Intended Use

The Route 92 Medical Full Length 054 Reperfusion System and Aspiration Tubing Set is indicated for use in the revascularization of patients with acute 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 failed IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.

Device Description

The 054 Aspiration Catheter and Tenzing 5 Delivery Catheter comprise the Route 92 Medical Full Length 054 Reperfusion System. The Route 92 Medical Full Length 054 Reperfusion System is used with the Route 92 Medical Aspiration Tubing Set.

The 054 Aspiration Catheter is a single-lumen, coil-reinforced variable stiffness catheter. The Tenzing 5 Delivery Catheter is a single-lumen variable stiffness catheters are hydrophilically coated. The devices are provided sterile and non-pyrogenic and are intended for single use only.

The Route 92 Medical Aspiration Tubing Set is made from high-pressure tubing. An on/off switch is provided to control fluid flow. A suction connector allows connection to an aspiration pump canister and a Luer fitting allows connection to the aspiration catheter.

For the aspiration source, the Aspiration Catheter is used in conjunction with an aspiration pump with prespecified performance parameters that is connected using the Route 92 Medical Aspiration Tubing Set, along with a legally marketed canister and accessories kit.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding the Route 92 Medical Full Length 054 Reperfusion System and Aspiration Tubing Set. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving that the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria based on clinical outcomes or expert-adjudicated ground truth.

Therefore, many of the requested elements for describing an acceptance criteria study, especially those related to AI algorithm performance (e.g., sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance), are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission. This document describes non-clinical testing to ensure the device's functional performance, safety, and compatibility.

Here's an analysis of the available information:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria values for each test, but rather generally states "All samples met the pre-determined acceptance criteria." The performance is reported as "PASS" for all tests.

TestTest MethodAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Shelf Life and SterilityEthylene oxide sterilization cycle verified to a sterility assurance level of 1 x 10⁻⁶ in accordance with ISO 11135. Aging studies established functional integrity for labeled expiration date.Sterility assurance level of 1 x 10⁻⁶; functional for 6 months.PASS
Biocompatibility TestingNot performed again as materials were unchanged from reference device K223530.None (re-use of prior assessment)Not applicable
Simulated Use TestingDeliverability, clot retrieval, device integrity, kink and aspiration resistance, lumen patency, durability and compatibility with accessory devices evaluated in a neurovascular model.Meet pre-determined functional criteria in a neurovascular model.PASS
Lumen Patency TestingTest specimens tested for lumen patency under vacuum.Meet pre-determined lumen patency criteria under vacuum.PASS
Dimensional VerificationDevice dimensions measured to confirm conformance to specifications.Conformance to specifications.PASS
Luer IntegrityTested per ISO 80369-7:2021.Conformance to ISO 80369-7:2021.PASS
Tensile StrengthTensile strength of catheter sections and bonds tested.Meet pre-determined tensile strength criteria.PASS
Kink ResistanceTest specimen segments formed into a defined bend diameter to evaluate kink resistance.Meet pre-determined kink resistance criteria.PASS
Torsion ResistanceTest specimens rotated to evaluate integrity after rotation.Maintain integrity after rotation.PASS
Tip FlexibilityTest specimens tested for tip flexibility.Meet pre-determined tip flexibility criteria.PASS
Air LeakageTested per ISO 10555-1:2013 Annex D.Conformance to ISO 10555-1:2013 Annex D.PASS
Liquid LeakageTested per ISO 10555-1:2013 Annex C.Conformance to ISO 10555-1:2013 Annex C.PASS

Hydrophilic Coating IntegrityIntegrity of the hydrophilic coating evaluated after multiple insertion and withdrawal cycles.Maintain coating integrity after multiple cycles.PASS
Aspiration PressureVacuum pressure at the tip of the catheter assessed during aspiration.Meet pre-determined aspiration pressure criteria.PASS
ParticulateSize and quantity of particulates generated during simulated use evaluated.Meet pre-determined particulate limits.PASS

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document states "All samples met the pre-determined acceptance criteria" for each test but does not specify the numerical sample sizes (N) for each test set. The data provenance is described as "Non-Clinical Testing" which implies in-vitro or laboratory testing, not human-derived data like images or patient records. Therefore, information like country of origin or retrospective/prospective is not applicable here.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. The tests are non-clinical, mechanical, and performance-based (e.g., tensile strength, lumen patency). The "ground truth" is based on engineering specifications and adherence to international standards (like ISO) rather than expert interpretation of medical images or clinical outcomes.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. No expert adjudication was involved as the tests are objective, non-clinical measurements.

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

Not applicable. This is a medical device for revascularization, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. No MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is based on:

  • Engineering specifications: Device dimensions, tensile strength, etc.
  • International standards: ISO 11135 for sterility, ISO 80369-7:2021 for Luer integrity, ISO 10555-1:2013 for air/liquid leakage and burst strength.
  • Functional performance criteria: In a simulated neurovascular model for deliverability, clot retrieval, etc.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model. There is no concept of a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set.

Non-Clinical Testing

Shelf Life and Sterility

The Route 92 Medical Full Length 054 Reperfusion System and Aspiration Tubing are sterilized using an ethylene oxide sterilization cycle that was verified to a sterility assurance level of 1 x 10° in accordance with ISO 11135. Aging studies established that the subject device and packaging remain functional for the labeled expiration date.

Biocompatibility Testing

The patient-contacting materials of the Route 92 Medical Full Length 054 Reperfusion System and Aspiration Tubing Set were unchanged compared to the reference device K223530; therefore, no additional biocompatibility testing was required.

Performance Testing

The successful completion of the performance testing listed in the following tables demonstrates that the Route 92 Medical Full Length 054 Reperfusion System is suitable for its intended use.

Animal Studies:

No animal study was deemed necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

{8}------------------------------------------------

Clinical Studies:

No clinical study was deemed necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Conclusion

The Route 92 Medical Full Length 054 Reperfusion System and Aspiration Tubing Set has the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, and same method of action as the predicate device. Differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness of the device. The successful completion of performance testing demonstrates that the Route 92 Medical Full Length 054 Reperfusion System and Aspiration Tubing Set is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
