The Edwards eSheath Optima introducer set is indicated for the introduction and removal of compatible devices used with Edwards transcatheter heart valves.
The Edwards eSheath Optima introducer set (herein referred to as Optima set), model 14000ES16, consists of a sheath, vessel dilator, introducer, and in-sheath dilator. The Optima set is available with inner sheath diameter of 16 French and is used to facilitate introduction and removal of compatible devices used with the Edwards transcatheter heart valve (THV) systems into/from the vasculature.
The sheath shaft is composed of two layers; as devices are passed through the sheath, the inner member expands by sliding against itself while the outer jacket expands by stretching radially, temporarily expanding the shaft diameter. A radiopaque marker on the distal end indicates the location of the sheath tip in the body and a hydrophilic coating on the sheath tubing exterior facilitates introduction into the vessel. The sheath tubing mates with a housing, which holds three seals to provide hemostasis, and an extension tube with stopcock for flushing.
The vessel dilator is used to dilate the vessel prior to sheath insertion. The introducer is inserted into the sheath hub and locked prior to insertion into the body over a guidewire. The in-sheath dilator is used to expand the sheath during device use at the physician's discretion. The introducer, vessel dilator, and in-sheath dilator are radiopaque to improve fluoroscopic visibility intra-procedure.
The 29mm loader (included with the Edwards delivery system) features a disc valve within the loader cap assembly to help maintain hemostasis, and a scored perforation on the loader tube allowing the loader tubing to be "peeled away" and removed to utilize the full working length of the inserted device.
The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device called the Edwards eSheath Optima Introducer Set. It outlines the regulatory process and asserts the device's substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that an AI/software device meets those criteria, as typically seen in AI/ML medical device submissions.
The document pertains to a physical medical device (catheter introducer) and its non-clinical performance testing. The "summary of non-clinical testing" section lists various engineering and biocompatibility tests performed on the device itself, not on an AI algorithm.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI/software device.
- Sample sizes, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, training set details, or how training ground truth was established, because this information is not present in the provided document regarding an AI/software device.
The document is about a physical medical device and its non-clinical (engineering and biocompatibility) testing, not an AI/ML-based device.
