014: The ViperCross™ Support Catheter is a single lumen catheter designed for use in the peripheral and/or coronary vasculature. The ViperCross™ Support Catheter provides guidewire support during interventional procedures and allows for the exchange of one distally located guidewire for another while maintaining access to distal vasculature. The ViperCross™ Support Catheters have a hydrophilic coating on the distal 90cm or 70cm dependent on model length to enhance deliverability to the target vasculature.
The ViperCross™ Support Catheters have a single radiopaque marker band located 0.040" / 1.02mm from the distal tip. The catheters have white positioning marks located at 100cm and 110cm from the distal tip. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a strain relief and a luer-lock adapter for flushing.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document does not specify the sample size for individual tests. It also does not explicitly state the provenance of the test data (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective). The testing appears to be primarily bench testing and materials characterization rather than clinical studies with patient data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This information is not applicable and not provided in the document as the testing described is not clinical and does not involve establishing ground truth from expert interpretations.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
This information is not applicable and not provided in the document, as no human adjudication is mentioned for the described performance testing.
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:
This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. The device is a physical medical device (ViperCross Support Catheters), not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and therefore MRMC studies are not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This information is not applicable and not provided in the document, as the device is not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
For the performance testing mentioned, the "ground truth" would be established by engineering specifications, recognized industry standards (e.g., ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility), and established test methodologies designed to assess the physical and mechanical properties of the device.
8. The sample size for the training set:
This information is not applicable and not provided in the document, as this is a physical medical device and does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This information is not applicable and not provided in the document, as this is a physical medical device and does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.

Dear Jonathan Holmes:
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 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
