Intended Use

The Venture 0.014" catheters are indicated for directing, steering, controlling, and supporting a guidewire to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral vasculature. The OTW version (Model 5821) may also be used for manual delivery of saline solution or diagnostic contrast agents.

Device Description

The Venture 0.014" catheters are single lumen catheters with a radiopaque deflectable distal tip designed to provide guidewire support during interventional procedures in the coronary and peripheral vasculature. The Venture 0.014" catheters are compatible with 0.014" guidewires and are available in two configurations. The rapid exchange configuration consists of a hypotube shaft with a rapid exchange (RX) lumen and deflectable tip on the distal segment. The over the wire configuration consists of an over-the-wire (OTW) lumen that runs the entire length of the catheter with a deflectable tip. The Venture 0.014" catheter tips are deflectable 90° by rotating a deflection knob on the control handle of the proximal end and a hydrophilic coating on the distal end of the catheter enhances deliverability to the target vasculature. The Venture 0.014" catheters are sterilized with ethylene oxide.

AI/ML Overview

This is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Venture 0.014" Catheter), not an AI/ML device study. Therefore, many of the requested categories for AI/ML device studies are not applicable or cannot be extracted from this document.

However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the device's functional integrity as described in the document.

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

  • The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each bench test. It generically states "The results of the verification tests met the specified acceptance criteria."
  • Data provenance is not explicitly stated, but these are bench tests performed by the manufacturer, Vascular Solutions, LLC. This is not a study on patient data.

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

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML study involving expert ground truth for medical images or clinical outcomes. These are engineering bench tests.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML study involving expert interpretation or adjudication.

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:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.

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

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.

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

  • For the bench tests, the "ground truth" is established by engineering specifications and standards for device performance (e.g., specific force, angle, integrity measurements).
  • For biocompatibility, the ground truth is established by the results of standardized biological tests according to ISO 10993-1.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no training set in the AI sense.

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

  • Not applicable.

Dear Becky Astrup:

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 May 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICES

The Venture 0.014" catheter included in this Special 510(k) submission is a modification of the current Venture Wire Control Catheter. Modifications include a change in distal tip jacket material and, applicable to the OTW configuration only, an additional material processing step for the manufacturing of the liner component and removal of the proximal positioning marks. A comparison of technological differences between the subject and predicate devices is provided below.

PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Performance Testing - Bench

The technological differences between the subject and predicate devices have been evaluated through bench tests to provide evidence that the Venture 0.014" catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The device design was verified through the following tests:

  • Deliver, Deflect, and Retract ●
  • Guidewire Steerability
  • Tip Deflection Angle ●
  • Tip Rebound ●
  • Tip Rotation ●
  • Tip Tensile
  • Surface Defects ●
  • Guidewire Movement
  • Torque Robustness ●
  • Luer to Extension Tensile
  • Extension to Back Handle Tensile ●
  • Liquid Leakage from Fitting ● Assembly under Pressure
  • Static Pressure
  • Coating Lubricity/Durability ●
  • Throw Length ●
  • Particulates ●
  • HPC Fluid Drops ●
  • Therapeutic Agent Conditioning ●
  • Dynamic Pressure ●

The results of the verification tests met the specified acceptance criteria and did not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Biocompatibility Testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the Venture 0.014" catheter was conducted in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The Venture 0.014" catheter is considered an externally communicating device in contact with circulating blood and tissue for a limited period of time (<24 hours) during use. The battery of tests included the following:

  • Cytotoxicity ●

  • Sensitization ●

  • Irritation

  • Material Mediated Pyrogenicity ●

  • Hemolysis ●

  • Complement Activation

  • Acute Systemic Toxicity ●

  • Thrombogenicity
    Passing results from biomaterial tests demonstrate that the Venture 0.014" catheter is noncytotoxic, non-sensitizing, non-irritating, non-systemically toxic, non-hemolytic, not an activator of the complement system, and thromboresistant.

{6}------------------------------------------------

CONCLUSION

The subject Venture 0.014" catheter is substantially equivalent to the Venture Wire Control Catheter predicate devices based on comparisons of the device functionality, technological characteristics, and indications for use. The results of design verification tests do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness; the Venture 0.014" catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
