Intended Use

The Frontal Sinus Trephination Cannula is indicated for patients with sinus disease that require frontal sinus irrigation or repeated frontal sinus irrigation for up to thirty days.

Device Description

The device consists of a cannula and an occlusion plug.

AI/ML Overview

This medical device submission for the "Frontal Sinus Trephination Cannula" is a 510(k) premarket notification, which establishes substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices rather than proving safety and effectiveness through clinical trials with acceptance criteria. As such, the provided text does not contain any information about:

  • Acceptance criteria or reported device performance
  • Sample sizes or data provenance for test sets
  • Number or qualifications of experts for ground truth
  • Adjudication methods
  • MRMC comparative effectiveness studies
  • Standalone algorithm performance
  • Type of ground truth used
  • Sample size or ground truth establishment for training sets

The document focuses on:

  1. Device Description: It details the device (cannula and occlusion plug).
  2. Intended Use: Specifies its indication for frontal sinus irrigation for up to thirty days.
  3. Substantial Equivalence (Predicate Devices): It identifies two predicate devices:
    • Medtronic Xomed Frontal Sinus Mini-Trephine Set irrigation cannula (for the trephination aspect).
    • Vansonnenberg Chest Drainage Tubes (K925176) and common peritoneal catheters (for the short-term indwelling aspect as an introduction/drainage catheter).
    • Bard Medical's Catheter Plug (for the occlusion plug).
  4. Regulatory Classification: States the device's classification as Class I with specific product codes (77KBF, 79GBX).
  5. FDA Clearance Letter: The letter from the FDA confirms substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices and permits the device to be marketed, subject to general controls.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria, study details, and performance metrics because this type of information is not typically part of a 510(k) submission focused on substantial equivalence for a Class I device.

Substantial Equivalence 8.0

The Frontal Sinus Irrigation Cannula is substantially equivalent to the Medtronic Xomed Frontal Sinus Mini-Trephine Set irrigation cannula.

The short-term indwelling aspect of the device is substantially equivalent in intended use to introduction/drainage catheters as defined in 21 CFR 878.4200 which provide shortterm access to body cavities. Predicates include common peritoneal catheters and chest drainage tubes including the Vansonnenberg Chest Drainage Tubes as described in K925176.

The occlusion plug provided to close the cannula lumen between irrigation procedures is substantially equivalent in design and intended use to the Catheter Plug marketed by Bard Medical.

Dear Mr. Sargent:

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 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 regulations.
