Device Description

Not Found

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for the LeMaitre Irrigation Catheter. It states the device's substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device for its indicated uses. However, this type of regulatory document does not contain the detailed information required to answer your request about acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance.

Specifically, the document does not include:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  • Information on a test set (sample size, data provenance).
  • Number or qualifications of experts for ground truth.
  • Adjudication method.
  • Results from a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study.
  • Results from a standalone algorithm performance study.
  • Type of ground truth used.
  • Sample size for the training set.
  • How ground truth for the training set was established.

This document is solely a regulatory approval based on the comparison to a predicate device, not a performance study report. To obtain the kind of information you are looking for, one would typically need access to the technical documentation submitted to the FDA, such as preclinical or clinical study reports, which are not usually made public in this format.

Dear Mr. Kamke:

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 Regulations, 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 requlation (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 requlatory 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 regulations.
