Intended Use

The ExpanSure™ Large Access Transseptal Dilator is indicated for use in procedures where access to the left atrium via the transseptal technique is desired.

Device Description

The subject ExpanSure™ Large Access Transseptal Dilator represents a modification to the dilator component of the legally marketed ExpanSure™ Transseptal Dilation System (K182064). The modification was for the addition of a metallic marker coil to the dilator distal tip for increased visibility under imaging during procedures.

The subject device is comprised of a dilator (ExpanSure Dilator) and J-tip guidewire, which are single-use and supplied sterile to the user. The ExpanSure Dilator is designed for safe and easy catheterization and angiography of specific heart chambers and locations. The dilator consists of an inner and outer polyethylene layer containing radio-pacifier for visibility under imaging during procedures. The inner and outer shaft layers are separated by a braid material for torqueability. The dilator distal tip includes a metallic marker coil to facilitate visualization under imaging during procedures. The outer surface of the dilator is coated with a silicone lubricant. The ExpanSure Dilator is compatible with 0.032″ and 0.035″ transseptal devices/quidewires and 12.5 Fr introducer sheaths. The J-tip quidewire is comprised of stainless steel.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the ExpanSure™ Large Access Transseptal Dilator (K201288), a medical device. However, it does not describe a software-based medical device or AI system. Therefore, the provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that a device meets acceptance criteria in the context of AI/software performance.

Instead, this document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification summary for a traditional medical device (a vessel dilator). The "acceptance criteria" and "study" described herein refer to non-clinical performance testing (mechanical, physical, pyrogen, biocompatibility, packaging, and sterilization verification) to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not performance against clinical metrics for an AI algorithm.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information in the format of AI/software performance as the input document does not pertain to such a device.

Here's why the provided input doesn't fit the request about AI/software performance:

  • Device Type: The device is a "vessel dilator for percutaneous catheterization," a physical, sterile, single-use medical instrument, not a software system.
  • Performance Testing: The "Performance Testing" section lists mechanical tests, general physical tests, pyrogen testing, benchtop validation (for intended use), biocompatibility, packaging verification, and sterilization verification. These are standard tests for physical medical devices, not for evaluating AI model performance.
  • Substantial Equivalence: The entire submission focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a predicate physical device (K182064) based on shared intended use, technology, and similar materials, with modifications (a metallic marker coil) validated through the non-clinical tests listed.
  • Absence of AI/Software Specifics: There is no mention of algorithms, data sets (training, validation, test), ground truth, expert readers, or performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC, which would be expected for an AI/software device.

Dear May Tsai:

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

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

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's 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 (QS) 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.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

Pyrogen Testing

The subject device is supplied non-pyrogenic. Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) testing was performed using the Kinetic Chromogenic method, as per ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011 and the FDA guidance document, " Guidance for Industry - Pyrogens and Endotoxins Testing: Questions and Answers," to verify the subject device meets current FDA and USP pyrogen limit specifications.

Benchtop Validation

Customer requirements were validated through benchtop validation activities. Benchtop validation testing was performed to validate the performance of the subject device during normal intended use as per current applicable requirements of ISO 11070:2014 and Baylis selfenforced requirements.

In addition, the below evaluations were completed to confirm the subject device meets the following performance requirements:

Biocompatibility Verification

Biological safety was evaluated for the subject device to verify compliance with the current applicable requirements of ISO 10993-1:2009/Cor.1:2010 and the FDA quidance document, Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process."

Packaging Verification

Ship testing was evaluated to verify the integrity of the subject device packaging through the rigors of shipping and handling as well as storage over time. The seal strength and sterile barrier integrity was also evaluated to verify compliance with the current applicable requirements of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11607:2006/(R)2010 (Parts 1 and 2) over the proposed intended shelf life of the subject device.
