The EZE SIT Valvulotome is intended to render venous valves incompetent during in situ bypass procedures. This includes distal infrainguinal bypass when a non-anatomic position is required (e.g., profunda to anterior tibial artery), composite vein infrainguinal bypass, or aorto-renal bypass procedures.
The EZE SIT Valvulotome is a medical device utilized for disruption of venous valves, and is used in patients that suffer from peripheral vascular disease, for which an attending physician determines the relative benefit of in situ bypass to restore blood flow to the extremities. The EZE-SIT Valvulotome is comprised of a catheter with a luer-lock hub at the proximal end and a threaded connector at the distal end. The catheter is designed with a lumen that extends throughout its entire length. The threaded connector allows attachment of 2 mm, 3 mm and 4 mm diameter cutting heads. These cutting heads are also configured with a central lumen. This design allows the physician to select the cutter head diameter that is best suited for the particular vessel being prepared. The central lumen allows irrigation during the procedure. The cutting head design minimizes vessel wall contact while effectively disrupting valve leaflet tissue. The EZE SIT Valvulotome is surgically invasive and intended for less than 24-hour use. This medical device has no software components. This device is not an in vitro diagnostic device.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the EZE SIT Valvulotome. It asserts substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Tru-Incise Valvulotome K930011).
Crucially, this document states that no performance data, including clinical studies or data demonstrating adherence to acceptance criteria for an AI/algorithm-driven device, were required or provided. The submission is intended "to simply indicate a new manufacturer for a currently cleared device design that has not changed since its clearance (K930011)."
Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets those criteria, as requested in the prompt, are not present in this document. This device does not have software components and is not an in vitro diagnostic device, and thus the type of AI/algorithm performance study envisioned by the prompt is not applicable to this submission.
The document only includes:
- Nonclinical data: Sterilization, Shelf Life/Aging, and Biocompatibility, all of which confirmed substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
- Sterilization: Validated with half-cycle using ISO 11135-1: 2014, achieving a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6. Residuals measured: 0.6 mg EtO, <0.1 mg Ethylene Chlorohydrin (ECH). Endotoxin measured by LAL method.
- Shelf Life/Aging: Extended shelf life to 6 years (from 2.5 years for the predicate) based on accelerated aging.
- Biocompatibility: Passed all tests in the biocompatibility battery, recapitulating tests performed for the predicate device.
In summary, none of the requested information regarding AI/algorithm performance (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes, expert ground truth, MRMC study, standalone performance, training data, etc.) can be extracted from this document, as it pertains to a non-AI/non-software medical device that underwent a 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence without requiring new performance data for design changes.

Dear Xiang Zhang:
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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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

Chemical Composition: All of the components of the EZE SIT Valvulotome remain unchanged from the original device design cleared in K930011.
Energy Source: The EZE SIT Valvulotome is a device that transduces manual force provided by the user into the lysis of valve cusps, thus allowing retrograde blood flow in a vein. EZE SIT uses and provides no other source of energy of electromechanical, radiological or other origin. The aspect of energy source supplied to the medical device remains unchanged from the predicate device cleared in K930011.
Summary: All aspects of the medical device, including the design, materials, chemical composition and energy source of the subject device remain unchanged from the original predicate device cleared in K930011, and thus support substantial equivalence of the subject to the predicate device.
VI. PERFORMANCE DATA
N/A. This submission is intended to simply indicate a new manufacturer for a currently cleared device design that has not changed since its clearance (K930011). This submission includes 3 types of nonclinical data, including Sterilization, Shelf Life/Aging, and Biocompatibility.
Sterilization: The EZE SIT is Ethylene Oxide (EtO) sterilized to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6. Sterilization is validated with half-cycle using ISO 11135-1: 2014. Residuals measured at 48h after sterilization indicate that the device has a maximum of EtO of 0.6 mg, and a maximum of <0.1 mg of Ethylene Chlorohydrin (ECH) (VP-160032). Endotoxin is measured by LAL method.
Shelf Life/Aging studies provided here confirmed the shelf life of 2.5 years as reported for the predicate

device (K930011), but also extended the shelf life to 6 years, all based on accelerated aging. Thus, the Shelf Life/Aging studies support the conclusion of substantial equivalence.
Biocompatibility: Upon acquisition of the right to manufacture the device for sale outside the US market, LeMaitre Vascular performed a biocompatibility battery that recapitulated the same tests as performed for the predicate device cleared in K930011. Like the predicate device, the subject device detailed here passed all tests in the biocompatibility battery, thus supporting substantial equivalence of these devices. None.
LeMaitre Vascular has demonstrated that the EZE SIT Valvulotome is substantially equivalent to the predicate device based on its intended use and fundamental scientific technology, and that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device.
