The Aristotle 14 Guidewire is intended for general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices. The guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
The Aristotle 18 Guidewire is intended for general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices. The guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
The Aristotle 24 Guidewire is intended for general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices. The guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
The Zoom Wire 14 Guidewire is intended for general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices. The guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
The Aristotle Colossus Guidewire is intended for general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices. The guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
The Scientia Vascular's Aristotle 14, Aristotle 18, Aristotle 24, Zoom Wire 14, and Aristotle Colossus Guidewires ("the guidewires") are steerable guidewires with a shapeable tip to aid in accessing the neuro and peripheral vasculatures. The guidewires are supplied sterile, for single use only.
The distal portion of each guidewire's tip includes a radiopaque platinum wire marker coil to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. All guidewires have a hydrophilic polymer coating on the distal portion and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating on the proximal portion to reduce friction during manipulation in vessels.
The guidewires are provided with an accessory kit consisting of an introducer (to aid with the insertion of the guidewire into a catheter hub and/or a hemostasis valve), a torque device (to attach to the proximal portion of the guidewire to facilitate gripping and manipulation of the guidewire during use), and a shaping mandrel (to aid in shaping the flexible tip of the guidewire). These accessory devices are included to facilitate use of the guidewires and are not intended to contact the patient's body.
This document describes a 510(k) clearance for several guidewire devices, not an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, the information requested about acceptance criteria and studies related to AI/ML device performance (such as sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, etc.) is not applicable and cannot be extracted from this document.
The document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence for physical medical devices—guidewires—by comparing their technological characteristics and performing non-clinical performance tests (biocompatibility, sterilization, bench performance).
Here's a breakdown of why this document does not contain the requested information about an AI/ML device:
- Device Type: The clearance is for "Aristotle 14 Guidewire; Aristotle 18 Guidewire; Aristotle 24 Guidewire; Zoom Wire 14 Guidewire; Aristotle Colossus Guidewire" which are physical catheter guide wires. These are traditional medical devices, not software or AI/ML devices.
- Study Types: The studies described are "Biocompatibility," "Sterilization," and "Bench Performance Testing" (Visual Inspection, Coating Integrity, Corrosion Resistance, Agent Compatibility, Simulated Use, Particulate). These are mechanical and biological tests relevant to physical devices, not algorithmic performance.
- Missing Information: All points you requested regarding AI/ML performance are absent because they are not relevant to this type of device clearance:
- No acceptance criteria for AI performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC).
- No test or training set sample sizes for AI data.
- No information about experts establishing ground truth for images or data used by an AI.
- No adjudication methods.
- No MRMC comparative effectiveness studies.
- No standalone algorithm performance.
- No ground truth type related to AI (e.g., imaging labels, pathology).
The document explicitly states:
- "No animal testing was deemed necessary to support the substantial equivalence of the subject devices."
- "No clinical testing was deemed necessary to support the substantial equivalence of the subject devices."
This indicates that the clearance relies on non-clinical data and comparison to predicate devices, which is common for guidewires, especially when the changes are minor (like a different PTFE coating).
§ 870.1330 Catheter guide wire.
(a)
Identification. A catheter guide wire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a torque device that is manually operated, non-patient contacting, and intended to manipulate non-cerebral vascular guide wires, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.
