This FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to a medical device, not an AI/ML software. Therefore, the detailed acceptance criteria and study information requested, which are typical for AI/ML device evaluations, are not applicable in this context.
The document discusses the CPS Locator 3D Delivery Catheter, a physical medical device. The 510(k) process for such devices focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, primarily through performance testing (bench testing, biocompatibility, sterilization, etc.) and, in this case, some real-world usage data. It does not involve AI/ML performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or ground truth established by expert consensus for diagnostic accuracy.
Here's a breakdown of why many of your requested points are not applicable, followed by the information that can be extracted:
- Acceptance Criteria Table & Reported Performance: Not available in an AI/ML context. The document focuses on demonstrating the device's functional integrity and equivalence to a predicate.
- Sample Size (Test Set) & Data Provenance: Not applicable for an AI/ML test set. The clinical data mentioned is retrospective/real-world observational data on the previously cleared device.
- Number of Experts & Qualifications (Ground Truth): Not applicable as there's no diagnostic AI/ML algorithm requiring ground truth establishment by experts.
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable.
- MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study: Not applicable.
- Standalone Performance: Not applicable as it's a physical catheter, not an AI/ML algorithm.
- Type of Ground Truth: Not applicable. The "ground truth" for a physical device is its functional performance and safety during use.
- Sample Size (Training Set): Not applicable as there's no AI/ML model to train.
- How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established: Not applicable.

1.8 Clinical Data
As part of the postmarket surveillance process at CenterPoint, and to obtain additional data for marketing purposes, CenterPoint has gathered post-market, and real world data collected from patient cases in which the device was used in accordance with the labelling and indications for use previously reviewed and cleared by the FDA (K230363). The clinical data summarized within this report includes:
-
Post market study conducted by CenterPoint in which physicians reported on various detailed aspects on the use of the marketed device. This study did not involve using patient-level data, but was a real-world observational study conducted with surveys from various physicians at multiple US centers. There were no predetermined endpoints in the study, as the study was used to collect physician evaluations on various characteristics of device performance in a real-world clinical setting in accordance with the cleared indications for use. There were no reported adverse events or unexpected complications reported during this study. Minor blood loss related to use of the device was reported by 5 of 42 physicians included in the study. 100% of the evaluations reported successful delivery of ancillary device (e.g. lead) to target location, including a majority (31/44) of the cases reporting specifically targeting LBB/LBBA for lead delivery.
-
Real-world evidence collected during use of the cleared device at four (US) centers during LBBAP implant procedures. The data was collected as part of two retrospective observational studies used to publish abstracts and presentations for the Heart Rhythm Society conference. In one study, the LBBAP was successfully achieved in 95% of patients, demonstrating successful lead delivery to the LBBA using the CPS Locator 3D Delivery Catheter. There were no reported complications or adverse events throughout the course of the study. The other study reported on 66 patients who underwent successful lead implantation procedures, including 49 patients in which LBBAP was successfully achieved with aid of the CPS Locator 3D Delivery Catheter. There were no reported complications or adverse events throughout the course of the study.
-
Publication in HeartRhythm aimed to analyze the feasibility, safety and short-term follow-up of a traditional defibrillator lead at the LBBAP location. This publication was included as part of the clinical literature summary included in the submission. The publication reported a defibrillator lead was successfully deployed in 7 of 8 patients who underwent lead implantation procedures targeting LBBA. In one (1) patient, the lead was not successfully delivered due to characteristics of the patient anatomy (i.e. fibrotic septum). There were no reported adverse events or complications during the study.
In accordance with 21 CFR 812.2, Paragraph (c), Section (2), all of the clinical data reported herein is exempted from the applicable requirements of clinical investigations, as the device (CPS Locator 3D Delivery Catheter) was introduced into commercial distribution after FDA determined substantial equivalence (K230363) to a device in commercial distribution, and was used in accordance with the indications in the labeling FDA previously reviewed (K230363). As
Page 10
Page 6 of 6
the real world data described above are exempted from applicable clinical investigation requirements, this report does not include a Financial Certification or Disclosure, registration on ClinicalTrials.gov (nor an associated Certification of Compliance), Institutional Review Board approvals, nor any other related Statement of Compliance or other documentation to demonstrate compliance with 21 CFR parts 50, 56 and 812.
The clinical data demonstrates that there are no new questions of safety and effectiveness when the CPS Locator 3D Delivery Catheter is used for lead delivery in the LBBA specifically, demonstrating the specific Indications for Use are substantially equivalent to the currently cleared general Indications for Use (K230363).
1.9 Conclusions
Based on the similarity of the subject and predicate devices in terms of the intended use, principle of operation and overall technological characteristics, the subject Delivery Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K230363).
