Analysis
  • Radiopacity
  • Corrosion

Device samples passed the following biocompatibility tests performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1:

  • . Cytotoxicity
  • Sensitization
  • Irritation
  • Acute Systemic Toxicity
  • . Material Mediated Pyrogenicity
  • Hemolysis
  • Complement Activation
  • . Thrombogenicity

The Raider guidewire is substantially equivalent to the specified predicate device based on comparisons of the device functionality, technological characteristics, and indications for use. The minor technological and material differences between the Raider guidewire and the predicate device raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the Raider guidewire is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Raider guidewire is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
