BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System - Single Port
BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System is intended to be inserted into a patient's peripheral vascular system for short term use to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids. These devices may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy, procedure being performed, fluids being infused, and duration of therapy. The 22-18 GA (0.9-1.3 mm) devices are suitable for use with power injectors set to a maximum pressure of 300 psi (2068 kPa) when access ports not suitable for use with power injectors are removed.
BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System - Dual Port
BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System is intended to be inserted into a patient's peripheral vascular system for short term use to sample blood or administer fluids. These devices may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy, procedure being performed, fluids being infused, and duration of therapy. The 22-18 GA (0.9-1.3 mm) devices are suitable for use with power injectors set to a maximum pressure of 300 psi (2068 kPa) when access ports not suitable for use with power injectors are removed.
BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter Systems are over-the-needle, intravascular catheters. These devices have a radiopaque BD Vialon™ catheter, needle, needle shield, septum, stabilization platform, integrated extension tubing, clamp, Luer adapter (single or dual port), vent plug, and pre-attached needle-free connector (BD Q-Syte™ or BD MaxZero™) (dual port configurations only). The needle and catheter are protected by a needle cover. A BD Q-Syte™ Needle-free Connector, BD MaxZero™ Needle-free Connector, or end cap with protective cover is provided in the unit package (not available with all configurations).
The closed system is designed to keep blood contained within the device throughout the insertion process. The septum is designed to wipe visible blood from the needle surface as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter, further reducing the risk of blood exposure. The needle tip is passively protected when the needle is removed, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injury.
These devices have BD Instaflash™ needle technology, allowing for immediate visualization of blood along the catheter. Continuous blood return is seen in the extension tubing. The vent plug prevents blood leakage from the extension tubing during insertion. Both the stabilization platform and Luer connector are color coded to indicate catheter gauge size (24 GA (0.7 mm) = Yellow, 22 GA (0.9 mm) = Blue, 20 GA (1.1 mm) = Pink, 18 GA (1.3 mm) = Green).
The provided 510(k) clearance letter and summary discuss the BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System, not an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, and ground truth establishment pertinent to AI/ML device performance (sample sizes, expert consensus, MRMC studies, etc.) is not available in the provided text.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K183399) through performance testing of the physical catheter system, rather than validating an algorithm's diagnostic or predictive capabilities.
The performance tests mentioned are:
- Frequency Response Testing
- Kink Resistance Testing
- Blood Fill Time Testing
- ISO 80369-7 Testing
- ISO 11607-1 Testing
However, the specific acceptance criteria and detailed reported performance results for these tests are not explicitly listed in a tabular format, nor are sample sizes, ground truth methodologies, or expert involvement for these physical device performance tests detailed as one might expect for an AI/ML device. The document only states that the device "met all predetermined acceptance criteria for the above-listed performance tests."
Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML device as the input document describes a physical medical device.
