Intended Use

The IntraStent™ Biliary Stent is indicated as a palliative treatment for malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree.

Device Description

The IntraStent™ is a balloon expandable stainless steel stent with an open lattice design. The device is provided unmounted, to be manually crimped onto a noncompliant PTA balloon catheter for biliary stent expansion of choice by the physician. Upon balloon inflation the crimped stent expands to conform to the duct inner luminal surface and retains the expanded state upon balloon deflation.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, specifically the IntraStent™ Biliary Stent. This type of submission aims to demonstrate that a new device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving its safety and effectiveness through extensive clinical trials.

Therefore, the study described is not a typical clinical study with acceptance criteria in the usual sense (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy against a gold standard). Instead, the "acceptance criteria" here relate to demonstrating that the new device performs equivalently to existing devices through bench testing.

Here's a breakdown based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Meet same performance characteristics as predicate ITI Stent (K980290 & K991929)Bench tests were performed to verify this. (Specific performance characteristics are not detailed in the summary, but implied to be equivalent).
Non-pyrogenicPyrogenicity testing performed on a lot-to-lot basis supports the claim.
Identical materials to predicate stentsStated as identical materials (balloon expandable stainless steel stent with open lattice design, 316L stainless steel hypotube).
Identical indication for use as predicate stentsStated as "as a palliative treatment for malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree," which is the same as the predicate devices.
Identical technological characteristics to predicate stentsStated as having identical technological characteristics (e.g., laser-cut slots/apertures, cleaning, electro-polishing, packaging, sterilization method for the new device – ethylene oxide vs. CO60 for predicate Palmaz). Exception: new device is a smaller version allowing 4-7mm expanded diameter.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a numerical sample size. The testing involves "bench tests" and "pyrogenicity testing on a lot to lot basis." For bench tests of medical devices like stents, this typically means a representative number of units from manufacturing lots are tested.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. Bench testing is typically performed in a laboratory setting, and pyrogenicity testing would be performed on manufactured product lots. There is no mention of human clinical data or geographical origin.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts

This type of information is not applicable to this submission. The "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is the performance of the predicate devices. The validation is against engineering and material specifications and the performance of existing, approved devices, not against expert interpretation of data.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable. There is no "test set" in the sense of clinical cases requiring adjudication by experts.

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 is not applicable. This submission is for a physical medical device (biliary stent), not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance are irrelevant.

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

This is not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" for this submission is the established performance and characteristics of the legally marketed predicate devices (IntraTherapeutics, Inc. ITI Stent (K980290 & K991929) and Cordis Corporation PALMAZ™, PALMAZ-SCHATZ™, and PERFILEX™ Balloon-Expandable Biliary Stent (K905720, K911581, K964688, K980653)). The new device's performance is compared to these benchmarks through bench testing.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not a machine learning or AI-driven device.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

This is not applicable.

Summary Preparation Date: August 19, 1999

This summary is provide in compliance with section 513(I)(3)(A) of the Act and summarizes the safety and effectiveness information contained in this premarket notification submission.

The product trade and common name are IntraStent™ and biliary catheter, respectively, This is a Class II product classified under 21 CFR §8768.5010 as a biliary catheter and accessories. Substantial equivalence* is claimed to IntraTherapeutics, Inc. ITI Stent (K980290) and Cordis Corporation PALMAZ™, PALMAZ-SCHATZ™, and PERFILEX™ Balloon-Expandable Biliary Stent (K905720, K911581, K964688, K980653).

The IntraStent™ is a balloon expandable stainless steel stent with an open lattice design. The device is provided unmounted, to be manually crimped onto a noncompliant PTA balloon catheter for biliary stent expansion of choice by the physician. Upon balloon inflation the crimped stent expands to conform to the duct inner luminal surface and retains the expanded state upon balloon deflation.

The intended use is "as a palliative treatment for malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree".

Summary of technological characteristics: The modified IntraStent™ (models S12-12, S12-16, S12-26, S12-36, S12-56) provides a smaller version the ITI Stent (K980290 & K991929), allowing an expanded diameter of 4-7 mm. The IntraStent™ and predicate stents are balloon expandable stents fabricated by cutting an engineered series of slots/apertures into a 316L stainless steel hypotube. The IntraStent™ and predicate stent cuts are made with a laser. Both the IntraStent™ and predicate stents are cleaned, electro-polished, packaged in a double sterile barrier and sterilized. The IntraStent™ is ethylene oxide sterilized and the predicate Palmaz™ stent CO60. The IntraStent™ and predicate stents are provided unmounted, additionally the predicate Palmaz™ stent can be

provided premounted on a PTA balloon catheter. For the unmounted stent, the Palmaz™ stent offers a separate non-sterile crimping tool while the ITI product does not. Both the IntraStent™ and predicate stents include use of manual compression using one's thumbs and forefingers to compress the stent onto the delivery balloon catheter.

Bench tests were performed to verify that the IntraStent™ met the same performance characteristics as the predicate TTI Stent (K980290 & K991929). Pyrogenicity testing performed on a lot to lot basis supports the nonpyrogenic claim.

The IntraStent™ is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed ITI Stent and the Cordis Corporation/Johnson & Johnson PALMAZ™, PALMAZ-SCHATZ™, and PERFLEX™ Balloon-Expandable Biliary Stent as a palliative treatment for malignant strictures of the billiary tree. As demonstrated the IntraStent™ is identical in materials, indication for use and technological characteristics. Performance testing (bench) further supports a substantial equivalence claim. The collective evidence therefore provides assurance that the IntraStent™ meets the requirements that are considered acceptable for the intended use.
