Device Description

The PMIPIN15 Percutaneous Introducer Needle is a single- use, disposable EO sterilized device made of 304 stainless steel with a luer hub made of polycarbonate. The introducer sheath is 5 Fr and manufactured from low density polyethylene. The device is manually inserted by the physician during endoscopic and/or laparoscopic procedures.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the PMIPIN15 Percutaneous Introducer Needle.

The document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device, which primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a novel device with extensive new clinical performance data. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here are largely derived from the performance and characteristics of the predicate device and relevant international standards.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given that this is a 510(k) submission, the "acceptance criteria" are essentially demonstrating equivalence to the predicate device and compliance with relevant standards. The "device performance" is presented as meeting these standards and being similar to the predicate.

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Acceptance Criterion (Implicitly derived or explicitly stated)Reported Device Performance
BiocompatibilityCompliant with ISO 10993 series for medical devices.Passed Cytotoxicity Test (ISO10993-5), Dermal Sensitization Guinea Pig Maximization Tests (ISO10993-10), Intracutaneous Test (ISO10993-10).
SterilizationValidated for Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization.Passed Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Validation (ISO 11135:2014).
PackagingValidated for package integrity and shelf-life.Passed Package Validation (ASTM 2096-11, ASTM F1186/1886M-16, ASTM F88/F88M-15, ASTM D5276-98).
Physical/Mechanical PerformanceEquivalent to predicate device in design and materials; compliant with ISO 11070:2014(E) for needle and hub strength, force at break, and penetration.Physical measurements and visual inspection confirmed similarity to predicate. Performance evaluation (strength of union, force at break) met ISO 11070:2014(E). Needle penetration testing met ISO 11070:2014(E).
Accelerated Aging/Shelf LifeValidated for shelf life.Passed Accelerated aging testing per ASTM F1980-16. Device "met its design specifications" for a 2-year shelf life.
Design SpecificationsMeet established design specifications (e.g., needle gauge, length, introducer diameter, materials).The device "met its design specifications" and shown to be similar to the predicate for all listed specifications.
Indications for UseSame as predicate."Introducer for Endoscopic/Laparoscopic procedures." - Same as predicate.
SterilityMust be sterile."Yes" (Sterility) - Same as predicate.
Single UseMust be single use."Yes" (Single Use) - Same as predicate.
BiocompatibleMust be biocompatible."Yes" (Biocompatible) - Same as predicate.

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

The document does not provide specific sample sizes for the individual tests (biocompatibility, sterilization, package, mechanical performance). It states "A series of preclinical tests were performed" and refers to ISO and ASTM standards, which would dictate appropriate sample sizes for each test.

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated (implied by compliance with standards).
  • Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical (laboratory-based, material-based). There's no human clinical data presented, so country of origin and retrospective/prospective distinctions are not applicable in the typical sense. Physical measurements and performance evaluations were done on samples of the new device and the predicate device. Needle penetration testing was conducted by an "independent lab."

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

Not applicable. This device's evaluation is based on non-clinical engineering and materials testing, not on interpretation by clinical experts. The "ground truth" for these types of tests comes from the established scientific methods and standards (ISO, ASTM).


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As described above, there is no clinical data or expert interpretation requiring adjudication. Performance is assessed against quantitative standards.


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-powered diagnostic or assistive device. It is a physical percutaneous introducer needle.


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

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" is based on:

  • International Standards: ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), ISO 11135 (sterilization), ISO 11070 (needles), ASTM standards (packaging, shelf-life). These standards define acceptable methodologies and performance thresholds.
  • Predicate Device Characteristics: For comparative aspects (design, materials, indications for use), the characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device (Ranfac Percutaneous Introducer PIN-15, K951090) serve as a de-facto "ground truth" for substantial equivalence.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.


9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Dear David Mullis:

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

{1}------------------------------------------------

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
