II. Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria

The study described is the 510(k) premarket notification process, which involves demonstrating substantial equivalence through a combination of comparative analysis and various performance tests.

  1. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

    • The document mentions "Bench testing, including dimensional evaluation, tensile testing, torque testing, kink resistance testing, packaging testing, tip joint fatigue testing, burst proof testing, high pressure dynamic testing, particulate testing." It states, "All testing was performed on test units representative of finished devices."
    • It also lists "Simulated Use testing" and "In Vivo Testing."
    • Sample Size: The exact sample sizes for each type of testing (bench, simulated use, in vivo) are not specified in the provided text. It only indicates "test units representative of finished devices."
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. Given it's a premarket notification for a new device, the testing would typically be prospective, conducted by the manufacturer or a contract research organization.
  2. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:

    • This section is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission. The "ground truth" here isn't based on expert interpretations of medical images (as would be the case for an AI/CADe device). Instead, the "ground truth" is adherence to engineering specifications and performance comparable to a predicate device, verified through various physical and mechanical tests.
  3. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • Not applicable. There's no human "adjudication" in the sense of consensus reading for medical images. The "adjudication" is achieved through standardized testing protocols (e.g., ASTM, ISO) and comparison of quantitative results to predefined engineering standards or the performance of the predicate device.
  4. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

    • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI/CADe devices where human readers' performance with and without AI assistance is evaluated. This submission is for a physical medical device (catheter) and relies on bench and in-vivo performance testing, not human reading performance.
  5. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not applicable. This pertains to AI/CADe algorithms. The device here is a physical Guiding Catheter.
  6. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • For the Guiding Catheter, the "ground truth" is established through:
      • Engineering Specifications/Standards: The device must meet specific physical and mechanical properties (dimensions, tensile strength, torque, kink resistance, burst pressure, etc.).
      • Predicate Device Performance: The device's performance characteristics are compared against those of the legally marketed predicate device to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
      • Biological Compatibility Standards: Adherence to ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility using in vitro and in vivo models.
      • Simulated Use and In Vivo Testing: Direct measurement of the device's functional performance in environments mimicking its intended use.
  7. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of this device's development and testing as described. Training sets are relevant for machine learning algorithms.
  8. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

    • Not applicable. As there is no training set mentioned, the establishment of ground truth for it is irrelevant to this submission.

In summary, the document demonstrates that the Guiding Catheter meets "acceptance criteria" by proving its substantial equivalence to a predicate device through a comprehensive set of bench tests, simulated use tests, and in vivo tests, all performed on representative finished devices, and ensuring compliance with relevant biocompatibility standards. The framework of this 510(k) submission is to show that the new device is as safe and effective as a previously cleared device, rather than to demonstrate a specific quantitative improvement over a baseline or human performance.
