Device Description

The Penumbra JET 7 with MAX Delivery Device, known as Penumbra JET 7MAX, is an additional configuration being added to the currently available Penumbra System. The MAX Delivery Device is an optional accessory for use with the Penumbra JET 7 Reperfusion Catheter and is removed prior to aspiration. The Reperfusion Catheter Penumbra JET 7 delivers aspiration from the Aspiration Pump directly to the site of occlusion to assist in the removal of thrombus from the neurovasculature. The devices are provided sterile, nonpyrogenic, and intended for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) submission for the Penumbra System® JET™ 7 Reperfusion Catheter with MAX Delivery Device (JET™ 7MAX). The submission primarily relies on non-clinical data (biocompatibility and bench-top testing) and reference to previous animal testing of a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document clearly outlines acceptance criteria and results for Biocompatibility Testing and Design Verification (Bench-Top Testing).

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

  • Test set sample size: Not explicitly stated for each test, but implied to be sufficient for the "Pass" results, particularly for biocompatibility (e.g., "no single animal," "2 or more animals" in acceptance criteria implies a small animal sample). For bench testing, it refers to "the units used in this Design Verification testing." No human subjects were involved in the testing for this specific submission.
  • Data Provenance: The data is non-clinical (biocompatibility and bench testing), conducted by the manufacturer, Penumbra, Inc. The biocompatibility studies were conducted pursuant to 21 CFR, Part 58, Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). The animal testing for the predicate device (Penumbra JET 7) was performed using a "porcine model" (K173761). The document does not specify the country of origin for the data other than the manufacturer being based in Alameda, California, USA. The studies are prospective in the sense of being planned tests to demonstrate compliance.

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

Not applicable. This submission relies on objective physical and chemical testing (biocompatibility, bench testing) and animal study results rather than expert interpretation of patient data to establish ground truth for the device's performance. The ground truth for these tests is based on pre-defined scientific and engineering specifications and established biological responses.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. As the testing involves objective measurement of physical and biological properties against set specifications, expert adjudication (like in clinical trial image reading) is not required.

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 mechanical medical device (catheter system), not an AI/imaging diagnostic device. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance for human readers are not relevant.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/algorithm-based device. Its performance is evaluated through physical, mechanical, and biological testing.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth for this submission is based on:

  • Pre-defined quantitative specifications: For bench-top testing (e.g., minimum bond strength, maximum friction force, particulate counts, dimensional measurements).
  • Biological response criteria: For biocompatibility testing, based on ISO standards (e.g., cytotoxicity grade, irritation difference, systemic toxicity signs, pyrogenicity temperature rise, hemolytic index, statistical similarity to predicate for clotting times and complement activation).
  • Physiological/anatomical models: For simulated use in bench testing and animal models for previous evaluations of the predicate device.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a medical device approval based on non-clinical performance data and substantial equivalence to a predicate, not an AI/ML model trained on a dataset.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML model in this submission.

The "P" is stylized with a horizontal line extending from the left side of the "P" to the edge of the circle. The logo is simple and modern.

The subject Penumbra JET 7 with MAX Delivery Device met all established requirements.

1.10.1 Biocompatibility Testing

Biocompatibility was conducted on the subject Penumbra JET 7 with MAX Delivery Device. The studies were selected in accordance with ISO 10993-1 guidelines (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices) for a limited exposure (< 24 hours), externally communicating device with circulating blood contact. All studies were conducted pursuant to 21 CFR, Part 58, Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Reperfusion Catheter testing was previously performed on the predicate Penumbra JET 7 [K190010]; therefore, the scope of the testing (in the table below) was only performed on the MAX Delivery Device.

Image /page/11/Picture/1 description: The image shows the word "Penumbra" in a red, sans-serif font. To the right of the word is a red circle with a white "P" inside. The logo is simple and modern, with the wordmark and symbol working together to create a recognizable brand identity. The red color is bold and eye-catching, while the white "P" provides contrast and visual interest.

1.10.3 Design Validation - Animal Study

The safety and efficacy of the reference device, Penumbra JET 7 Reperfusion Catheter (Penumbra JET 7) was evaluated in the accepted porcine model [K173761]. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the aspiration vascular response of the reference device Penumbra JET 7. The subject Penumbra JET 7 with MAX Delivery Device consists of a Penumbra JET 7 Reperfusion Catheter and optional catheter accessory, which is removed from the Reperfusion Catheter prior to aspiration. The subject, Penumbra JET 7 with MAX Delivery Device, Reperfusion Catheter dimensions are identical to that of the reference device Penumbra JET 7. As a result, no additional animal testing was required.

1.11 Performance Data – Clinical:

No clinical study was conducted as bench and previously performed animal testing was determined sufficient for verification and validation purposes. A review was conducted considering published clinical study articles for devices with similar dimensions used for direct aspiration. The literature review was used to support the determination of substantial equivalence by using clinical outcomes from devices that are considered technologically equivalent.

1.12 Summary of Substantial Equivalence

The Penumbra JET 7 with MAX Delivery Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices, provided in Section 1.6, with regard to indications, intended use, design, performance, materials, sterilization and packaging.
