The Reprocessed Agilis NxT Introducer is indicated when introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the heart including the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum.
The reprocessed Agilis NxT steerable introducer consists of a steerable sheath, dilator, and quidewire which is designed to provide flexible catheter positioning in the cardiac anatomy. The steerable introducer is fitted with a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss during catheter introduction and/or exchange. A sideport with three-way stopcock is provided for air or blood aspiration, fluid infusion, blood sampling and pressure monitoring. The handle is equipped with a rotating collar to deflect the tip clockwise ≥ 180° and counterclockwise ≥ 90°. The steerable introducer features distal vent holes to facilitate aspiration and minimize cavitation and a radiopaque tip marker to improve fluoroscopic visualization.
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for a Reprocessed Agilis NxT Steerable Introducer. This document is for a medical device that facilitates the introduction of catheters into the heart. It is not an AI/ML medical device, and therefore the provided document does not contain information on acceptance criteria for AI models, nor studies that prove an AI device meets acceptance criteria.
The information requested in the prompt (acceptance criteria for device performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, etc.) is typically found in submissions for AI/ML-driven medical devices, especially those related to diagnostic imaging or analysis.
Since this document pertains to a reprocessed physical medical device (a catheter introducer), the "studies" mentioned are bench and laboratory testing to prove the device's physical and mechanical performance, biocompatibility, cleaning validation, sterilization validation, and packaging validation. These are standard tests for physical medical devices, not for AI model performance.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from the provided text because it describes a different type of medical device assessment.
