Intended Use

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is indicated to be used for introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the peripheral (and coronary) vasculature. The device is also intended to be used within a pediatric population.

Device Description

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is a sterile, disposable device consisting of (a) a coil reinforced shaft with an atraumatic tip at the distal end; (b) a hemostasis valve with a side port and color coded 3-way stopcock; and (c) a tapered tip dilator with snap-fit hub at the proximal end.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System. It details the device's design, materials, indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices, along with non-clinical performance data.

However, the document does not contain acceptance criteria or study details in the format requested, which typically relates to performance metrics for AI/ML devices or clinical endpoints for studies proving substantial equivalence. Instead, it lists various engineering and biological tests conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the device as a whole, rather than specific performance metrics against pre-defined acceptance thresholds for an AI algorithm.

The document mainly focuses on proving the new device is substantially equivalent to existing, legally marketed devices. It details a comprehensive set of non-clinical tests (mechanical, biocompatibility, sterilization, accelerated aging, packaging integrity, simulated use, and usability) to demonstrate this equivalence and the device's safety and effectiveness.

Given the nature of the device (an introducer sheath system, which is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm or a diagnostic tool with specific performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity), the requested information regarding "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in terms of AI performance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, and standalone algorithm performance is not applicable.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table and answer the specific questions (2-9) about acceptance criteria, test set sample size, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, and training set details because this information is not present in the provided FDA document, as it pertains to a mechanical medical device, not an AI/ML diagnostic or therapeutic device.

The closest information to "acceptance criteria" is the list of standards the device testing conformed to, indicating that meeting these standards served as the "acceptance criteria" for demonstrating safety and effectiveness of a physical medical device. The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" is the collection of all the non-clinical tests listed in the "PERFORMANCE DATA" section.

Here's what can be extracted from the provided text, recognizing the constraints:

Primary Predicate Device: DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System (K142357)

Secondary Predicate Device: Pinnacle Destination Guiding Sheath (K091329)

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is a sterile, disposable device consisting of (a) a coil reinforced shaft with an atraumatic tip at the distal end; (b) a hemostasis valve with a side port and color coded 3-way stopcock; and (c) a tapered tip dilator with snap-fit hub at the proximal end.

  • (a) Shaft. The coil reinforced, multi-layer polymer shaft contains a tapered tip at the distal end. A continuous inner PTFE tube forms the core of the shaft and provides a circular working lumen through which devices can be passed. A single, full length

{4}------------------------------------------------

polyurethane tube creates the outer cover of the shaft. A stainless-steel flat wire coil is fused between the two polymer tubes along the entire length of the shaft. Hydrophobic coating is applied along the distal part of the outer layer for increased lubricity in this area. The coating coverage depends on the model. 15 cm product versions have 10 cm portion of the shaft coated, while 45 cm, 60 cm and 90 cm product versions have 15 cm portion of the shaft coated. A radiopaque marker made of platinum iridium is embedded at the distal end of the shaft. At the proximal end of the shaft, a female, winged luer hub is over-molded onto the shaft to support handling and to provide for the connection for the hemostasis valve. The hub is color coded to match the French size of the device.

  • (b) Hemostasis valve. A removable hemostasis valve is thread onto the luer hub at the proximal end of the shaft. Inside the valve housing, a lubricated, silicone slit disc provides a seal around devices passed through the sheath, thereby preventing blood leakage through the valve. Just distal of the valve, the valve housing is connected to a side port tube leading to three-way stopcock valve. The side port is used for flushing the introducer sheath. At the proximal end of the valve housing, the color-coded housing cap provides a snap fit connection to the hub of the dilator.
  • (c) Dilator. The dilator made of TPE contains a full-length round lumen to allow placement over a guide wire. The distal end of the dilator is configured as a tapered tip that extends about 2 cm beyond the end of the sheath when the dilator is fully inserted through the sheath. An integral, color coded luer hub that is over-molded onto the proximal end of the dilator supports handling of the dilator and provides a snap fit connection to the valve housing cap at the proximal end of the sheath introducer.

The shaft and the hemostasis valve are pre-assembled and packaged together with one or two dilators (depending on the model), that is sealed inside a medical grade Tyvek pouch on which a product label is placed. Devices are packaged in labeled packers containing five units and one Instruction for Use (IFU) booklet. The device has a shelf life of three years.

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is a prescription medical device that is used only in healthcare facilities or hospitals. The device is placed in patients for up to 24 hours.

Devices are sterilized using ethylene oxide (maximum levels of remaining tested sterilant residuals of EO < 2.9mg/24h and ECH < 1mg/24h; sterilant residual limits of EO < 4mg/24h and ECH < 9mg/24h; Sterility Assurance Level, SAL 10t9).

Operation and Compatibility

The device is operated manually and is to be handled aseptically by qualified medical personnel familiar with its application. The device includes metal components and cannot be exposed to MRI.

{5}------------------------------------------------

After removal from the sterile pouch packaging using aseptic techniques, the device is placed into the vasculature. Prior to use, the introducer sheath and dilator are flushed with heparinized solution. The dilator is then inserted completely into the introducer sheath and locked into place through the snap fit connection at the housing of the hemostasis valve. The dilator-sheath-combination is then passed as one unit over a guide wire with a maximum size of up to 0.035 inches for 4 French, 5 French and 6 French models, up to 0.038 inches for 7 French and 8 French models . 15 cm models contain an additional dilator compatible with guidewires up to 0.018 inches. Guide wire is not part of the device. Once the introducer sheath is fully placed in the patient, the guide wire and dilator are removed and compatible catheters and instruments can be inserted through the introducer sheath.

The various models of the device are compatible with catheters and instruments with outside diameters up to the French size labeled for each model. The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is placed in patients for several hours depending on the procedure type for which the compatible catheters and other instruments are intended, but the maximum time is up to 24 hours (i.e. biocompatibility contact classification of less than 24-hour duration).

For removal of the sheath, a guide wire is inserted past the distal tip of the sheath and the dilator is passed over the wire into the sheath. Sheath and dilator are then removed as one unit.

No energy source nor software are employed in the operation of the device. The device includes no electrical components and therefore does not require EMC and Electrical safety evaluation.

Physical Description

The schematic diagram below illustrates the range of dimensions for the full range of models.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is indicated to be used for introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the peripheral (and coronary) vasculature. The device is also intended to be used within a pediatric population.

The Indications for Use statement for the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is not identical to that of the two legally marketed predicate devices; however, the differences are not critical as they do not alter the intended use of the device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate devices when used as labeled. The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System and the two predicate devices each have the same intended use, namely to support the introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICES

The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is a manually operated, sterile, single patient use sheath system made predominantly of thermoplastic polymers. The sheath is reinforced with a stainless-steel coil in order to provide kink resistance when passed through tortuous paths. With regard to the design, device features, method of sterilization, and mode of operation, the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System does not differ from the predicate devices. Materials used for manufacture of the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System are identical as for the legally marketed primary predicate device, or very similar to those contained in the legally marketed secondary predicate devices.

Technological characteristics of the subject device do not differ from the primary predicate devices and differ from the secondary predicate only with respect to materials for selected components and the choice of lubricious coating on the sheath. Both the polyurethane used for the outer layer and the hydrophobic coating applied to the distal end of the sheath of the

{8}------------------------------------------------

DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System are commonly used in medical devices, including introducer sheaths and catheters and are identical with those used in the primary predicate. There are no differences in the material and technological characteristics between the subject device and the primary predicate device.

Differences in technological characteristics between the subject device and the secondary predicate do not raise and concerns of safety and effectiveness, as demonstrated by the performance data collected.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

Nonclinical and clinical performance data demonstrate that the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is safe and effective and its performance is substantially equivalent to the predicates. The following performance data from non-clinical tests are being provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:

  • Mechanical testing, including tests required under relevant international standards, coating adhesion and particulate testing, and transportation integrity testing, performed to verify and validate the design.
  • Biocompatibility Risk Assessment (BRA) and performed biocompatibility device testing to demonstrate biocompatibility.
  • Sterilization information to confirm sterility of the device upon exposure to the selected sterilization cycle.

List of Tests

{9}------------------------------------------------

{10}------------------------------------------------

The device is cleared for use in Europe (CE certification no.2017847CE05). Feedback recorded from 16 clinical cases performed in 7 centers in Germany in April and May 2014 demonstrated that the subject device performs comparably with the secondary predicate and other legally marked devices and is safe and effective. The performance is identical with the primary predicate. No clinical testing is being submitted to support review of this 510(k) premarket notification.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

Results demonstrate that the DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System performs identically with the primary predicate, comparably with the second predicate and other legally marketed devices, and is safe and effective. The DuraSheath Introducer Sheath System is substantially equivalent to the two predicates devices in terms of intended use, design and materials, technological characteristics, and principle of operation. Any differences between the subject device and the predicates do not raise any issues of safety or effectiveness.
