Intended Use

The Riptide™ Aspiration System is intended for use in the revascularization of patients with acute iscoke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (within the internal carotid, middle cerebral - M1 and M2 segments, basilar, and vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.

Device Description

The React™ 71 Catheter is a single lumen, flexible, variable stiffness composite catheter with a nitinol structure that is jacketed with a durable polymer outer layer. A lubricious, polytetrafluoroethylene and Engage liner is used to create a structure that has both proximal stiffness and distal flexibility. The React™ 71 Catheter is also designed with an encapsulated radiopaque distal platinum-iridium markerband which is used for visualization under fluoroscopy. The React™ 71 Catheter is introduced into the vasculature through the split y-introducer sheath.

The proximal end of the React™ 71 Catheter is designed with a thermoplastic elastomer strain relief and a clear hub. The distal end of the React™ 71 Catheter is designed with a hydrophilic coating. The React™ 71 Catheter is navigated to the intended treatment site and positioned proximal to the site of occlusion.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document does not explicitly state sample sizes for each bench or animal study. It mentions a "canine model" for the thrombogenicity test and a "porcine model" for the animal performance data. Specific numbers of animals or test articles used in these studies are not provided.

The data provenance is non-clinical bench and animal testing. There is no mention of human subject data. Therefore, it is entirely retrospective or prospective non-clinical data performed in a laboratory/animal setting. The country of origin of the data is not specified, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA, suggesting the studies were conducted to meet U.S. regulatory standards.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:

This information is not applicable as the studies are entirely non-clinical (bench and animal testing). The "ground truth" is based on the objective measurements and observations from the physical and biological tests conducted according to established standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, USP).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

This information is not applicable as the studies are entirely non-clinical. Adjudication typically refers to expert consensus or review in clinical studies.

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. The device is a physical medical device (catheter), not an AI software. The studies described are non-clinical bench and animal tests, not an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers or AI assistance.

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

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The type of ground truth used:

The ground truth used for the non-clinical studies is based on:

  • Objective Measurements: Such as dimensional measurements, pressure readings, flow rates, tensile strength, Luer standards, etc.
  • Standardized Test Methods: Adherence to established international (ISO) and national (ASTM, USP, ANSI/AAMI) standards for evaluating materials, sterility, packaging, and performance.
  • Biological Endpoints: In animal models, these include observations for systemic toxicity, sensitization, irritation, pyrogenicity, and direct measurement of thrombogenic potential.
  • Visual Inspection and Functional Assessment: E.g., for coating integrity, recanalization, lumen patency, and usability by trained personnel.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

This information is not applicable. This is a submission for a physical medical device. The concepts of "training set" and "testing set" are primarily relevant to machine learning and AI, which are not involved here. The non-clinical studies evaluate the device's inherent physical and biological properties.

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

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as #8.
