Intended Use

SmartGUIDE guidewire is intended for general intravascular and peripheral vascular and peripheral vasculatures. It can be used to selectively introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices within the peripheral and neurovasculature. SmartGUIDE is intended to be used only by physicians trained in percutaneous, intravascular techniques and procedures.

Device Description

SmartGUIDE is a deflectable quidewire for general intravascular use, including neurovascular and peripheral vasculatures. It can be used to selectively introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices within the peripheral and neurovasculature. The device is available with a nominal outer diameter of 0.014" (0.36 mm) and overall length of 200 cm. The device is available sterile and is for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the SmartGUIDE deflectable hydrophilic guidewire (K222690), a medical device, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It details various tests conducted to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness, but it does not pertain to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) or machine learning device.

Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/ML device studies (such as sample size for test sets and training sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth for training) are not applicable to this document.

However, I can extract and present the acceptance criteria and performance data for the physical medical device as described in the provided text.

Here is the information based on the provided document:

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

For the SmartGUIDE deflectable hydrophilic guidewire, the acceptance criteria are generally implied by conformity to established standards and guidance documents (e.g., FDA Guidewire Guidance, ISO 11070) and comparative equivalence to a predicate device. The "reported device performance" is consistently "Pass" or "Pass / Equivalent," indicating that the device met these criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • This document describes a non-AI/ML medical device.
  • Sample Size (Pre-Clinical Animal Study): Not explicitly stated, but it was a "controlled good laboratory practice (GLP) study in domestic swine." The number of animals used is not specified.
  • Data Provenance: The pre-clinical animal study was conducted as a "controlled good laboratory practice (GLP) study in domestic swine." No country of origin is listed for the study data. It is a prospective study in animals.
  • For bench and biocompatibility testing, sample sizes are also not explicitly stated, but these are standard laboratory tests.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device study requiring expert ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" for the device's performance comes from validated laboratory tests and the observation of physical and physiological responses in animal studies.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device study involving human interpretation with adjudication. The assessment of device performance in bench and animal studies relies on established measurement protocols and scientific observation.

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 as this is not an AI/ML device. No MRMC study was performed.

Biocompatibility

The materials used in the manufacture of the subject device SmartGUIDE deflectable hydrophilic quidewire are of well characterized medical grade.

Biocompatibility testing was completed in accordance with ISO 10993 and consisted of the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity ●
  • Sensitization
  • Intracutaneous reactivity ●
  • Material mediated pyrogenicity ●
  • . Bacterial endotoxins
  • . Acute systemic toxicity
  • Complement activation
  • Hemolysis ●
  • Thrombogenicity

All tests confirmed biocompatibility.

Sterilization and Shelf life

The device is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide. The sterilization process has been validated in accordance with EN ISO 11135. The device is non-pyrogenic.

Testing of the device after accelerated aging (T = 2 years accelerated aging) confirmed that all acceptance criteria were met supporting the shelf-life of the device.

Pre-Clinical Animal Testing Data

As part of demonstrating the substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Artiria Medical completed a controlled good laboratory practice (GLP) study in domestic swine with the subject device and the predicate device. Usability, performance, subacute (3-day) and chronic (30day) vascular safety, and thrombogenicity were assessed in this study. The following table presents an overview of the results of this study.

Statement of Substantial Equivalence

The SmartGUIDE deflectable hydrophilic guidewire has the same intended use and indications for use, and similar technological characteristics compared to the Synchro² Support Guidewire predicate device. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate, and the nonclinical testing discussed above demonstrates that the subject device performs as intended. Therefore, the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
