2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (e.g., number of guidewires) used for each individual performance bench test or biocompatibility test. It only states that the device "passed all performance bench testing." For biocompatibility, some tests specify animal models (e.g., guinea pig, rabbits, mice, dogs), but the specific number of animals is not provided.
  • Data Provenance: The document generally indicates that the tests were performed in accordance with "internal requirements, referenced guidance and international standards." The country of origin for the data is implied to be from the manufacturer, Enlight Medical Technologies (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., located in China. The data would be considered prospective as it was generated specifically for this 510(k) submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts

  • This question is not applicable as this is a physical medical device (guidewire), not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic device requiring expert clinical interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" for these tests is defined by the physical and chemical properties measured against established engineering and biological standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • This question is not applicable for the reasons stated above. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used in clinical studies where human interpretation of medical images or patient data requires consensus, which is not relevant here.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

  • No. An MRMC study was not performed because this is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML-driven system that assists human readers in diagnostic tasks. The document explicitly states: "No clinical testing was deemed necessary to support the substantial equivalence of the subject device."

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

  • Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-only device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by engineering standards (e.g., measurements of tensile strength, torqueability, flexibility, dimensions) and biological/chemical standards for biocompatibility (e.g., cytotoxicity assays, pyrogen tests, hemolysis assays). These are objective, quantifiable measures against predefined acceptance criteria from international standards (e.g., ISO 11070, ISO 10993 series) and FDA guidance.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML model that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI/ML model.
