Intended Use

The Thinline Sheath Introducer is intended to provide access and facilitate the percutaneous introduction of various devices into veins and/or arteries while maintaining hemostasis for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Device Description

The Thinline Introducer Sheath is a single-lumen, coil-reinforced catheter. The Thinline Introducer Sheath is available in 11cm and 23cm lengths (French size 9F) and is designed to accept 0.038 inch diameter quide wires. A radiopaque outer laver is included for angiographic visualization. A valved hub with integrated suture ring is attached to the proximal end with extension tubing and a three way stop cock which allows attachments for flushing and aspiration. This catheter is designed for use in providing access and facilitating the percutaneous introduction of various devices into veins and/or arteries while maintaining hemostasis for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The dimensions for the Thinline Introducer Sheath are indicated on the product label. A dilator and guidewire accessory are included within the packaging. It is supplied sterile, non-pyrogenic, and is intended for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device called the "Thinline Sheath Introducer." This document details the device's characteristics, indications for use, and the testing conducted to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Crucially, this document is for a physical medical device (a catheter introducer) and contains no information about an AI/ML-driven device or its acceptance criteria related to AI performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, AUC).

Therefore, I cannot extract the information required to answer your questions regarding acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, such as sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, or standalone performance. The performance data presented in the document (Table 6.2) relates to physical and functional tests of the sheath introducer, such as tensile strength, burst pressure, and sterility, not AI algorithm performance.

If you can provide a document that discusses an AI/ML-driven medical device and its validation study, I would be able to answer your questions.

Dear Garry Koroshec:

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).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the OS regulation reguires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803). please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reporting-mdr-howreport-medical-device-problems.

Table 6.3 Summary of Biocompatibility Testing Leveraged from the Reference Device (K171672)

6.6 Sterilization Validation

A confirmatory sterilization study was conducted to verify that the subject device can be adopted into the previously validated ethylene oxide sterilization cycle. The device passed all sterility, EO residual, LAL, and bioburden testing.

6.7 Conclusion

Review of the verification and validation test data as well as comparison of the device classification, indications for use, operating principle, technological characteristics, sterility, and biocompatibility, demonstrate that the subject device, the Thinline Introducer Sheath, is substantially equivalent to the predicate Merit Prelude Ideal 9F Hydrophilic Sheath Introducer #K212152.
