Intended Use

INTENDED USE:

The Impella XR Sheath Set is intended to facilitate femoral access to the vascular system.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The Impella XR Sheath Set is intended for use for the percutaneous introduction of the Impella 2.5 Catheter and ancillary devices.

Device Description

The Impella XR Sheath Set is a sterile, single-use, prescription device. The Impella XR Sheath Set consists of an introducer sheath (Impella XR Introducer Sheath) and a tapered sheath dilator (Impella XR Dilator) which is compatible with a 0.035" guidewire. The Impella XR Sheath Set is kitted with a 0.035" access quidewire and a supplemental dilator in the Impella XR Sheath Kit for convenience to help facilitate insertion.

The Impella XR Introducer Sheath consists of a sheath hub with a three-way stop cock and flush port at its proximal end and an expandable sheath body at its distal end. The sheath hub features an introducer cap, hemostasis valve, side-port with three-way stop cock and flush port, a butterfly (suture pad), and connects with the dilator hub. The sheath body has an insertion profile of 10 Fr and expands after removal of the dilator to allow the insertion of the Impella 2.5 catheter. The sheath body also features a hydrophobic coating to aid in the insertion of the introducer sheath.

The Impella XR Dilator consists of a dilator body, a tapered tip at the distal end, and a hub at the proximal end, which connects with the sheath hub.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the Impella XR Sheath Set, a medical device for introducing catheters, and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, the document does NOT contain information about acceptance criteria and study details typical of an AI/ML medical device submission. Specifically, it does not include:

  • A table of acceptance criteria with reported device performance for an AI/ML algorithm.
  • Sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, or details about ground truth establishment by experts for AI/ML performance evaluation.
  • Information on MRMC comparative effectiveness studies or standalone AI algorithm performance.
  • Details regarding training set size or how ground truth was established for a training set (which are relevant to AI/ML devices).

The document is for a traditional catheter introducer device, and the performance testing mentioned (Visual Inspection, Dimensional Verification, Packaging, Sterilization, Shelf Life, Biocompatibility, and a GLP animal study) relates to the physical and biological characteristics of this type of hardware, not to an AI/ML algorithm's diagnostic or predictive performance.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for an AI/ML device based on the given text.

If this were an AI/ML device submission, the requested information would typically be found in dedicated sections describing the clinical validation study, often including sensitivity, specificity, AUC, and other performance metrics against established acceptance criteria, along with detailed methodologies for data collection, expert review, and ground truth generation.

Dear K. Ryder:

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

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

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 (OS) 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). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
