Intended Use

Penumbra Reperfusion Catheters and Separators

As part of the Penumbra System, the Reperfusion Catheters and Separators are indicated for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (within the internal carotid, middle cerebral - M1 and M2 segments, basilar, and vertebral arteries) within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.

Penumbra 3D Revascularization Device

As part of the Penumbra System, the Penumbra 3D Revascularization Device is indicated for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease (within the internal carotid, middle cerebral - M1 and M2 segments) within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.

Penumbra Aspiration Tubing

As part of the Penumbra System, the Penumbra Sterile Aspiration Tubing is indicated to connect the Penumbra Reperfusion Catheters to the Penumbra Aspiration Pump.

Penumbra Aspiration Pump

The Penumbra Aspiration Pump is indicated as a vacuum source for Penumbra Aspiration Systems.

Device Description

The Penumbra System® is comprised of the following devices:

  • Penumbra Reperfusion Catheter
  • Penumbra Aspiration Pump
  • Penumbra Aspiration Pump/Canister Tubing
  • Penumbra Aspiration Tubing
  • Penumbra Separator
  • Penumbra 3D Revascularization Device

The Penumbra System is designed to remove thrombus from the vasculature using continuous aspiration. The Reperfusion Catheter targets aspiration from the pump directly to the thrombus. The 3D Revascularization Device is used with Reperfusion Catheters to facilitate aspiration and removal of the thrombus when needed. The Separator may be used to clear the lumen of the Reperfusion Catheter should it become blocked with thrombus. The use of the Separator may not be necessary when using a Reperfusion Catheter with an ID of 0.054 in. or larger. The Reperfusion Catheter is introduced through a guide catheter or long femoral sheath and into the intracranial vasculature and guided over a neurovascular guidewire to the site of the primary occlusion. The Penumbra Reperfusion Catheter is used with the Aspiration Pump to aspirate thrombus from an occluded vessel. As needed, a Penumbra Separator may be deployed from the Reperfusion Catheter to assist with thrombus removal. The Penumbra Separator is advanced and retracted through the Penumbra Reperfusion Catheter at the proximal margin of the primary occlusion to facilitate clearing of the thrombus from the Reperfusion Catheter tip. For the aspiration source, the Penumbra Reperfusion Catheter is used in conjunction with the Aspiration Pump, which is connected using the Penumbra Aspiration Tubing and the Penumbra Pump/Canister Tubing. The Penumbra Reperfusion Catheter is provided with a steam shaping mandrel and rotating hemostasis valve, and a peelable sheath. The Penumbra 3D Revascularization Device is provided with an introducer sheath. The Penumbra Separator is provided with an introducer and torque device. The Penumbra Reperfusion Catheters, 3D Revascularization Device and Separators are visible under fluoroscopy.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the acceptance criteria and study proving the performance of the Penumbra System® (Reperfusion Catheter RED™ 72). It is a 510(k) summary, indicating that the device is being cleared based on substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than requiring a full premarket approval (PMA) with extensive clinical trials.

It's important to note that because this is a 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence to an existing device (the Penumbra System (Reperfusion Catheter JET 7)), the studies primarily focus on engineering and biocompatibility performance data against established requirements, rather than clinical efficacy studies often seen with novel AI devices. There are no AI/ML components described in this document, thus the requested information regarding MRMC studies, standalone AI performance, human expert ground truth for imaging, and training/test set sample sizes for AI models are not applicable.

Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details provided:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document provides a series of design verification tests and biocompatibility tests. The acceptance criteria for each test are stated, and the conclusion is consistently that the "Acceptance Criteria Met" or "Pass."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of units) used for each design verification bench test, as is typical for 510(k) summaries of mechanical devices. However, it indicates that units were tested. The data provenance would be from internal testing conducted by Penumbra, Inc. (the manufacturer). This is a retrospective evaluation of the device's physical and functional properties. There is no indication of country of origin for specific test data beyond the manufacturer being in Alameda, California, USA.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

Not applicable. This submission is for a mechanical medical device (catheter system), not an AI/ML device that requires human expert annotation for ground truth in image analysis. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by objective physical and chemical testing against engineering specifications and international standards (e.g., ISO, USP).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As there are no human expert readings or interpretations involved in the performance data presented (it's benchmark and material testing), there is no need for an adjudication method.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No. An MRMC study is for evaluating the impact of AI on human reader performance, typically in diagnostic imaging. This device is a mechanical catheter system for stroke intervention, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool. Therefore, no such study was performed or required.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

No. This refers to the standalone performance of an AI algorithm. Since this is a mechanical device, this concept is not applicable. The standalone "performance" refers to the device meeting its physical and functional specifications during bench testing.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" used for this device's performance evaluation comes from engineering specifications, international standards (e.g., ISO 10993 series), and validated test methods. This includes:

  • Pre-defined dimensional and visual product specifications.
  • Measured physical properties (friction, tensile strength, pressure, elongation, torque, burst pressure).
  • Chemical and biological properties (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, hemocompatibility) determined through laboratory assays adhering to GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) and ISO standards.
  • Functionality in simulated clinical use benchtop models.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This refers to a training set for an AI model. This device is a mechanical medical device, not an AI/ML product.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not applicable. As there is no AI training set, there is no ground truth establishment for it. The "ground truth" for the device's design and manufacturing is based on established engineering principles, materials science, and medical device regulations.

Biocompatibility of the subject device is supported by the biocompatibility testing of the predicate and reference devices. Compared with the predicate device (K173761), all materials are the same, aside from the hydrophilic coating, which is identical to the reference device (K190010). Therefore, the previous biocompatibility testing on the predicate and reference devices applies to the subject device and additional testing is not required. The studies were selected in accordance with ISO 10993-1 guidelines (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices) for a limited exposure (< 24 hours), externally communicating device with circulating blood contact. All studies were conducted pursuant to 21 CFR, Part 58, Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
