Intended Use

Femoral artery Introducer Set: The Introducer set are intended to provide access and facilitate the introduction of guide wires, catheters and other accessory medical devices through artery while minimizing blood loss during interventional procedures.

Radial Artery Introducer Set. The Introducer set are intended to provide access and facilitate the introduction of guide wires, catheters and other accessory medical devices through the skin into the radial artery while minimizing blood loss during interventional procedures.

Device Description

This set classifies two types: Femoral Artery and Radial Artery. The Femoral Artery introducer set consist of a sheath introdcuer, dilator, needle, Guidewire. The Radial Artery introducer set consist of a sheath introdcuer lubricated with/without hydrophilic coating, dilator, I.V. cannula /Introducer needle,Guidewire (with/without hydrophilic coating).

The Introducer Set consists of sheath introducer, each packaged in a set to together with a dilator, introdcuer needle, and guidewire. The introducer sheath is fitted with a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss during catheter introduction and/or exchange. A side port with tubing connected to a 3-way stopcocks is used for injection contrast medium. The dilator is provided to aid in the introduction of sheath to the target vessel. The Introducer needle/I.V. Cannula is provided a conduit for insertion of the guidewire into the vascular system. The guidewire is utilized as a guiding mechanism for the introducer sheath into the vascular system.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification summary for a medical device (KDL Introducer Set). It outlines the device's technical specifications, intended use, and comparison to a predicate device. However, this document describes a Class II medical device (a catheter introducer) and not an AI/ML-driven device. Therefore, the information typically requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and studies for AI/ML device performance (such as sample size for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, training set details, etc.) is not applicable to this type of traditional medical device.

Instead, the document details non-clinical performance testing and biocompatibility testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Here's a breakdown of the relevant information provided in the document concerning how the device meets acceptance criteria:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't present a single table with "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in the way one might for an AI/ML diagnostic output (e.g., sensitivity, specificity thresholds). Instead, it lists various "Testing item" and "Reference Standard/Guidance" for different components of the Introducer Set. The document then states:

"All sample tested met the standard applicable to each test." and "Base on the result of the performance and biocompatibility testing, the proposed device, Introducer Set, met all the predetermined acceptance criteria of design verification and validation as specified by applicable standards, guidance, and test protocols."

Here's a re-composition of this information into a table format based on the supplied text:

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

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample size for each test. It states "The performance tests were performed on the non-aged and ages to 3 years sample." This implies that samples were tested for immediate performance and also after accelerated aging simulating 3 years of shelf life. Specific lot sizes or number of units tested per parameter are not disclosed in this summary.
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, however, the manufacturer is Shanghai Kindly Medical Instruments Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, China. The testing would have been conducted by or for them, likely in China. The study is a non-clinical performance testing and biocompatibility assessment, rather than a clinical study with patient data.

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

  • This question is not applicable as this is a traditional medical device undergoing physical and biological performance testing, not an AI/ML device relying on interpretation of medical images or data by experts to establish ground truth. The "ground truth" here is defined by the technical specifications and standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM).

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

  • This question is not applicable for the same reason as point 3. Testing involves objective measurements against established engineering and biocompatibility standards.

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 question is not applicable as the device is not an AI-driven product nor does it involve human readers interpreting medical cases.

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

  • This question is not applicable as the device is not an algorithm.

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

  • The "ground truth" for this device is based on engineering specifications, established international standards (ISO, ASTM), and FDA guidance documents for medical devices (specifically catheter introducers and guidewires). For biocompatibility, it's based on standard biological test methods outlined in ISO 10993 and ASTM F756.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • This question is not applicable as this is a manufactured medical device, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set.

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

  • This question is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.
