(86 days)
The HydroMID 5F Dual Lumen Midline Catheter is indicated for short term access (< 30 days) to the peripheral venous access system for intravenous therapy, including but not limited to, the administration of fluids, medications, and the sampling of blood and blood products.
Rated for maximum power injection flow rate of 6ml/s.
The HydroMID catheter is a 5 French, dual lumen, midline catheter comprised of a radiopaque, hydrophilic catheter with a suture wing, Luer lock hub, and extension tubing made from materials commonly used in the manufacture of catheters. Catheters are provided packaged in kit configurations with the appropriate accessories for placement in the respective clinical environments.
HydroMID has been shown to be effective in reducing thrombus accumulation and thrombotic occlusions. Reduction of thrombus accumulation and thrombotic occlusions were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo models. Pre-clinical in vivo evaluations do not necessarily predict clinical performance with respect to thrombus formation.
Catheter and accessories are supplied sterile. Product is sterilized by ethylene oxide (EO) except where labeled otherwise. Product should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place. The HydroMID Catheter is supplied in a dry state and must be hydrated before use.
The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the HydroMID 5F Dual Lumen Midline Catheter. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through bench testing. The document does not contain information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/human reader study or clinical performance with ground truth established by experts/pathology/outcomes data.
The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this document refer to engineering and performance bench testing of a physical medical device (a catheter), not a medical device software or AI algorithm. Therefore, many of the requested categories in the prompt (e.g., number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC study, standalone algorithm performance, training set details) are not applicable to this type of device submission.
However, I can extract the information relevant to the device's performance and the "acceptance criteria" as described in the 510(k) summary for this physical medical device.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Bench Testing):
The document states: "All tests passed the acceptance criteria specified for both the subject and predicate devices." It does not provide specific numerical acceptance criteria or numerical reported performance values for each test. Instead, it lists the types of tests conducted.
| Test Type | Acceptance Criteria (General Statement) | Reported Device Performance (General Statement) |
|---|---|---|
| Power injection flow rate | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed; supports a 6ml/s rating (higher than predicate's 3.5ml/s). |
| Static burst strength | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed. |
| Catheter length | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed. |
| Dimensional verification | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed. |
| Catheter kink/resistance | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed. |
| Tensile (tubing and joint) | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed. |
| Particulate | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed. |
| Packaging distribution | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed. |
| Sterility | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed. (Sterilized by ethylene oxide, as stated in Device Description) |
| MR compatibility | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard (MRI Conditional). | Passed. (MRI Conditional) |
| Shelf-life | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to meet an acceptable standard. | Passed. (Performance demonstrated at T=0 and over shelf life). |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: The document states: "Testing was identical to the predicate in standard conformance, sample size, methods, and acceptance criteria." However, the specific numerical sample size for each test is not provided.
- Data Provenance: The tests are described as "Bench Data" conducted internally by the manufacturer, Access Vascular Inc. The country of origin for the data is not explicitly stated, but the company address is Billerica, MA, which implies the testing was conducted in the United States. The data is prospective in the sense that it was generated for this 510(k) submission to demonstrate the performance of the new device design.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts:
- Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device. Ground truth for its performance is established by engineering and material science testing against predefined specifications, not by human expert review of images or clinical outcomes in the typical sense of AI/image analysis.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not Applicable. See point 3. Testing results are objective measurements against established engineering standards.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs. without AI assistance:
- Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device (catheter), not a software or AI device intended to assist human readers.
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:
- Engineering Specifications and Standardized Test Methods: The "ground truth" for this device's performance revolves around its physical and functional properties meeting predetermined engineering specifications and validated test methods (e.g., pressure resistance, flow rates, dimensional accuracy, material properties like tensile strength and kink resistance, sterility, and MRI compatibility). These are objective criteria, not based on expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in a clinical trial sense.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device; there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The device design and materials are based on established engineering principles and prior device iterations.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not Applicable. See point 8.

Indications for Use - There is no change to the Indications for Use of the proposed and predicate HydroMID Product Family of Midline Catheters (K220772) devices. The Indications for Use remains identical to the previously cleared predicate device.
Classification - There is no change to the classification of the proposed and predicate HydroMID Product Family of Midline Catheters (K220772) devices. The classification remains identical to the previously cleared predicate device.
Accessories - There is no change to the accessories provided with the proposed and predicate HydroMID Product Family of Midline Catheters (K220772) devices. The accessories remain identical to the previously cleared predicate device.
Design - While most of the design features of the predicate device are the same with the proposed devices, there are minor changes to the design of the proposed device with respect to the previouslycleared HydroMID Product Family of Midline Catheters (K220772). Any design differences are explained below.
{8}------------------------------------------------
Materials – There is no change to the materials of the proposed and predicate HydroMID Product Family of Midline Catheters (K220772) devices. The materials remain identical to the previously cleared predicate device.
Sterility - There is no change to the sterilization or sterility of the proposed and predicate HydroMID Product Family of Midline Catheters (K220772) devices. The sterilization and sterility remain identical to the previously cleared predicate device.
Principles of Operation –There is no change to the principles of the proposed and predicate HydroMID Product Family of Midline Catheters (K220772) devices. The principles of operation remain identical to the previously cleared predicate device.
Differences
Power Injection Rating - The reference device indicates a power injection rating of 3.5 mL/s, while the subject device specifies 6.0 mL/s. Performance testing at T=0 and over the shelf life demonstrates the difference does not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness by this modification.
Design - There are changes to the design of the proposed device with respect to the predicate HydroMID Product Family of Midline Catheters (K220772) devices. Those changes are:
- Change from 4 French outside diameter to 5 French outside diameter
- Add second lumen, requiring a second Clamp ID Tag and luer fitting.
- . Change lumen cross-section from circular 1mm diameter to "D"-shaped of similar cross-sectional area
The design changes from a 4Fr to a 5Fr catheter OD, an additional lumen and a different cross-sectional shape from circular to "D" shape do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. The power injection rating, which was tested as part of the verification of the product design. The French size is equivalent to the reference device. The addition of a second lumen is identical to that of the reference device. The need for a second Clamp ID Tag and luer fitting is identical to the reference device, which also includes a second lumen. No luer connection testing was required with the addition of this second luer fitting, as the second luer fitting is identical to the one used on the reference device, which was cleared per K213550. Both luminal area values are close in dimension and are therefore substantially equivalent. The lumen cross-section is identical to that on the reference device.
The reference device was used to leverage the specification and methods to demonstrate the differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness..
Bench Data
The following tests were conducted to show substantial equivalence to the predicate device:
- . Power injection flow rate
- . Static burst strength
- Catheter length
- Dimensional verification
- Catheter kink/ resistance ●
{9}------------------------------------------------
- Tensile (tubing and joint) ●
- Particulate
- Packaging distribution
- . Sterility
- MR compatibility .
- Shelf-life
Testing was identical to the predicate in standard conformance, sample size, methods, and acceptance criteria.
All testing was completed with final, finished devices that represent commercial product. All tests passed the acceptance criteria specified for both the subject and predicate devices. The results of the testing show that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Conclusion
The differences in technological characteristics do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. There is no change to the intended use of the subject device compared to the predicate device. This 510(k) proposes a modification to the power injection rating specification similar to that of the reference device (HydroPICC- 251 5Fr Dual Lumen K213550). Performance data provided in this submission demonstrates that the modification of the power injection rating is supported, and the subject and predicate devices can be considered substantially equivalent.
