The purpose of this 510(k) is to add an additional statement to the indications for use.

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter (K243458) details the HydroPICC and HydroMID catheters. The focus of this submission is to add a statement to the indications for use regarding the anti-thrombogenic properties of the MIMIX® Technology incorporated into these catheters. The acceptance criteria and supporting studies are described below:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The core acceptance criterion for this 510(k) submission is to demonstrate that the expanded Indications for Use statement, specifically concerning the anti-thrombogenic properties of the MIMIX® Technology, does not introduce new questions of safety or effectiveness and is supported by non-clinical data. The reported device performance is based on in vitro studies.

Note: The FDA letter explicitly states: "The clinical impact has not been evaluated in human clinical trials. This device is not intended for the treatment of existing vein thrombosis." This indicates that the acceptance criteria are based solely on in vitro performance for the anti-thrombogenic claims, not on in vivo clinical outcomes.

Study Details for Acceptance Criteria

The provided document does not fully delineate separate "test sets" for the in vitro studies in the way one might for an AI/algorithm-based device. Instead, the "studies" themselves are the performance evaluations for the stated acceptance criteria.

1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

   • The document lists several in vitro tests.
   • Sample Size: The specific number of devices or experimental replicates used in each in vitro test is not explicitly stated in the provided text.
   • Data Provenance: All studies are indicated as "in vitro" (meaning conducted in a test tube, culture dish, or other controlled environment outside of a living organism). The country of origin is not specified but is presumably where Access Vascular Inc. conducts its research and development or contracts with testing facilities.

2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

   • For in vitro studies of this nature (evaluating properties like thrombus accumulation), the "ground truth" is typically established by the experimental setup, validated measurement techniques, and potentially statistical analysis.
   • No specific number of experts or their qualifications are mentioned as having established "ground truth" for these in vitro tests in the context of expert consensus, as might be the case for image-based diagnostic devices. The results are based on objective physical or biological measurements.

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

   • Not applicable. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are typically used in clinical studies or studies involving subjective expert review (e.g., radiology image interpretation) to resolve discrepancies in independent assessments. As these are in vitro physical/biological tests, such adjudication methods are not relevant or mentioned.

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. This device is a medical catheter, not an AI software/algorithm requiring human reader interpretation. No MRMC study was conducted or is relevant for this device.

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

   • Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device (catheter) with a material technology, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, "standalone" algorithm performance is not a relevant concept for this submission.

6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

   • The ground truth for the in vitro studies described (e.g., "Assessment of PICC Catheter Thrombosis," "Thrombosis Accumulation Report") is based on objective measurements of physical and biological phenomena (e.g., quantification of thrombus accumulation, pressure required to remove occlusions) within controlled laboratory environments. This is a form of empirical scientific measurement, rather than expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data.

7. The sample size for the training set:

   • Not applicable. There is no mention of a "training set" because this is a physical medical device, not an AI/machine learning model that requires training data.

8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

   • Not applicable. As no training set is mentioned, the method for establishing ground truth for it is also not applicable.

The HydroMID catheter is a short term (

This document is a 510(k) Pre-Market Notification from the FDA, specifically concerning the HydroMID intravascular catheter. It details the device's characteristics, intended use, and a comparison to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.

Based on the provided text, the device in question is a physical medical device (intravascular catheter), not an AI/ML powered medical device. Therefore, the information requested in the prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study details, human reader improvement, multi-reader multi-case studies, ground truth establishment for AI/ML models, and sample sizes for training/test sets for AI/ML models is not applicable to this document.

The document describes the non-clinical testing performed for the HydroMID catheter to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. This testing primarily focuses on physical and performance characteristics relevant to a catheter, rather than the diagnostic or interpretation capabilities of an AI/ML algorithm.

Here's what can be extracted from the document regarding the device's performance and supporting studies, framed within the context of a physical medical device's acceptance rather than an AI/ML one:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (for a physical medical device):

The "acceptance criteria" for a physical medical device like the HydroMID catheter are typically met by demonstrating comparable performance and safety to existing legally marketed predicate devices, along with meeting relevant industry standards.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Device Testing (Non-Clinical):

The document does not specify sample sizes for the non-clinical tests. It refers to "in vitro and in vivo models" for thrombus accumulation and states that "Non-Clinical Test Conclusion" indicates that "the non-clinical testing of the proposed device was leveraged from the reference device."

• Data Provenance: The studies are pre-clinical (in vitro and in vivo models). Explicit geographical provenance is not given, but the manufacturer is based in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. The studies are assumed to be prospective in design (i.e., conducted specifically for this submission).

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth:

This is not applicable as the document describes a physical medical device, not an AI/ML system that requires expert interpretation for ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication Method:

This is not applicable for the same reason as above.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

This is not applicable as the device is a physical catheter, not an AI/ML diagnostic aid for human readers.

6. Standalone Performance:

While not framed as "algorithm-only performance," the document describes standalone physical testing of the HydroMID catheter itself for characteristics like power injection flow rate, length, and potentially the repeated EO/ECH residuals test. The studies on thrombus accumulation ("in vitro and in vivo models") were also standalone performance evaluations of the device's material properties.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

For a physical device, "ground truth" refers to established scientific and engineering principles, material properties, and performance standards.

• Engineering Specifications/Standards: The device was tested against "Internal product specification," and according to FDA Guidance Documents, EN ISO 10555-1:2013, and EN ISO 10555-3:2013.
• Biological/Physiological Models: In vitro and in vivo models were used to evaluate thrombus accumulation. The "effectiveness in reducing thrombus accumulation" is the specific performance claim being substantiated.
• Reference Device Data: A significant portion of the supporting data (e.g., sterility, biocompatibility, MRI compatibility) was "leveraged" from the previously cleared HydroPICC device (K193015), which serves as a form of "ground truth" or a validated baseline for those shared characteristics.

8. Sample Size for Training Set:

This is not applicable as it's a physical device, not an AI/ML model.

9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established:

This is not applicable as it's a physical device, not an AI/ML model.

In summary, the document details the substantial equivalence of a physical medical device (intravascular catheter) to predicate devices through non-clinical performance testing against established standards and internal specifications, rather than the evaluation of an AI/ML-powered diagnostic tool.
