AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study details for the Imperative Care Zoom System, based on the provided text:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

The study refers to "performance goals" but does not explicitly define each as an "acceptance criterion" with a specific threshold prior to reporting results. Based on the way the results are presented against these goals, they are treated as acceptance criteria. Performance goals were met for effectiveness and a specific safety endpoint.

Acceptance Criteria (Performance Goal as stated in the text)Reported Device Performance
Effectiveness: Lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI > 69% for mTICI ≥ 2b in three or fewer passes of Zoom System without using other devices.84% (177/211; 95% CI: 78% to 89%)
Safety: Observed rate < 6.0% for ECASS III defined symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) at 24 hours post-procedure.0.9% (2/211; 95% CI: 0.1% to 3.4%)

Study Details

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: 211 evaluable subjects for the primary effectiveness and safety analyses. The overall study enrolled 260 evaluable subjects.
    • Data Provenance: Prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm pivotal clinical investigation. All 26 clinical sites were located in the United States.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • The text mentions "independent core lab adjudicated reperfusion success" for effectiveness and "adjudicated by an independent core lab and Independent Safety Board (ISB)" for sICH.
    • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated how many radiologists, neurologists, or other specialists were part of the "independent core lab" or "ISB."
    • Qualifications of Experts: Not explicitly stated, but implied to be qualified medical professionals experienced in neurovascular imaging and stroke outcomes.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • The text simply states "independent core lab adjudicated" and "adjudicated by an independent core lab and Independent Safety Board (ISB)." The specific method (e.g., how many reviewers, how disagreements were resolved) is not detailed.
  4. 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, a multi-reader, multi-case comparative effectiveness study involving AI assistance for human readers was not done. This was a clinical trial assessing the device's direct performance in revascularization procedures.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • No. This study evaluated a medical device (Zoom System catheters, tubing, and pump) used by human operators in a clinical setting. It is not an AI algorithm.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Effectiveness Ground Truth: Independent core lab adjudicated reperfusion success, defined by mTICI score (a grading scale for reperfusion) based on imaging.
    • Safety Ground Truth: Independent core lab and ISB adjudicated symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) based on imaging (ECASS III criteria). Other secondary safety endpoints also relied on core lab and ISB adjudication, and 90-day all-cause mortality is an outcomes data point.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • This was a pivotal clinical trial for device approval, not an AI algorithm development study. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The device itself was refined through engineering and non-clinical testing.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • As this is not an AI algorithm study, the concept of a "training set" and its associated ground truth does not apply. The device's design and engineering would have been informed by preclinical studies (bench and animal testing) and previous clinical experience with similar devices.

Summary of the study:

The Imperative Trial was a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm pivotal clinical investigation that assessed the safety and effectiveness of the Zoom System for acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusions. The study enrolled 260 evaluable subjects across 26 clinical sites in the United States. The primary effectiveness endpoint was reperfusion success (mTICI ≥ 2b in three or fewer passes without other devices), which was 84% (95% CI: 78%-89%), meeting the performance goal of a lower bound > 69%. The primary safety endpoint was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), observed in 0.9% (95% CI: 0.1%-3.4%), meeting the performance goal of < 6.0%. Secondary safety endpoints included all-cause mortality, all intracranial hemorrhage, device-related SAEs, and procedure-related vessel injury. The ground truth for effectiveness and sICH was established through independent core lab and/or Independent Safety Board adjudication based on post-procedure imaging. The study concluded that the Zoom System is safe and effective for this indication.

VIII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility Testing

The tissue contacting materials, including raw materials, manufacturing processes and manufacturing aids, of the subject Zoom Catheters are similar to the predicate ZOOM Reperfusion Catheters (K211476 and K210996). Original testing on the predicate devices apply to the subject Zoom Catheters and additional biocompatibility testing was not required.

The subject LDP Catheters are identical to the reference LDP Catheters (K240948). There are no changes to the patient contacting materials, including raw materials, manufacturing processes, and manufacturing aids, of the subject LDP Catheters. Therefore, the original testing on the reference devices apply to the subject LDP Catheters and additional biocompatibility testing was not required.

The changes made to the Zoom Aspiration Tubing to create the Zoom POD Aspiration Tubing (Zoom POD) were evaluated for the Zoom POD in accordance with the FDA guidance document, "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process"," and International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process." Supporting biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation / intracutaneous reactivity) was completed to confirm that the addition of the in-line clot filter component (collection pod) did not result in any significant changes to the biocompatibility of the Zoom POD Aspiration Tubing.

{12}------------------------------------------------

Non-clinical Bench Testing

A summary of the evaluated design and performance specifications is presented in Table 3 and Table 4. Performance specifications and test methods were based primarily on catheter performance standard ISO 10555-1. The test results were reviewed and found to demonstrate that the differences between the subject devices and predicate or reference devices do not significantly impact any performance parameters that would negatively affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject devices.

Sterilization

The Zoom System devices (Zoom Catheters, LDP Catheters, Zoom Aspiration Tubing, Zoom POD Aspiration Tubing) are sterilized using validated EO processes with a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 106. The sterilization processes were validated per the overkill method in accordance with ISO 11135, "Sterilization of Health-Care Products - Ethylene Oxide - Requirements for the Development, Validation and Routine Control of a Sterilization Process for Medical Devices."

Shelf Life and Packaging

Accelerated aging testing based on ASTM F1980 was previously conducted to verify packaged device performance of the subject LDP Catheters and Zoom Aspiration Tubing. Accelerated aging testing based on ASTM F1980 was conducted to verify packaged device performance of the subject Zoom Catheters and Zoom POD Aspiration Tubing. A minimum shelf life was established based on these testing and is indicated by the expiration date provided on the product labeling. Verification testing of the subject devices followed the same test methods as the predicate devices.

Packaging and sterile barrier integrity following a transportation challenge has been verified for the packaging configurations used for the Zoom Catheters, LDP Catheters, and Zoom Aspiration Tubing within the Zoom System. Aging testing has also been performed that supports the sterile barrier integrity following aging.

Animal Studies

A series of subacute and chronic animal studies were conducted to evaluate the safe and effective use of the Zoom Catheters and LDP Catheters with the Imperative Care Zoom Aspiration Pump and Zoom Aspiration Tubing in a porcine model. Testing included worst case positioning of the catheter in a "wedged" position, retrieval of various types of clots, and evaluation of various aspiration pressures. The Penumbra System was used as a control device in all completed studies. The studies concluded that:

{16}------------------------------------------------

  • All vessels treated with the Zoom Catheters and the LDP Catheters were patent, . with no perforation, dissection or thrombosis following completion of the procedure.
  • The subacute and chronic vascular response was histologically comparable between . the Zoom Catheters/LDP Catheters and control Penumbra System Reperfusion Catheter.
  • The subacute and chronic pathological findings were comparable between the . Zoom Catheters/LDP Catheters and control Penumbra System Reperfusion Catheter.

Clinical Study

The Imperative Care Zoom Catheters and the LDP Catheters were studied in the Imperative Trial, a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm pivotal clinical investigation designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Zoom System in subjects diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusions and undergoing a stroke mechanical neurothrombectomy procedure within 8 hours of last known well. A total of 260 evaluable subjects were enrolled across 26 clinical sites in the United States. Further details on this study can be accessed at ClinicalTrials.gov using the identifier NCT04129125.

Imperative Trial Mechanical Neurothrombectomy Procedure

Mechanical neurothrombectomy was performed using the Zoom System under general anesthesia or conscious sedation, at the discretion of the investigator. The Zoom Catheters and the LDP Catheters were the primary device. An LDP Catheter was employed to access the vasculature in all cases, while its use to aspirate was according to the treating physicians' preference. Aspiration was applied through an LDP Catheter alone or in conjunction with a Zoom (71, 55, 45, or 35) Catheter either proximal to the clot or at the clot in 92% (238/260) of subjects and in 52% (124/238) of these subjects, aspiration was applied through an LDP Catheter alone or in conjunction with a Zoom (71, 55, 45, or 35) Catheter at the clot. If multiple revascularization attempts were required, the Zoom System was recommended to be used for at least the first three attempts before considering switching to any non-Zoom System device. If the modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score ≥ 2b revascularization was not achieved after three attempts with the study device, the procedure was considered a treatment failure for the primary effectiveness endpoint analysis. The subject received standard hospital/medical care after mechanical neurothrombectomy.

From the 260 subjects, the analyzed cohort includes 211 subjects of which 210 underwent concomitant aspiration mechanical neurothrombectomy with combined use of an LDP Catheter (Zoom 88 LDP, Zoom 88 LDP Support, or TracStar LDP) and a Zoom (71, 55, 45, or 35) Catheter and one underwent concomitant aspiration mechanical neurothrombectomy with two Zoom (55 + 35) Catheters. Subjects with single catheter aspiration mechanical neurothrombectomy were excluded from the analysis (n=49), including 28 subjects with direct clot aspiration applied only through the LDP Catheter (Zoom 88 LDP, Zoom 88 LDP Support, or TracStar LDP) for at least one pass and 21 subjects with direct clot aspiration applied only through the Zoom (71, 55, 45, or 35) Catheters for at least one pass. The limited sample size of 28 subjects with direct clot aspiration applied only through the LDP Catheter for at least one pass was not sufficient to establish the safety and effectiveness of the LDP Catheters for use in direct aspiration alone.

Catheters Used for Concomitant Aspiration

In all but one subject, which used a combination of the Zoom 55 and Zoom 35 Catheters,

concomitant aspiration within the Imperative Trial was performed using a combination of

an LDP Catheter (Zoom 88 LDP, Zoom 88 LDP Support, TracStar LDP) and a smaller

{20}------------------------------------------------

diameter Zoom (71, 55, 45, or 35) Catheter. The Zoom Catheters most commonly used with the LDP Catheters on the first procedural pass were: Zoom 71 (81%, 170/211), Zoom 55 (15%, 31/211), Zoom 45 (2.4%, 5/211), and Zoom 35 (1.9%, 4/211).

Results

The primary effectiveness endpoint was independent core lab adjudicated reperfusion success, defined as achieving a mTICI score of ≥ 2b in three or fewer passes with the Zoom System (primary modality), without using additional mechanical neurothrombectomy devices or rescue therapy (e.g., intra-arterial lytics).

Core lab adjudicated reperfusion success within three or fewer passes was achieved in 84% (177/211; 95% confidence interval (CI) of 78% to 89%) of subjects, with a p-value <0.001 compared to the performance goal (PG). The performance goal of a lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI >69% was met.

The primary safety endpoint was the rate of ECASS III defined symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), confirmed by imaging 24 hours post-procedure and adjudicated by an independent core lab and Independent Safety Board (ISB). sICH was observed in 0.9% (2/211; 95% CI of 0.1% to 3.4%) of subjects, which meets the pre-specified performance goal of ≤ 6.0% for the observed rate.

The secondary safety endpoints included an all-cause mortality rate of 12.3% (26/211; 95% CI of 8.1% to 17.2%), a rate of all intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) within 24 hours postprocedure as adjudicated by the independent core lab of 20.0% (42/210; 95% CI of 14.8% to 26.1%), a rate of device-related serious adverse events (SAE) as adjudicated by the ISB of 1.4% (3/211; 95% CI of 0.3% to 4.1%) at 90-day follow-up, a rate of procedure-related serious vessel injury (dissections and perforations) of 0.5% (1/211; 95% CI of < 0.1% to 2.6%) and a rate of embolization in new territory (ENT) of 1.0% (2/200; 95% CI of 0.1% to 3.6%).

§§ All groin pseudoaneurysms

Direct aspiration using the LDP Catheters (Zoom 88 LDP, Zoom 88 LDP Support, TracStar LDP) alone is not supported by the Imperative Trial due to insufficient data. Aspiration through the LDP Catheter (Zoom 88 LDP, Zoom 88 LDP Support, or TracStar LDP) must be performed in conjunction with a Zoom (71, 55, 45, or 35) Catheter.

Imperative Trial Conclusions

Stroke mechanical neurothrombectomy with the Zoom System is safe and effective in subjects with large vessel occlusions within eight hours of last known well. All prespecified performance goals were met.

CONCLUSIONS IX.

Where differences were identified between the subject and predicate devices, a risk assessment was completed to determine if the differences would result in new safety or effectiveness concerns. As appropriate, bench and laboratory testing were evaluated for applicability and either the rationale for no impact was documented or verification and validation was repeated as required. The non-clinical bench and animal data support the safety of the device and demonstrate that the subject Zoom System performs as intended in the specified use conditions. The clinical performance data from the Imperative Trial demonstrates that the Zoom System meets the safety and effectiveness performance goals.

Based on the non-clinical and clinical performance data presented above, the subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent and there are no new safety or effectiveness concerns. The subject Zoom System and predicate devices share the same intended use, basic technological characteristics, and performance characteristics.
