Intended Use

The Intramed SBO System is intended for the intravascular delivery and placement of occlusion coils into tributaries during in situ saphenous vein bypass graft procedures. The angioscope within the Introducer Catheter is intended to be used for vessel visualization, specifically to visualize the lumen of the saphenous vein during the in situ procedures.

Device Description

The Intramed SBO System, like the CRI Occlusion System, was developed for the intravascular delivery and placement of occlusion coils into tributaries during in situ saphenous vein bypass graft procedures. The system includes (1) a Coil Delivery Catheter, which is preloaded with an occlusion coil, and (2) an Introducer Catheter, which is used to visualize the side branches and mechanically direct the Coil Delivery Catheter into the side branch for occlusion.

The Coil Delivery Catheter consists of a flexible catheter shaft with an occlusion coil positioned in the distal portion of the catheter lumen. A guide wire is contained within the inner shaft immediately proximal to the occlusion coil. At the proximal end of the catheter, this guide wire connects to a plunger mechanism. When the plunger is depressed. the quide wire pushes the coil out of the catheter and into the side branch for occlusion.

The occlusion coil provided with the Intramed SBO System is purchased from Cook Incorporated. This product is a preamendment device that has been commercially distributed for vessel occlusion/embolizations. The use of this coil in the Intramed SBO System is within the intended use of the occlusion coils as marketed by Cook Incorporated.

The Introducer Catheter has a composite shaft with two lumens. One lumen contains a miniature diameter angioscope with self-contained optics for visualization during the procedure. The other lumen is used to pass the Coil Delivery Catheter to the site of the side branch to be occluded. The catheter has an actuator handle to advance or retract the angioscope by a small amount to provide visualization of the vessel when the angioscope is in the extended position and visualization of the tributary when in the retracted position. The proximal end of the catheter consists of a coil catheter receiver as well as an eyepiece and light source connector for the angioscope.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Intramed Side Branch Occlusion System and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not contain a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the format requested.

The document discusses non-clinical testing (biocompatibility, functional/bench, cadaver testing) and a summary of clinical testing, but it does not provide:

  • A table of specific acceptance criteria with quantifiable metrics.
  • Reported device performance against those specific criteria.
  • Details about sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or adjudication methods for clinical studies.
  • Information regarding MRMC studies or effect sizes.
  • Information about standalone algorithm performance (as this is a medical device, not an AI algorithm).
  • Details about training sets or how their ground truth was established.

However, I can extract the information that is present in the document about the testing performed, even if it doesn't meet all your requested categories.

Here's a summary of the available information:


Acceptance Criteria and Study to Prove Device Meets Acceptance Criteria

The provided 510(k) notification for the Intramed Side Branch Occlusion System does not explicitly list quantifiable acceptance criteria in a table format, nor does it present a detailed study with specific metrics to demonstrate the device meets such criteria.

Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and describes various non-clinical and clinical evaluations performed to ensure safety and effectiveness. The "acceptance criteria" are implied by the successful completion of these tests and their findings of biocompatibility, proper function, and comparable performance to predicate devices.

Summary of Reported Testing and Findings:

Acceptance Criterion (Implied)Reported Device Performance
1. BiocompatibilityCatheters and their materials were found to be biocompatible and nontoxic and acceptable for their intended use, in accordance with ISO 10993 standard for Transient Contact Duration, Blood Path Direct, Externally Communicating Devices.
2. Functional/Bench PerformanceTesting demonstrated that the product meets its performance requirements (specific requirements are not detailed).
3. Performance in Saphenous Veins (Cadaver Study)Studies demonstrated that the Intramed SBO System visualizes and identifies side branches and can place coils in appropriate side branches.
4. Clinical Safety and Effectiveness (vs. Predicate)Clinical evaluation showed that the Intramed SBO System is as safe and effective as the CRI system for the delivery of occlusion coils during in situ saphenous vein bypass surgery.
5. Substantial Equivalence to Predicate DevicesThe device was determined substantially equivalent to the CRI Vessel Occlusion System/CRI Occlusion Coil (K914523) and the Intramed™ .7 mm Passive Angioscope (K894459) based on components, mode of operation, intended use, and technological characteristics, despite some differences in materials and mechanics (e.g., coil types, mechanical vs. steerable catheter, mechanical vs. hydraulic ejection, integral angioscope). The differences were deemed not to affect intended use or overall operation. (This is a regulatory "acceptance criterion" rather than a direct performance metric).

Details Not Provided in the Document:

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not specified for any of the described tests (biocompatibility, functional, cadaver, or clinical evaluation).
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not specified.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable and/or not specified for the type of testing described (which largely focuses on device function and clinical equivalence rather than diagnostic performance assessed by multiple readers).
  4. 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: Not applicable, as this is a medical device for intervention, not an AI diagnostic tool.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this is a medical device, not an AI algorithm.
  6. The type of ground truth used:
    • For biocompatibility: Standardized testing protocols against ISO 10993.
    • For functional/bench testing: Device specifications/requirements.
    • For cadaver testing: Direct observation of visualization, identification, and coil placement.
    • For clinical evaluation: "Safe and effective as the CRI system" implies direct comparison and clinical outcomes relative to the predicate, but the specific metrics for "safety" and "effectiveness" (e.g., complication rates, successful occlusion rates) and how they constituted ground truth are not detailed. It's likely based on established clinical practice and comparison to the predicate device's known performance.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is a medical device, not an AI algorithm.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as this is a medical device, not an AI algorithm.

D. Device Description

The Intramed SBO System, like the CRI Occlusion System, was developed for the intravascular delivery and placement of occlusion coils into tributaries during in situ saphenous vein bypass graft procedures. The system includes (1) a Coil Delivery Catheter, which is preloaded with an occlusion coil, and (2) an Introducer Catheter, which is used to visualize the side branches and mechanically direct the Coil Delivery Catheter into the side branch for occlusion.

The Coil Delivery Catheter consists of a flexible catheter shaft with an occlusion coil positioned in the distal portion of the catheter lumen. A guide wire is contained within the inner shaft immediately proximal to the occlusion coil. At the proximal end of the catheter, this guide wire connects to a plunger mechanism. When the plunger is depressed. the quide wire pushes the coil out of the catheter and into the side branch for occlusion.

The occlusion coil provided with the Intramed SBO System is purchased from Cook Incorporated. This product is a preamendment device that has been commercially distributed for vessel occlusion/embolizations. The use of this coil in the Intramed SBO System is within the intended use of the occlusion coils as marketed by Cook Incorporated.

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

The Introducer Catheter has a composite shaft with two lumens. One lumen contains a miniature diameter angioscope with self-contained optics for visualization during the procedure. The other lumen is used to pass the Coil Delivery Catheter to the site of the side branch to be occluded. The catheter has an actuator handle to advance or retract the angioscope by a small amount to provide visualization of the vessel when the angioscope is in the extended position and visualization of the tributary when in the retracted position. The proximal end of the catheter consists of a coil catheter receiver as well as an eyepiece and light source connector for the angioscope.

E. Intended Use of Device

The Intramed SBO System is intended for the intravascular delivery and placement of occlusion coils into tributaries during in situ saphenous vein bypass graft procedures. The angioscope within the Introducer Catheter is intended to be used for vessel visualization, specifically to visualize the lumen of the saphenous vein during the in situ procedures.

F. Intended Use of Predicate Device

The CRI Vessel Occlusion System is intended for the intravascular delivery and placement of occlusion coils into tributaries during in situ saphenous vein bypass graft procedures. The Intramed . 7 mm Passive Angioscope is intended to be used for visualization of peripheral vasculature.

G. Technological Comparison of the Intramed SBO System and the Predicate Device

The Intramed SBO System is similar to the CRI System in the type of system components and mode of operation. Both systems include (1) a coil, (2) a delivery catheter through which the coil is inserted into the tributary and (3) a catheter through which the coil delivery catheter and coil are directed/steered into the tributary. The systems are both used intraoperatively and the use of both systems entails locating the tributary, directing the coil delivery catheter into the tributary and injecting the coil into the tributary. The coils in both systems are intended to cause a thrombus to form in the tributary, thereby occluding the tributary and preventing formation of an arteriovenous fistula in the graffed vessel. Overall, the mode of operation is the same for the two products.

The Intramed® SBO and CRI systems have some differences in materials and The Intrained SDO and Cril systems nave some and of metal brithed fands and

The Intramed" SBO System mechanically directs the coil; that is, the tip of the Introducer Catheter is angioscopically aimed at the tributary so that the path of the Coil Delivery Catheter is directed into the tributary. The CRI system utilizes a steerable catheter whose tip is manipulated via

a control system, thereby aiming or steering the delivery catheter into the tributary. In addition, the CRI coils are ejected hydraulically, while the Intramed SBO System catheter injects the coil mechanically via a guide wire/plunger. Finally, as indicated previously, the Intramed SBO System contains an integral angioscope that aids in both locating the side branch and in directing the delivery catheter and coil into the side branch. The CRI system requires the use of an external angioscopic device or fluoroscopy in locating the side branches and aiming the delivery catheter. These differences in design of the systems do not affect the intended use or indication for use of the product, nor do they affect the similarities in the general operation of the systems. As indicated previously, both systems function similarly; the introducer catheter passes down the saphenous vein, directs the coil delivery catheter into the side branches of the vein and occlusion coils are deployed through the delivery catheters into the side branches.

The angioscope used in the Intramed SBO System and the Intramed® .7 mm Passive Angioscope both consist of light and image transmitting borosilicate fiber bundles contained within the angioscope body. The image is transmitted through the fibers to an eyepiece or focusing coupler and a camera system. The technology of the two products is equivalent as are the materials, device characteristics and intended use.
