Intended Use

The Q Distal Access Catheter is indicated for use with compatible guide catheters in facilitating the insertion and guidance of microcatheters into a selected blood vessel in the peripheral, coronary and neuro vascular systems.

Device Description

The Q Distal Access Catheter is a single-lumen, variable stiffness catheter with radiopaque markers on the distal and proximal end of the catheter portion for angiographic visualization. The proximal portion of the device is a stainless-steel control wire. The distal portion of the device is a coiled/braided catheter shaft with hydrophilic coating along the entire length to reduce friction during use. The Q Distal Access Catheter may be introduced via an 8F guide catheter/6F guide sheath and over a guidewire/microcatheter into the arterial vasculature until the desired vessel is reached. The pin vise may be used to advance the catheter. The syringe and flush tool components may aid in the flushing of the Q Distal Access Catheter.

AI/ML Overview

The medical device described, the Q Distal Access Catheter, is not an AI/ML powered device, therefore, the requested information regarding AI/ML related aspects (such as effect size, standalone performance, training set details, and expert qualifications for ground truth) is not applicable. The provided text details the non-clinical performance testing for a physical medical catheter.

Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each specific bench or biocompatibility test. The evaluation involved "design verification testing" and "additional biocompatibility testing." The provenance of the data is from internal testing conducted by MIVI Neuroscience, Inc., as part of their 510(k) submission. This is considered retrospective for the purpose of the submission, as the tests were performed to demonstrate compliance of an already designed and manufactured device.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This question is not applicable as the Q Distal Access Catheter is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML powered device that relies on expert interpretation for "ground truth" establishment in its performance evaluation. The "ground truth" in this context refers to established engineering specifications, material science standards, and biocompatibility guidelines.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This question is not applicable for a physical medical device. The "adjudication method" concept is typically used for subjective assessments in clinical or AI/ML studies where human interpretation of ambiguous data is involved. For engineering and scientific testing of a physical device, results are typically objective and determined by established protocols and measurement techniques.

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 question is not applicable. The Q Distal Access Catheter is a physical medical device and does not involve AI assistance for human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

This question is not applicable. The Q Distal Access Catheter is a physical medical device and does not have a standalone algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the Q Distal Access Catheter's performance evaluation is based on a combination of:

  • Design Specifications: Predefined engineering requirements and dimensional tolerances for the catheter.
  • Established Industry Standards: Such as ISO 11135:2014 for sterilization, ISO 10993-7 for biocompatibility residuals, ASTM F756 for hemolysis, and USP 24 chapter 85 for bacterial endotoxins.
  • Visual and Mechanical Inspection Criteria: Standardized methods to assess physical integrity, coating uniformity, and functional performance.
  • Physiological Response Criteria: For biocompatibility, established thresholds for cytotoxicity and hemolysis.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This question is not applicable. The Q Distal Access Catheter is a physical medical device and does not involve an AI/ML training set.

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

This question is not applicable. The Q Distal Access Catheter is a physical medical device and does not involve an AI/ML training set.

Sterilization

The modified O Distal Access Catheter in the new packaging is sterilized using Sustainable Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization process. Sterilization was performed in accordance with ISO 11135:2014 to qualify the reduced EO sterilization process developed by Steris AST which is an optimized cycle using less EO sterilant while still achieving the 10 ° sterility assurance level (SAL) as an acceptable means of sterilization.

The EO residual, limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL), and bioburden testing were performed in accordance with standards listed below:

  • ISO 10993-7 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 7: Ethylene Oxide ● Sterilization Residuals.
  • The USP 24 chapter 85 "Bacterial Endotoxins Test" and FDA guidance, "Pyrogen and ● Endotoxins Testing: Questions and Answers, " June 2012.

Shelf-life

The modified O Distal Access Catheter will be labelled with an expiration date of 3 years from the date of sterilization, which is same as for the predicate device K192558.

Conclusions

The modified Q Distal Access Catheter has the same indications for use, principle of operation, and design concept as the currently marketed MIVI Q Distal Access Catheter predicate device. The technological differences between the subject device and the currently marketed predicate device include the catheter dimensions, increased compatibility range with the guide catheter/sheath, addition of the syringe and flush tool accessory components to the packaging configuration, packaging, sterilization, and product labeling updates. The subject device has been evaluated through risk analysis and testing. The differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The testing verified the device met the design specifications. Based on the predicate comparison, risk assessment, and device testing information provided in this 510(k) submission, the subject device has been shown to be appropriate for its intended use and is therefore considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
