The Dornier MINNOW Ureteral catheter is indicated for access and catheterization of the urinary tract, including the following applications: Delivery of contrast media Drainage of fluids from the urinary tract Delivery of irrigation fluids to the urinary tract Navigation of a tortuous ureter Access, advancement, or exchange of wire quides
The target population is for adults only (at least 22 years old).
The MINNOW Ureteral Catheter is a sterile single lumen medical grade thermoplastic elastomer (Pebax®) catheter. It is designed to assist in access to the upper urinary tract using standard endoscopic technique for drainage and delivery of gels or fluids. The device is offered without side holes and is available in 5 and 6 Fr. Sizes, which are common to the industry. The catheter is indicated for use by physicians for facilitating access to the urinary tract through a retrograde route and may be used in conjunction with a quidewire or for the injection of gels or fluids into the urinary tract. The catheter tip is radiused and has a .041" ID that allows for a smooth transition and passage when placed over a guidewire of up to 0.038" inches in diameter that is pre-positioned through the urological tract. The MINNOW Ureteral Catheters are packaged with a standard Touhy-Borst adapter that allows for injection or aspiration of fluids, but removable to allow for scope exchange without having to remove the catheter. The MINNOW Ureteral Catheters are available in 5 and 6 French (Fr) diameter, with a catheter length of 70 centimeters (cm).
This document describes a 510(k) submission for the Dornier MINNOW Ureteral Catheter, aiming to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The information provided outlines the performance testing conducted to support this claim, rather than a clinical study evaluating the device's diagnostic performance or effectiveness in a "with AI vs without AI" scenario.
Therefore, many of the requested categories regarding acceptance criteria, study details, human reader performance, ground truth, and training sets are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission, as it focuses on demonstrating equivalence through engineering and biocompatibility testing for a physical medical device, not a diagnostic AI system.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing the applicable points and indicating when information is not relevant to this type of device and submission:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly provide a table of acceptance criteria with specific numerical targets and matching reported performance values. Instead, it lists the types of tests performed and states that "All testing was found to be acceptable and substantially equivalent to those of the predicate device."
| Test Category | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Sterility | Found to be acceptable and substantially equivalent to predicate device. |
| Packaging | Found to be acceptable and substantially equivalent to predicate device. |
| Biocompatibility | Found to be acceptable and substantially equivalent to predicate device. |
| Radiopacity | Found to be acceptable and substantially equivalent to predicate device. |
| Effective Working Length | Found to be acceptable and substantially equivalent to predicate device. |
| Catheter Shaft ID | Found to be acceptable and substantially equivalent to predicate device. |
| Catheter Tensile Strength | Found to be acceptable and substantially equivalent to predicate device. |
| Catheter Stiffness | Found to be acceptable and substantially equivalent to predicate device. |
Note: Specific numerical acceptance criteria and performance values are not detailed in this summary. The "acceptable" status implies compliance with relevant standards and/or equivalence to the predicate device's performance within acceptable ranges.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not provided in the document. The testing described (sterility, biocompatibility, mechanical properties) would typically involve specific sample sizes for each test according to established standards. Data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) is not applicable, as this is laboratory testing of a manufactured physical device.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This information is not applicable. For this type of physical medical device (catheter), "ground truth" as it pertains to expert consensus on diagnostic images or clinical outcomes is not relevant. The "ground truth" for the performance tests would be defined by the specifications and standards for each physical or chemical property being measured. Expert involvement for physical/chemical testing is usually in the form of qualified laboratory personnel conducting the tests and engineers/scientists reviewing the results against specifications.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies involving human interpretation or subjective assessments, often for diagnostic devices. The testing described here involves objective physical and chemical property measurements.
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
No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging AI devices where human performance with and without AI assistance is being evaluated. The Dornier MINNOW Ureteral Catheter is a physical medical device (catheter) for access and fluid management in the urinary tract, not a diagnostic AI system.
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 ureteral catheter, not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the physical and material integrity tests conducted (Sterility, Packaging, Biocompatibility, Radiopacity, Effective Working Length, Catheter Shaft ID, Catheter Tensile Strength, Catheter Stiffness), the "ground truth" is defined by established engineering specifications, material standards (e.g., USP Class VI for biocompatibility), and relevant ISO/ASTM testing standards. There is no "expert consensus," "pathology," or "outcomes data" in the traditional sense for these types of tests in this context. The aim is to meet predefined technical requirements and demonstrate equivalence to the predicate device's performance.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable. The Dornier MINNOW Ureteral Catheter is a physical medical device, not an AI model or software algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable. As stated above, this device does not involve a training set.
