Intended Use

The MEADOX® ePTFE Vascular Grafts are designed to repair or replace peripheral arteries and to provide vascular access. Mid-Flex grafts are specifically indicated for vascular access, as are Stepped grafts which are designed to reduce the risk of steal syndrome. Externally Supported Grafts are used where kinking and compression resistance are desired.

Device Description

The ePTFESSENDOS, Vascular Graft is comprised of an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) core tube reinforced by a multi-filament PTFE yarn helically wound around the exterior of the tube. Externally supported grafts have a continuous PTFE spiral support coil wound around a portion of the graft.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a medical device, the Meadox Medicals, Inc., Expanded Reinforced PTFE Vascular Graft, and its characteristics, rather than an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI/ML device meets them (including details like sample size for test sets, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, and training set details) is not applicable to this document.

The document focuses on:

  • Device Description: Material composition (ePTFE core with PTFE yarn reinforcement, optional external support coil).
  • Biocompatibility Testing: Demonstrates the device passed various tests (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Systemic Toxicity, Sub-chronic Toxicity, Genotoxicity/Mutagenicity, Implantation, Hemocompatibility, Chronic Toxicity) in accordance with ISO-10993 standards.
  • Predicate Devices: Lists similar commercially available devices to establish substantial equivalence.
  • Performance Specifications: States that the device's performance specifications (e.g., Internodal Distance, Water Entry Pressure, Tensile Strengths, Burst Strength, Suture Retention, Kink Diameter, Crush Resistance) are "Equivalent to marketed products" (predicate devices).

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information as it pertains to AI/ML device evaluation, which is not described in this document.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The ePTFESSENDOS, Vascular Graft is comprised of an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) core tube reinforced by a multi-filament PTFE yarn helically wound around the exterior of the tube. Externally supported grafts have a continuous PTFE spiral support coil wound around a portion of the graft.

Biocompatibility testing on the ePTFESSEADS: Vascular Graft was performed on single-BIOCOMPATIBILITY: cycle steam sterilized grafts in accordance with the ISO-10993 standard for biological evaluation of medical devices. Carcmogenicity testing was not performed on ePTFESSEADOX grafts due to the established nontoxic properties of the graft materials. These tests indicate that the ePTFE str \box Vascular Graft is safe for its intended use

§ 870.3450 Vascular graft prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A vascular graft prosthesis is an implanted device intended to repair, replace, or bypass sections of native or artificial vessels, excluding coronary or cerebral vasculature, and to provide vascular access. It is commonly constructed of materials such as polyethylene terephthalate and polytetrafluoroethylene, and it may be coated with a biological coating, such as albumin or collagen, or a synthetic coating, such as silicone. The graft structure itself is not made of materials of animal origin, including human umbilical cords.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for Vascular Prostheses 510(k) Submissions.”
