Dual Lumen 5Fr HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-251CM): Indicated for short-or long-term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, including but not limited to the administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; central venous pressure monitoring; and power injection of contrast media. Rated for maximum power injection flow rate of 4.0ml/s.
Dual Lumen 5Fr HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-252CM): Indicated for short-or long-term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, including but not limited to the administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; central venous pressure monitoring; and power injection of contrast media. Rated for maximum power injection flow rate of 5.0ml/s.
The HydroPICC catheters are a family of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) made of radiopaque hydrophilic material with a suture wing, Luer lock hub, and extension tubing made from materials commonly used in catheter manufacturing. The catheters are provided in kit configurations with the necessary accessories for placement in clinical environments. The maximum power injection flow rate for the lumen is indicated on the extension tube clamp.
HydroPICC has been shown to be effective in reducing thrombus accumulation and thrombotic occlusions. These reductions were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo models. Pre-clinical evaluations do not necessarily predict clinical performance with respect to thrombus formation. HydroPICC 5F Dual Lumen Catheter Components include: HydroPICC 5Fr Dual Lumen Catheter Assembly, Dispensing Tube, 2 Channel Clip, and Guidewire Introducer and Straightener.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to a medical device (PICC catheter), not an AI/Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) product. Therefore, the content of the letter does not contain the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and studies for AI/SaMD, such as:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (for AI metrics like sensitivity, specificity, etc.)
- Sample sizes used for test sets and data provenance (for image/data-driven AI)
- Number of experts and their qualifications for ground truth establishment
- Adjudication method for ground truth
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study results or effect sizes
- Standalone algorithm performance
- Type of ground truth used (e.g., pathology, outcomes data)
- Sample size for training set
- How ground truth for the training set was established
The 510(k) summary for the HydroPICC Catheter focuses on physical device performance characteristics. It mentions:
- Acceptance Criteria/Performance (Implied through testing): The device was tested to demonstrate acceptable performance for the modified power injection ratings and device length.
- Study Type: Non-clinical tests were performed, specifically "Power injection Cyclical and Static Burst testing as well as dimensional verification testing."
- Conclusion: These tests demonstrated that "the modifications to the power injection rating and the length do not adversely impact product performance."
In summary, this document does not contain the specific information you requested relating to the acceptance criteria and study proving performance for an AI/SaMD device. The information provided is for a physical medical device clearance based on engineering and performance bench testing.

Device Description Summary 21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)
The HydroPICC catheters are a family of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) made of radiopaque hydrophilic material with a suture wing, Luer lock hub, and extension tubing made from materials commonly used in catheter manufacturing. The catheters are provided in kit configurations with the necessary accessories for placement in clinical environments. The maximum power injection flow rate for the lumen is indicated on the extension tube clamp.
HydroPICC has been shown to be effective in reducing thrombus accumulation and thrombotic occlusions. These reductions were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo models. Pre-clinical evaluations do not necessarily predict clinical performance with respect to thrombus formation. HydroPICC 5F Dual Lumen Catheter Components include: HydroPICC 5Fr Dual Lumen Catheter Assembly, Dispensing Tube, 2 Channel Clip, and Guidewire Introducer and Straightener.
Intended Use/Indications for Use 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Dual Lumen 5Fr HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-251CM): Indicated for short-or long-term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, including but not limited to the administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; central venous pressure monitoring; and power injection of contrast media. Rated for maximum power injection flow rate of 4.0ml/s.

Rated for maximum power injection flow rate of 5.0ml/s.
Indications for Use Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The indications for use for the proposed and predicate devices is primarily the same. The only difference in indications for use is the
Page 6
power injection rating, specifically:
- Dual Lumen 5Fr HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-251CM): modify the indicated power injection flow rate from 3.5 mL/s to 4.0 mL/s.
- Dual Lumen 5Fr HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-252CM): modify the indicated power injection flow rate from 3.5 mL/s to 5.0 mL/s, modify the length from 55cm to 45cm
The change of the power injection rating does not introduce no new or different questions of safety and effectiveness, and testing has demonstrated that the proposed device will perform as intended.
Technological Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
This 510(k) is being submitted for a change to the indications for use for the Access Vascular Dual Lumen 5Fr HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-251CM) to modify the power injection rating and to add an additional model of the 5F HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-252CM) to decrease the length to 45cm and modify the power injection rating. The submission includes in vitro data demonstrating acceptable performance of the devices with the modified power injection rating and device length. The specific modifications are:
- Dual Lumen 5Fr HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-251CM): modify the indicated power injection flow rate from 3.5 mL/s to 4.0 mL/s.
- Dual Lumen 5Fr HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-252CM): modify the indicated power injection flow rate from 3.5 mL/s to 5.0 mL/s, modify the length from 55cm to 45cm
The Dual Lumen 5Fr HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-251CM), shares the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices identified. These characteristics include design, material, chemical composition, and principle of operation. We confirm that there have been no changes in the design, materials, form, fit, or function of the devices compared to the predicate devices identified in the submission. The devices maintain the same specifications, performance characteristics, and intended use as the predicate device.
The Dual Lumen 5F HydroPICC Catheter (PICC-252CM) shares the same general technological characteristics as the predicate device identified. The only change is the length of the catheter, from 55cm of the predicate to 45cm for the proposed HydroPICC PICC-252CM. There are no changes to the material, chemical composition, principle of operation, and intended use.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
Power injection Cyclical and Static Burst testing as well as dimensional verification testing were performed to demonstrate that the modifications to the power injection rating and the length do not adversely impact product performance.
§ 880.5970 Percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter.
(a)
Identification. A percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings, such as luer hubs, and accessories that facilitate the placement of the device. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for long-term use of 30 days or more, and it is intended for administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; and monitoring blood pressure and temperature. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, composite materials, or any combination of these materials and may be of single or multiple lumen design.(b)
