Intended Use
  1. The Trevo Retriever is indicated for use to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke to reduce disability in patients with a persistent, proximal anterior circulation, large vessel occlusion, and smaller core infarcts who have first received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA). Endovascular therapy with the device should start within 6 hours of symptom onset.
  2. The Trevo Retriever is intended to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus in patients experiencing ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.
  3. The Trevo Retriever is indicated for use to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke to reduce disability in patients with a persistent, proximal anterior circulation, large vessel occlusion of the internal carotid artely (ICA) or middle cerebral artely (MCA)-Ml segments with smaller core infarcts (0-50 cc for age < 80 years, 0-20 cc for age ≥ 80 years). Endovascular therapy with the device should start within 6-24 hours of time last seen well in patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy.
Device Description

The Trevo Retriever consists of a flexible, tapered core wire with a shaped section at the distal end. Platinum markers at the distal end allow fluoroscopic visualization. In addition, the shaped section is also radiopaque. Retriever dimensions are indicated on product label. The Retriever delivery wire has a hydrophilic coating on the distal 101cm length to reduce friction during use. The Retriever has a shaft marker to indicate proximity of Retriever tip relative to Microcatheter tip. A Torque Device is provided with the Retriever to facilitate manipulation and retrieval. The Retriever comes preloaded in an insertion tool to introduce the Retriever into a Microcatheter.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly mentioned for each specific performance test. The design validation states "All Users observed that the Trevo NXT ProVue Retrievers successfully met all the design attribute evaluations...". For biocompatibility, standard ISO tests were performed, which usually involve specific numbers of samples or animals as per the standard.
  • Data Provenance: The studies are non-clinical (bench testing and in vitro simulated-use studies) and biocompatibility tests. They are not clinical studies involving human patient data, so concepts like country of origin or retrospective/prospective are not applicable in this context. The simulated-use studies were conducted internally for device verification and validation.

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

  • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated. The design validation study mentions "Users evaluated the device in a simulated use tortuous anatomical model". It doesn't specify if these "Users" are experts in establishing ground truth, nor their number or qualifications as one would typically see in a clinical study where expert consensus might establish ground truth for a diagnostic device. In this context of a mechanical device, performance is evaluated against defined physical and functional criteria rather than expert interpretation.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

  • Not applicable as this is a device performance study focusing on physical and functional attributes, not a study requiring adjudication of clinical outcomes or interpretations.

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 a non-clinical evaluation of a mechanical thrombectomy device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or decision support system.

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

  • Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • For performance testing, the "ground truth" (or reference standard) is based on defined engineering specifications, industry standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM), and predetermined functional requirements. For example, a successful test means the device's dimension falls within a specified range, or it withstands a certain force, or it shows no damage after simulated use.
  • For biocompatibility testing, the ground truth is established by the criteria outlined in recognized international standards (ISO 10993-x), which define acceptable biological responses (e.g., hemolysis ≤ 5%, not a sensitizer).

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This is a non-clinical evaluation of a mechanical thrombectomy device, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.

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

  • Not applicable.

Performance Data – Non-Clinical

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Performance Testing:

To confirm that the performance of the Subject device, Trevo NXT ProVue Retriever, is substantially equivalent to the performance of the Primary Predicate, device verification and validation testing was conducted on those aspects of the devices that could be affected by the differences between the Primary Predicate device and the Subject device.

Validation:

In accordance with FDA's guidance, "Pre-Clinical and Clinical Studies for Neurothrombectomy Devices," issued June 18, 2007, an in vitro Simulated-use study was completed to assess the usability of the subject device, Trevo NXT ProVue Retriever. Users evaluated the device in a simulated use tortuous anatomical model under simulated clinical conditions per the proposed Directions for Use (DFU).

All Users observed that the Trevo NXT ProVue Retrievers successfully met all the design attribute evaluations defined in the Trevo NXT ProVue Retriever design validation protocol, when utilized in simulated use tortuous anatomy. There were no additional risks identified by the Users. All Trevo NXT ProVue Retrievers used in testing adequately met the customer needs defined in internal documentation.

Leveraged Non-Clinical Data:

Data supporting the performance characteristics that were not impacted by the proposed modifications were leveraged from the Primary Predicate device. Previous data remains valid as there are no changes to the design / geometry of the shaped section associated with the proposed modifications for the Trevo NXT ProVue Retrievers. As there are no changes to the design of the shaped section, the following tests and associated data were leveraged as listed below:

  • Dimensional Verification ●
  • Retriever Shape Section Radial Force ●
  • Retriever Torque/Tensile Durability
  • Retriever Mid Joint Tensile Strength ●
  • Retriever Tip Tensile Strength
  • Retriever Wire Joint Tensile Strength
  • . Retriever Wire and Joint Durability
  • Simulated Use ●

Non-Clinical Data:

In accordance with FDA's guidance, "Pre-Clinical and Clinical Studies for

Neurothrombectomy Devices," issued June 18, 2007, additional design verification and validation testing conducted on the Trevo NXT ProVue Retriever demonstrates that it performs as designed and is suitable for its intended use. The test results are appropriate to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the Primary Predicate device.
