The Distal Access Catheter is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral and neurovasculature.
The Distal Access Catheter is a single lumen, flexible, variable stiffness composite catheter which has a luer hub on the proximal end. The catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during use. The Distal Access Catheter has a radiopaque marker on the distal tip that is visible under fluoroscopy. The Distal Access Catheter inner lumen can accommodate guidewires up to 0.038 inches in diameter to aid in placement of the catheter system. The catheter has a straight tip. The catheter is offered in various lengths to accommodate physician preferences and anatomical variations. The catheter is provided sterile, nonpyrogenic, and is intended for single use only.
The provided text describes information for a Distal Access Catheter, specifically related to its 510(k) premarket notification for FDA clearance. It details the device's characteristics, intended use, and comparisons to a predicate device, along with non-clinical performance testing (bench testing, biocompatibility, sterility, and shelf-life).
However, the prompt asks for acceptance criteria and a study that proves a device meets acceptance criteria, with specific questions related to AI/Machine Learning (ML) performance, such as:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance.
- Sample size used for the test set and data provenance.
- Number of experts used to establish ground truth and their qualifications.
- Adjudication method for the test set.
- If a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done and its effect size.
- If a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done.
- The type of ground truth used.
- The sample size for the training set.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established.
The provided FDA 510(k) document is for a physical medical device (catheter) and does NOT describe any AI/ML components or studies. Therefore, it does not contain the information necessary to answer the questions about AI/ML acceptance criteria, test sets, ground truth establishment, or clinical studies involving AI.
Based on the provided document, here is a summary of acceptance criteria and performance for the physical device:

- The sample sizes for these tests are not explicitly stated in numerical values (e.g., "n=X units were tested"), but implied by "test articles," "devices," or descriptions like "all bonding points."
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)
- This question is irrelevant for the provided document as it concerns a physical catheter, not an AI/ML product requiring "ground truth" from experts interpreting medical images or data. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by objective engineering and biocompatibility test standards and measurements.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- This question is irrelevant for the provided document as it concerns a physical catheter, not an AI/ML product requiring clinical adjudication of interpretations.
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
- No MRMC or any clinical effectiveness studies were performed or described. The document explicitly states: "No clinical studies were deemed necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- For the physical device, the "ground truth" is defined by established engineering standards (e.g., ISO standards), physical measurements, chemical analyses, and biological assays. It's not based on expert clinical consensus or pathology in the context of diagnostic interpretation.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML product that undergoes "training."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML product.

Dear Diana Hong:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Both baseline and accelerated shelf-life testing were conducted demonstrating the device will perform as intended to support the proposed 1-year shelf-life.

10. Clinical Performance Testing
No clinical studies were deemed necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
11. Conclusion
The subject device, Distal Access Catheter, has similar technological characteristics and the same intended use as the predicate device, Navien Intracranial Support Catheter (K161152). The differences in technological characteristics do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. Based on the completed bench performance, biocompatibility, and sterility testing, and the comparison and analysis above, the subject device performs as intended and is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
