Intended Use

Phenom™ Catheters are intended for the introduction of interventional devices or diagnostic agents into the neuro, peripheral, and coronary vasculatures.

Device Description

The Phenom™ Catheters are variable stiffness, single lumen catheters designed to access small, tortuous vasculature. They are available in a variety of lengths, stiffness and inner and outer diameters. The outer surface of the catheter is coated to enhance navigation in the vessel. The Phenom™ 17, 21, and 27 Catheters have a hydrophilic coating that spans the distal 100cm. The Phenom™ Plus Catheters have a hydrophilic coating that spans the distal 90cm. The catheter also incorporates a liner to facilitate movement of introduction devices passing through its lumen. The distal tip has radiopaque marker(s) to aid visualization and positioning under fluoroscopy. The Phenom™ Catheter is packaged with a shaping mandrel and may be accompanied with a split introducer sheath.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the regulatory clearance for the "Phenom Catheters" and includes performance data from bench testing. However, it does not describe any study involving AI, human readers, or the establishment of ground truth for such a study. Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for information related to AI or human-in-the-loop performance.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical bench testing. There is no mention of acceptance criteria or performance metrics in the context of an AI-based device, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) study, or standalone algorithm performance.

Here's a breakdown of the information that is present in the document, framed against your request:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document provides a table of "Tests" with "Test Method Summary" and "Results." The "Results" column implicitly indicates that the acceptance criteria were met for each test, as it states "The Phenom™ Catheters met the acceptance criteria for..." or "acceptable friction force," "compatible for use," etc.

Regarding the other points of your request, the document does not provide this information because it's for a medical device (catheter) and not an AI-based system:

  • 2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The testing described is bench testing of physical devices, not a test set of data.
  • 3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for data interpretation is not relevant for this type of device submission.
  • 4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
  • 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 device is not an AI system.
  • 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm.
  • 7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable. The "ground truth" for the catheter is its ability to perform according to engineering specifications and biocompatibility standards.
  • 8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI model requiring a training set.
  • 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

In summary, the provided document details the regulatory clearance of a physical medical device (catheter) based on non-clinical performance and biocompatibility testing, not an AI software/device.

Performance Data - Animal:

No animal testing was conducted. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing using wellestablished acceptable scientific methods.

Performance Data - Clinical:

No clinical testing was conducted. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing using wellestablished acceptable scientific methods.

Conclusion:

There is no change to the Intended Use for the Phenom™ Catheters in comparison to the legally marketed predicate device. In addition, the differences in technological characteristics do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing using well-established acceptable scientific methods. The information provided in this submission supports a determination of substantial equivalence for the Phenom™ Catheters.
