Intended Use

The Genzyme Surgical Products Millennium Valve Introducer/Rotator Handle is indicated for use during open and minimally invasive cardiac valve surgeries. This instrument is indicated for surgical introduction and rotation of a Sulzer Carbomedics Low Profile Mitral Valve Sizer and Rotator.

Device Description

The Millennium Valve Introducer/Rotator Handle (Introducer/Rotator Handle) consists of a handle, flexible shaft, and tip. The Handle includes two knobs that control the orientation and position of the tip. The proximal knob tightens the cable that adjusts the tip between 0 and 90 degrees. The distal knob rotates the tip between 0 and 360 degrees.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Genzyme Surgical Products Millennium Valve Introducer/Rotator Handle. This type of submission is a regulatory pathway for medical devices that are substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria in the way a clinical trial or performance study for a diagnostic algorithm would.

The document primarily focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" based on operational and technological characteristics. Therefore, many of the requested categories are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

  • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated as performance metrics with thresholds (e.g., accuracy > 90%). The "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) submission like this are essentially demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on intended use, technological characteristics, and safety/effectiveness.
  • Reported Device Performance: The document provides a comparison of characteristics between the proposed device and predicate devices. This isn't "performance" in the statistical sense, but rather a functional comparison.
CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Proposed Device)
Indicated for minimally invasive cardiovascular surgeryMust be "Yes" to be equivalent to K960400Yes
Indicated for valve repair/replacementMust be "Yes" to be equivalent to K951368/K962154Yes
Materials: ASTM Surgical Stain steel and AluminumMust be "Yes" to be equivalent to K960400Yes
Sterility Status: ReusableMust be "Yes" to be equivalent to predicate devicesYes
Sterilization ProcessMust be "Steam" to be equivalent to predicate devicesSteam
Intended UseMust be equivalent or nearly equivalent to predicate devicesIndicated for surgical introduction and rotation of a Sulzer Carbomedics Low Profile Mitral Valve Sizer and Rotator. (Matches predicate devices' function)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not applicable to this 510(k) submission. There is no "test set" in the context of evaluating a diagnostic algorithm's performance. The submission relies on comparative analysis with predicate devices and descriptive information.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not applicable. There is no "ground truth" establishment in the context of a performance study for this type of mechanical surgical instrument.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not applicable.

5. 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

This information is not applicable. This device is a surgical instrument, not an AI or diagnostic tool designed to assist human readers.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable. This device is a surgical instrument, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

This information is not applicable.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" for this type of mechanical surgical instrument.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable.

Dear Ms. Robinson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or requlations.
