The Ruby XL System is indicated for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature.

Device Description

The Ruby XL System is comprised of a platinum embolization coil attached to a composite delivery pusher, and the Penumbra Detachment Handle. The coil/delivery pusher is packaged separately from the Penumbra Detachment Handle.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Pre-Market Notification for the Ruby XL System, a vascular embolization device. This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, not for proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria based on a clinical or performance study in the way an AI/ML device would.

Therefore, the requested information regarding "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of an AI/ML device (e.g., sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, MRMC study, standalone performance) is not applicable to this document.

This submission focuses on bench-top performance testing, biocompatibility, and shelf-life, establishing substantial equivalence based on the device's physical characteristics, materials, and mechanical performance compared to a predicate embolization coil system. No AI/ML components are mentioned or evaluated in this regulatory filing.

Here's a breakdown of what is provided and why the AI/ML-specific questions are not applicable:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • This document does not present acceptance criteria in the typical sense of numerical thresholds for AI/ML performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC). Instead, it lists various bench-top performance tests (Dimensional/Visual, Packaging, Radiopacity, Friction, Fatigue Resistance, Torsional Resistance, Stiffness, Simulated Use, Corrosion, Tensile, MRI Compatibility) and states that these tests were "used in support of the subject device to determine substantial equivalence."
  • No specific reported numerical performance values are given for these tests beyond the general statement that they substantiate the device's performance.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not applicable as no AI/ML test set was used. The "test set" here would refer to the physical devices undergoing bench-top testing. Data provenance is not relevant for physical device testing in this context.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable. Ground truth, in the AI/ML context, refers to expert labeling or an objective standard against which an algorithm's output is compared. For this device, "ground truth" would be the established physical and mechanical properties and material standards. No human experts are described as defining a "ground truth" for a test set of images or data to evaluate an algorithm.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable. Adjudication methods are relevant for resolving discrepancies in expert labeling for AI/ML ground truth, which is not part of this submission.

5. 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. This is a physical medical device (embolization coil system), not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive tool. MRMC studies are not relevant.

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

  • No. This is a physical medical device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not applicable for an AI/ML context. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established engineering and material science standards and physical measurements.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable as no AI/ML algorithm was trained.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable as no AI/ML algorithm was trained.

Summary based on the provided document:

The Ruby XL System is a medical device (vascular embolization device), not a software/AI/ML product. The 510(k) submission demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Penumbra Coil System and POD System) based on:

  • Indications for Use: The subject device is indicated for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature, which is a subset of the predicate's indications.
  • Design and Materials: The document states "SAME" for various material and construction attributes, coil dimensions, detachment mechanism, sterilization method, and method of supply, indicating identical or highly similar characteristics to the predicate.
  • Non-Clinical Safety and Performance Data: Bench-top testing (e.g., Dimensional, Packaging, Radiopacity, Friction, Fatigue, Stiffness, Simulated Use, Corrosion, Tensile, MRI Compatibility) and Biocompatibility testing were performed. These tests are the "study" that substantiates the device's performance and safety, leading to the determination of substantial equivalence. The document explicitly states "No animal or clinical study was conducted as bench testing was determined sufficient for verification and validation purposes."

Therefore, the requested AI/ML specific criteria and study details are not relevant to this 510(k) submission for a physical medical device.

Trade/Device Name: Ruby XL System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.3300 Regulation Name: Vascular Embolization Device Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: KRD Dated: January 10, 2025 Received: January 13, 2025

Dear Samyukta Rangachari:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

FDA's substantial equivalence determination also included the review and clearance of your Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP). Under section 515C(b)(1) of the Act, a new premarket notification is not required for a change to a device cleared under section 510(k) of the Act, if such change is consistent with an established PCCP granted pursuant to section 515C(b)(2) of the Act. Under 21 CFR 807.81(a)(3), a new

{1}------------------------------------------------

premarket notification is required if there is a major change or modification in the intended use of a device, or if there is a change or modification in a device that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, e.g., a significant change or modification in design, material, chemical composition, energy source, or manufacturing process. Accordingly, if deviations from the established PCCP result in a major change or modification in the intended use of the device, or result in a change or modification in the device that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the a new premarket notification would be required consistent with section 515C(b)(1) of the Act and 21 CFR 807.81(a)(3). Failure to submit such a premarket submission would constitute adulteration and misbranding under sections 501(f)(1)(B) and 502(o) of the Act, respectively.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rue"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
