Intended Use

The PG Pro microcatheter is intended for the peripheral vasculature for the infusion of diagnostic and therapeutic agents.

Device Description

The PG Pro Microcatheter is a single lumen catheter designed to be introduced over a steerable guidewire to access small, tortuous vasculature. The semi-rigid proximal section transitions to a flexible distal tip to facilitate advancement through vessels. Dual radiopaque markers at the distal end facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The outer surface of the catheter is coated with a hydrophilic polymer to increase lubricity. A luer fitting on the catheter hub is used for the attachment of accessories.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is for a 510(k) premarket notification for the "PG Pro Microcatheter". This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving a device meets specific performance acceptance criteria for an AI/ML type of medical device through a clinical study.

Therefore, the text does not contain the information requested regarding:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI/ML device.
  2. Sample size and data provenance for a test set.
  3. Number of experts and their qualifications for ground truth establishment.
  4. Adjudication method for a test set.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study results.
  6. Standalone performance of an algorithm.
  7. Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data).
  8. Sample size for a training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

Instead, the document describes:

  • Device Description: The PG Pro Microcatheter is a single lumen catheter designed for introducing over a guidewire to access small, tortuous vasculature for infusing diagnostic and therapeutic agents in the peripheral vasculature.
  • Predicate Device: Headway 27 Microcatheter (K142449). A reference device (Headway 17 Microcatheter, K101542) is also listed.
  • Comparisons: The document includes a detailed "TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON TABLE" (Table 1) comparing the PG Pro Microcatheter to its predicate and reference devices across properties like Indications For Use, Principle of Operation, Material(s), Proximal ID/OD, Distal ID/OD, Number of Marker bands, Coating, Effective Length, Tip Configuration, Guidewire Compatibility, Method of Supply, and Accessories. The table highlights differences such as the PG Pro being intended only for peripheral vasculature, using a Tungsten coil vs. stainless steel, having a different range of effective lengths, being straight configuration only, being compatible with larger guidewires, and not including a shaping mandrel.
  • Performance Data (Non-Clinical):
    • Biocompatibility testing: Conducted according to ISO10993-1, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, and hemocompatibility, as it is considered a limited (<24 hour) circulating blood contacting device.
    • Bench testing: A comprehensive list of tests was performed, including surface contamination, physical attributes, force at break, leakage (liquid, air), static and dynamic burst, durability and lubricity of hydrophilic coating, simulated use in flow model, catheter flow rate, kink resistance, stiffness, flexural fatigue, particulate testing, catheter dead space, torque strength, hub testing, corrosion testing, and radio detectability.
    • Animal Study: An acute large animal study was conducted with n=3 animals. The study assessed the device's safety profile, compatibility with therapeutic agents, and tissue response, concluding that the PG Pro Microcatheter performed similarly to the predicate device (Headway 27 Microcatheter).
  • Conclusion: The PG Pro Microcatheter is considered substantially equivalent to the identified predicate based on performance, intended use, design, materials, principle of operation, and overall technological characteristics. The nonclinical data, verification, and validation testing support this conclusion and demonstrate the device should perform as intended.

In summary, this document is a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device (microcatheter) and relies on benchmarking against a predicate device, along with non-clinical (bench and animal) testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence, not the evaluation of an AI algorithm against specific performance criteria.

Dear Mr. Balachandar:

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.
