Intended Use

The use of the IRRAflow Active Fluid Exchange System is indicated when intracranial pressure monitoring is required and for externally draining intracranial fluid as a means of reducing intracranial pressure in patients where an external drainage and monitoring system is needed.

Device Description

The IRRAflow® Active Fluid Exchange System (formerly branded as the CNS System) is an intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and drainage system, substantially equivalent to the predicate 510(k) K200807. Changes described herein were evaluated using design controls. The drainage flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the IRRAflow Catheter is uni-directional and gravity-driven; there is no recirculation of the CSF. A parallel line from the saline infusion bag is used in case clearance at the tip of the catheter is required. The IRRAflow Tube Set has a cassette that clicks on to the IRRAflow Control Unit and aligns the tubing against a peristaltic pump and pinch valve. A drainage bag is attached to the Control Unit, using the Laser Leveler for defining the height of the bag relative to the catheter's tip position in the patient's head. This positioning is used for controlling the speed of drainage. The tubing and catheter can be disconnected and connected by standard Luer-Lock connectors. Settings can be changed via the user interface on the Control Unit. The default mode provides drainage and measuring ICP, allowing bolus injections when indicated. The bolus injections allow the catheter to be flushed when it becomes clogged. CSF or intracranial fluid samples can be taken from the aspiration port.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the IRRAflow® Active Fluid Exchange System (AFES). It details the device's technical specifications and compares it to predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence. However, it does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and performance data for an AI/ML powered device.

The document explicitly states that the device is an "intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and drainage system" and that "Changes made only to the Control Unit software required additional testing, including verification and validation of new and enhanced functionality." It refers to "Control Unit 4.0," which includes software enhancements.

Despite mentioning "User software enhancements" and "pressure accuracy improvement," the document focuses on engineering verification and validation tests for a hardware/software medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm. The tests listed in "Table 4" (Verification by Inspection, BSM Requirements Verification, Electrical Requirements Verification, Mechanical Performance Verification, Life Cycle Verification Test, Packaging Verification) are standard for medical device hardware and software, but do not align with the typical criteria and studies for proving the performance of an AI/ML-powered algorithm, especially none that would require ground truth from experts, multi-reader studies, or specific AI acceptance metrics like sensitivity/specificity or AUC.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request for a table of AI acceptance criteria and performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, as these details are not present in the provided document. The document describes a conventional medical device clearance, not an AI/ML clearance.

Without further information that explicitly details a clinical study demonstrating the performance of an AI/ML component with human-in-the-loop or standalone, I cannot generate the requested output.

3.0 SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The IRRAflow® AFES (formerly branded as CNS System) intended use, technological characteristics and principles of operation are the substantially equivalent to the predicate device described in K200807. Changes present in the Control Unit 4.0 that would have potential to affect the technological characteristics or principles of operation of the IRRAflow® System were evaluated by design controls. Earlier predicate devices described in K192289 and K200807 are shown for comparison in Table 2 below.

Comparison of these Monitoring Systems will show that the only difference in the device presented in this Special 510(k) are the enhanced and new features present in the Control Unit, designated as version 4.0. The currently cleared and marketed Control Unit is designated as version 3.0. Data presented definitively support the conclusion that Control Unit version 4.0 continues to be as safe and effective as the predicate device.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Therefore, this Special 510(k) captures detailed descriptions of changes to the Control Unit which is part of the overall IRRAflow® AFES, classified by FDA as a Class II medical device. IRRAS is submitting this Special 510(k) as substantially equivalent to the IRRA/low® CNS System device described in K192289 and K200807.

** Equivalent-change from CNS System to Active Fluid Exchange System is a branding change only

{9}------------------------------------------------

A review of Table 2 shows that there is no change to the overall IRRA/low® system. Changes made only to the Control Unit software required additional testing, including verification and validation of new and enhanced functionality. Changes present in the Control Unit 4.0 that would have potential to affect the technological characteristics or principles of operation of the IRRAflow® System were evaluated by design controls. Any new safety and effectiveness issues related to the Control Unit modifications are addressed in the FMEA and Risk Analysis.

Because changes were made only to the Control Unit software (with minor hardware changes to accommodate hanger for drainage bag and Scale), with the required additional testing including verification and validation new and enhanced functionality, the continued safe and effective use of Control Unit 4.0 was confirmed. Changes present in the Control Unit 4.0 that would have potential to affect the technological characteristics or principles of operation of the IRRAflow® System were evaluated by design controls. Any new safety and effectiveness issues related to the Control Unit modifications are addressed in the Control Unit FMEA. No changes were made to the EVD catheter or the remaining components of the IRRA/low® system.

4.0 SUMMARY OF DESIGN CONTROLS

Procedural design controls were followed, and all design elements were satisfied.

5.0 SUMMARY OF VERIFICATION & VALIDATION

Additional verification and validation performance testing was done on the IRRAflow AFES Control Unit 4.0. Any new safety and effectiveness issues related to software and other described changes were addressed in the FMEA and Risk Analysis.

The IRRAflow® AFES is substantially equivalent to the system described in 510(k) K200807. Enhanced and new Control Unit features are described herein. These changes do not adversely affect the safety and effectiveness of the IRRA/low® Control Unit. Any new risks to the overall system were address in the FMEA and Risk Analysis. The risk was evaluated separately, as well as, in conjunction with the system components of the IRRAflow® AFES. Since any new concerns or risks identified were mitigated by the actual proper use and function of Control Unit 4.0, it is appropriate to conclude that the IRRAflow® AFES is Substantially Equivalent to the predicate device (K200807).

A summary of the testing done at IRRAS is presented in the Table below. In Table 4 below, IRRAS has identified the various well-established and recognized Standards for evaluation of the performance of the Control Unit 4.0 separately. Results are provided in a summary format. Complete test reports are available upon request.

Conclusions

The IRRAflow® AFES (formerly branded as the CNS system) is Substantially Equivalent to the predicate device (K200807). The IRRAflow® AFES has the same Indications for Use. Changes present in the Control Unit 4.0 that would have potential to affect the technological characteristics or principles of operation of the IRRAflow® System were evaluated by design controls.
