Intended Use

As part of the Socrates Aspiration System, the Socrates 38 Aspiration Catheter with a compatible suction pump 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, basilar, and vertebral arteries) 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.

As part of the Socrates Aspiration System, the Socrates Aspiration Tubing is indicated to connect the Socrates 38 Aspiration Catheter to a compatible suction pump.

Device Description

The Scientia Vascular Socrates Aspiration System is composed of two components: the Socrates 38 Aspiration Catheter, designed to aid in accessing vasculature, and the Socrates Aspiration Tubing, designed to connect the aspiration catheter to a compatible suction pump and control flow between them. When used with a compatible vacuum pump, these components facilitate the aspiration and removal of thrombus from the neurovasculature. Both components are supplied sterile for single use only.

The Socrates 38 Aspiration Catheter is a single lumen, variable stiffness catheter designed to be advanced over a steerable guidewire. The catheter shaft design includes nitinol, polymers of varying durometer, and an internal lubricious liner. To reduce friction during manipulation, a hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal exterior section of the catheter shaft. A single radiopaque tip marker provides visualization under fluoroscopy. The proximal end of the catheter includes a clear hub with Luer lock and a stainless-steel strain relief. The catheter is supplied sterile, for single use only and is packaged with a rotating hemostasis valve (RHV).

The Socrates Aspiration Tubing is designed to connect the Socrates 38 Aspiration Catheter to a compatible vacuum pump and control flow between them. The aspiration tubing consists of tubing attached to a suction connector on one end and a male Luer lock on the other with an intermediate on/off fluid flow control device and is supplied sterile and for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the Socrates Aspiration System does not contain information related to an AI/ML-enabled device or its performance criteria specific to AI/ML applications. The document describes a medical device for revascularization in acute ischemic stroke and its non-clinical performance data (biocompatibility, functional testing, and an animal study) to support substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request for information regarding acceptance criteria and a study that proves an AI-enabled device meets those criteria based on the provided text. The document clearly states:

  • "The non-clinical performance data presented were determined to be sufficient to support the substantial equivalence of the Socrates Aspiration System. Therefore, no clinical study was conducted."
  • There is no mention of an AI/ML component, a test set, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance.

If you have a document pertaining to an AI/ML medical device, please provide that.
