(170 days)
To measure pressure in blood vessels including both coronary and peripheral vessels, during diagnostic angiography and/or other any interventional procedures. Blood pressure measurements provide hemodynamic information, such as fractional flow reserve, for the diagnosis and treatment of blood vessel disease.
The proposed OptoWire III is a new version of the OptoWire Deux that includes changes to strengthen the robustness of the product. Additional changes have been made to improve manufacturability. Changes include a reduction in tip length and coil gap, changes in the tube inner and outer configuration, and a minor material change in the PTFE coating.
The Opsens OptoWire III is used in conjunction with the Opsens OptoMonitor and Accessories, the "OptoMonitor System" consisting of an electronic signal processing and display units (OptoMonitor) that process signals received from the OptoWire to display intravascular blood pressure and hemodynamic information, such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) values, and various connection cables.
The OptoWire III consists of the following items:
- OptoWire assembly (quidewire) including the pressure sensor sub-assembly
- Fiber Optic Interface Cable (FOIC)
- Packaging including tray, Torque Device, pouch and box
- Labelling including labels and printed IFU
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the OptoWire III. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (OptoWire Deux) rather than proving the device meets acceptance criteria from a clinical study with specific performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy compared to a ground truth.
Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria for a diagnostic study, sample sizes for training/test sets, expert qualifications, and adjudication methods is not present in this regulatory submission. The document emphasizes engineering and bench testing to demonstrate that changes made to the OptoWire III do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to its predicate.
Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not present a table of specific acceptance criteria (e.g., target sensitivity, specificity) with corresponding reported device performance for a diagnostic task. Instead, it compares the technological characteristics and performance of the proposed device (OptoWire III) to its predicate device (OptoWire Deux) to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
The "Performance Data" section describes various design verification tests, biocompatibility tests, and animal studies to ensure the OptoWire III functions as intended and is safe. Key performance aspects like Pressure Accuracy and Thermal Zero Shift for the pressure sensor are explicitly stated and are identical to the predicate:
| Acceptance Criteria (Predicate) | Reported Device Performance (Proposed Device) |
|---|---|
| +/- 1 mmHg plus +/-1% of reading (pressure range -30 to 50 mmHg) or +/- 3% of reading (pressure range 50 to 300 mmHg) | +/- 1 mmHg plus +/-1% of reading (pressure range -30 to 50 mmHg) or +/- 3% of reading (pressure range 50 to 300 mmHg) |
| <0.3 mmHg/deg C | <0.3 mmHg/deg C |
| <1mmHg/h | <1mmHg/h |
Other performance characteristics evaluated in animal studies were assessed qualitatively against the predicate:
| Performance Aspect | Reported Device Performance (OptoWire III vs. OptoWire Deux) |
|---|---|
| Guidewire atraumaticity | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Tip flexibility | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Guidewire flexibility | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Trackability | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Steerability | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Torquability | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Pushability | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Catheter compatibility | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Restriction | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Support (deliverability) | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Stent compatibility | Obtained a 'workhorse' score for most parameters evaluated. |
| Radiopacity and pressure waveform | Demonstrated similar performance as the control (OptoWire Deux). |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document mentions an animal study for performance testing:
- Sample Size for Test Set: 1 female pig (Sus scrofa – Hybrid farm pigs), with one spare animal not used.
- Data Provenance: The study was conducted on an animal model, not human data. The specific country of origin is not stated, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA. The study was conducted prospectively as part of the device verification.
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)
Not applicable to this type of submission. Ground truth for diagnostic accuracy (e.g., FFR values from the device vs. a gold standard) is not explicitly established by independent expert review in this context. The animal study focused on functional performance and comparison to a known safe and effective predicate.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. The animal study described qualitative assessments of guidewire performance characteristics compared to a control device, not a diagnostic decision requiring 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 device is a pressure guidewire, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool for interpretation by human readers. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance improvement analysis was performed or is relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. The OptoWire III is a physical medical device (guidewire with a sensor) that measures pressure. It is not an algorithm, and thus standalone algorithm performance is not relevant. Its functionality is linked to the OptoMonitor System.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the pressure measurement capability, the "ground truth" is typically the physical principles of pressure measurement and calibration against known pressure standards. The document states "Simultaneous acquisition of 2 pressure values: distal pressure from sensor embedded in OptoWire; aortic pressure from external pressure transducer" for FFR determination, implying a comparison against an external reference for aortic pressure, but not a separate "ground truth" derived from expert consensus or pathology in a diagnostic sense. For the animal study, the ground truth was the observable performance of the device in a living system, judged comparatively against the predicate.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a medical device approval, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI algorithm.

COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE 6. DEVICE
The proposed OptoWire III is substantially equivalent to the OptoWire Deux pressure quidewire cleared in K152991 on Feb 11, 2016.
The proposed OptoWire III is a new version of the pressure quidewire that includes design changes from OptoWire Deux to OptoWire III (also referred to as OptoWire San (OW San)) is to strengthen the robustness of the wire. Additional changes were simultaneously implemented to optimize the manufacturing process. The proposed device and the predicate device are considered catheter quide wires and pressure transducer tips which are coded as DQX & DXO.
Indications for Use for the OptoWire III are exactly the same as the predicate device indications (K152991 on Feb 11, 2016).
The technological characteristics of the proposed OptoWire III include a reduction in tip length and coil gap, changes in the tube inner and outer configuration, and a minor material change in the PTFE coating. The changes have been evaluated through the Risk Management Process and no new questions of safety and effectiveness were identified. Existing questions of safety and effectiveness are valid for the proposed device. Any change raises a question concerning whether its performance can be expected to be equivalent with the predicate. Performance testing has confirmed equivalence. No new questions of safety and effectiveness were identified during the execution of Verification and Validation activities.
Therefore, the proposed device, OptoWire III, meets substantial equivalence requirements with regards to the leqally marketed predicate OptoWire Deux (K152991 cleared on Feb 11, 2016).
For detailed comparison, refer to the Substantial Equivalence table on the following pages.

PERFORMANCE DATA 7.
Risk Based Approach
The Risk Management Report was prepared to document the evaluations and decisions made as well as necessary safety measures in the design and the manufacturing of the OptoWire III. Many of the risks are mitigated by design, labels, sterilization, packaging, and shelf life, and biocompatibility.
Since the OptoWire III is the third generation of the OptoWire device, the risk management process has leveraged the activities of previous generation OptoWire Deux device risk management process activities. The risk Management Report addresses the differences between the predicate/proposed device and specifically consider the impact of these changes including their intent as an improvement.
{7}------------------------------------------------
The risks related to all applicable hazards which were identified for the OptoWire III have been reduced to the acceptable level by mitiqation. The OptoWire III is shown to be at least as safe and effective as the predicate device and the inherent risks are believed to be overcome by the benefits of the device use as indicated. Therefore, all residual risks post-mitigation have been deemed acceptable for this design.
Sterilization, Packaging, Shelf life Testing:
The following standards are utilized to show equivalence of Sterilization, Packaging, and Shelf life:
- . ISO 11135-1 (2014) Sterilization of health-care products - ethylene oxide - requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. (Sterility)
- . ISO 11607-1 Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - part 1: requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems [including: amendment 1 (2014)]. (Sterility)
- . ASTM F1980-07 (Reapproved 2011), standard guide for accelerated aging of sterile barrier systems for medical devices. (Sterility)
Biocompatibility testing:
The biocompatibility evaluation was conducted in accordance with the FDA quidance Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" (Attachment A) published June 16, 2016. This device is cateqorized in ISO 10993-1:2018 as "External communicating device – circulating blood" per section 5.2.3 c). The device will have limited exposure, a cumulative sum of single, multiple or repeated duration of contact up to 24 h. Testing completed on this device includes:
- Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization
- . Intracutaneous reactivity
- . Systemic toxicity (acute)
- . Hemocompatibility
- . Pyrogenicity (rabbit test)
- . SC5b-9 complement
- . Partial Tromboplastin Time
Design Verification Pre-Conditioning:
The OptoWire III devices were exposed to EtO and Simulated Distribution prior to the execution of testing as pre-conditioning. Additionally, testing with the indicator "T1" was completed on devices subjected to accelerated aging the equivalent of 1 year ("TO" = no aqing).
Design Verification:
Testing was conducted based on requirements of the latest FDA quidance document on quidewires: FDA Draft Guidance Coronary, Peripheral, and Neurovascular Guidewire, dated June 15, 2018. All Design Requirements were verified for the OptoWire III.
Design Specification Verification and ISO 11070 Compliance were completed by documentation check and therefore did not use any OptoWire III product.
{8}------------------------------------------------
The Fiber Optic Interface Cable and Sensor are tested at a component level as some verification items are difficult or not possible to assess once the components are built into the OptoWire III.
The Design Check and Functional testing are performed on finished devices with pre-conditioning. Since the design check consists of physical measurements and inspections, the test is only completed on unaged products. The Functional testing is completed on both unaged (TO) and aged (T1) products.
Mechanical Performance testing are performed on finished devices with pre-conditioning as specified in the protocols. Certain tests that relate to improvements from the OptoWire Deux also include a comparison to the predicate device (without any pre-conditioning). These tests include: Mechanical tests for Tip Flexibility, Tensile Strength, Torquability, Catheter Compatibility, Kink Resistance test, Bending test, Coating Pushability. The Mechanical testing is completed on both unaged (T0) and aged (T1) products.
No new questions of safety and effectiveness were identified during review of Risk Management documentation or execution of Verification and Validation activities.
Animal studies:
Animal performance testing was completed to validate device functionality. The animal model was a porcine model (Sus scrofa – Hybrid farm pigs). A non-atherosclerotic swine model was chosen because the model has been used extensively for angiographic/pressure studies, resulting in a large volume of data on its vascular response and correlation to humans. The study included 1 female pig and one spare animal that was not used.
The performance of the Optwire III was compared to the Optowire Deux in the LCx, LAD and LAD side branches. The evaluation consisted of tests to confirm compatibility with coronary arteries by examining the following criteria:
-
- Guidewire atraumaticity
- . Tip flexibility
- Guidewire flexibility
-
- Trackability
- Steerability
- . Torquability
Pushability
-
- Catheter compatibility
- . Restriction
- . Support (deliverability)
-
- Stent compatibility
-
- Radiopacity and pressure waveform
Results were recorded as less than average, average, greater than average, and "workhorse". The OptoWire III obtained a 'workhorse' score for most of the parameters evaluated and demonstrated a similar performance as the control, OptoWire Deux, for the pressure waveform and radiopactity. It can be concluded based on the results that the OptoWire III is substantially equivalent to the control.
{9}------------------------------------------------
CONCLUSIONS 8.
The results from these tests mentioned above demonstrate that the technological and performance characteristics of the proposed OptoWire III is comparable to the predicate device, support the safety and effectiveness of the device that is the subject of this 510(k), and ensure the subject device can perform in a manner equivalent to the predicate device with the same intended use.
The results of the verification/validation tests and the risk analysis have demonstrated that the OptoWire III does not raise any new questions of safety and is therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate OptoWire Deux (K152991 on Feb 11, 2016).
