The Evolution® Mechanical Dilator Sheath Set, Evolution® Shortie Mechanical Dilator Sheath Set, SteadySheath™ Evolution® Tissue Stabilization Sheath, and SteadySheath™ Evolution® Shortie Tissue Stabilization Sheath are intended for use in patients requiring the percutaneous dilation of tissue surrounding cardiac leads, indwelling catheters and foreign objects.
The Evolution® Mechanical Dilator Sheath Set is constructed of two coaxial sheaths connected to a handle capable of mechanically rotating the inner sheath. In use, the coaxial sheaths are advanced over an indwelling catheter or cardiac lead. The inner sheath (available in 9, 11, and 13 French diameters) is designed to rotate in a clockwise manner by pulling the trigger in the handle assembly. As the inner sheath is advanced, the rotation of the sheath assists in dilation of any binding tissue which may be anchoring the catheter or lead to the inner vascular or inner cardiac wall. The outer coaxial sheath can be used to stabilize the cardiac wall at the point of lead/catheter tip attachment to allow for detachment and removal (counter traction technique). The device has a working length of 40.6 centimeters.
The Evolution® Shortie Mechanical Dilator Sheath Set is constructed of two coaxial sheaths connected to a handle capable of mechanically rotating the inner sheath. The outer sheath has winged control tabs located at its proximal (handle) end. The sheaths are advanced over an indwelling catheter or cardiac lead. The inner sheath (available in 9 and 11 French diameters) is designed to rotate in clockwise manner by pulling the trigger in the handle assembly. As the inner sheath is advanced, the rotation of the sheath assists in dilation of any binding tissue which may be anchoring the catheter or lead to the inner vascular or inner cardiac wall. The outer coaxial sheath can be used to stabilize the cardiac wall at the point of lead/catheter tip attachment to allow for detachment and removal (counter traction technique). The device has a working length of 13.6 centimeters.
The SteadySheath™ Evolution® Tissue Stabilization Sheath and SteadySheath™ Evolution® Shortie Tissue Stabilization Sheath are designed to be used in place of the standard outer sheath that is supplied as part of the Evolution family of mechanical/controlled-rotation dilator sheath sets. They are provided for use in situations where better sheath tip visibility and/or tissue stabilization is desired. In its role as an Evolution outer sheath, the SteadySheath™ works in concert with the inner Evolution braided inner sheath to assist in the removal of cardiac leads or related catheters by bypassing and/or disrupting transvenous binding scar tissue. The SteadySheath™ has a highly radiopaque, textured stainless steel tip that helps stabilize tissue so that better binding scar tissue control and disruption can be achieved.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria in a clinical study for a novel device. Therefore, a direct fit for all requested categories for a standalone performance or MRMC study as typically seen with AI algorithms will not be available.
However, I can extract the information relevant to the device's engineering performance testing which serves as its "acceptance criteria" for substantial equivalence.
Here's the information derived from the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Test Performed | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Push and Flex Testing | Device must remain functional after 50 cycles of flexing between 45° and 90° within a simulated use model. | Predetermined acceptance criteria were met. |
Push and Rotate Testing | Device must remain functional after 50 cycles of insertion, 90° rotation, and removal from a simulated use model. | Predetermined acceptance criteria were met. |
Pull Testing | Device must withstand no less than 10 pounds of pull force prior to failure. | Predetermined acceptance criteria were met. |
Sterility Testing | Acceptable bioburden levels, endotoxin levels, and ethylene oxide and ethylene chlorohydrin residuals. | Sterility was deemed acceptable based on evaluations. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each design verification test performed (e.g., how many devices were subjected to Push and Flex testing). The data provenance is internal laboratory testing simulating use, not clinical data from patients or a specific country of origin. This was retrospective in the sense that the testing was performed on manufactured devices to support the 510(k) submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
This question is not applicable. The "ground truth" for these engineering tests is defined by the physical properties and functionality of the device under simulated stress, as measured by standard laboratory equipment and protocols, not by expert human interpretation.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This question is not applicable. The tests are objective design verification tests with pass/fail criteria, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. This is a medical device for percutaneous dilation (mechanical tool), not an AI-based diagnostic or assistive software. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No. This is a physical medical device. The "standalone performance" is documented by the engineering tests described in the table above, not an algorithm's performance.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for these engineering tests is determined by objective physical measurements demonstrating the device's mechanical integrity, functionality, and sterility under specified simulated use conditions. This is based on engineering specifications and performance standards, not pathology, outcomes data, or expert consensus in a clinical context.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This question is not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm requiring a training set. The performance is assessed on physical prototypes or production units subjected to engineering tests.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This question is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

The studies appear to be engineering and performance verification tests of the device itself, rather than studies involving patient data. Therefore, data provenance in terms of country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature for a clinical test set is not applicable here.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This information is not provided in the document. The tests described are engineering validations, not studies requiring expert interpretation of clinical data to establish ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not provided and is not applicable given the nature of the tests described (engineering and performance validation).
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The device itself is a blood flow monitor that provides an audible and visual output to a human user; it is not an algorithm that operates standalone without human involvement in the diagnostic or monitoring process. Therefore, the concept of a "standalone" algorithm performance study as typically understood in AI/imaging is not applicable to this device. The tests performed are for the device's technical functionality, which is its standalone performance.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the tests performed would be the engineering specifications, regulatory standards (e.g., electrical safety standards, EMC standards), and design requirements for each test category. For instance, for "Electrical Safety Testing," the ground truth is compliance with relevant electrical safety standards. For "Software Validation," the ground truth is that the software performs according to its design specifications. There is no mention of expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data as ground truth.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. The Cook Vascular, Inc. Blood Flow Monitor - Model DP-M350 is a hardware device with associated software, not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable as there is no training set for an AI/machine learning algorithm. The "ground truth" for the device's development would be its design specifications and validated engineering principles.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size for Test Set:
- For the performance tests (Dynamic Failure Flow, Instantaneous Burst, Static Pressure, Life Cycle Power Injection Tests), a specific sample size is not explicitly stated in the provided summary.
- For Bioburden testing, nine individual infusion sets were tested.
- Data Provenance: The data appears to be prospective testing conducted by Cook Vascular, Inc. or its contractors. The country of origin is implicitly the USA, where Cook Vascular, Inc. is based and the submission was made to the FDA.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
- Not applicable for this type of device and study. The testing described involves engineering and microbiological performance metrics, not clinical interpretation by experts to establish a "ground truth." The ground truth is objective performance characteristics measured through laboratory testing.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not applicable. This study involves objective laboratory tests with measurable outcomes, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication by multiple 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:
- No. This document describes a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device (infusion set), not an AI/software-as-a-medical-device. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI-related comparative effectiveness was performed or applicable.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
- No. As mentioned, this is not an AI/algorithm-based device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- The "ground truth" for the performance tests (flow, pressure, burst, life cycle) are engineering specifications and physical measurements designed to assess the device's functional integrity under intended use conditions.
- The "ground truth" for sterilization tests (Bioburden, Endotoxin, EO Residuals, Sterility) are established microbiological and chemical standards for medical device sterilization.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The design, components, and manufacturing processes leverage those of a previously cleared predicate device (K033515 HuberPRO™ Safety Huber Infusion Set), which serves as a benchmark for substantial equivalence rather than a training set in the AI sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

The devices are for use in patient therapy requiring repeated vascular access for infusion therapy, power injected diagnostic techniques using contrast media, and blood infusion/withdrawal. For the power injection of contrast media, the maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 ml/sec using media with a maximum viscosity of 11.8 cP.
The proposed device is exactly the same as the predicate devices.
The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Cook Vascular, Inc. Vital-Port Vascular Access System Power Injectable Port. This submission aims to establish a safe and effective way to conduct power injection studies using the device, which was previously marketed without specific claims or instructions for this procedure. The current submission focuses on demonstrating the device's suitability for power injectable diagnostic techniques using contrast media.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Acceptance Criteria (Parameters for Power Injection) | Reported Device Performance (Tested Limits) |
---|---|
Maximum recommended infusion rate | 5 mL/sec |
Maximum contrast media viscosity | 11.8 cP |
Maximum pressure limit | 325 psi |
Catheter length for testing | > 70 cm |
Catheter length in assumed implanted range | 20 cm - 50 cm |
Contrast media pre-heating (clinical context) | Could reduce viscosity by nearly half (e.g., to 4.9 cP) |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size for the "test set" in terms of how many individual devices were tested. It refers to "the flowing tests" implying multiple instances or scenarios were subjected to testing.
The data provenance is from Cook Vascular, Inc., a company based in Vandergrift, PA, USA. The tests described are prospective (laboratory testing performed for the purpose of this submission) and are likely simulated rather than using human or animal subjects, as they focus on physical performance under specific conditions.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not applicable in this context. The "ground truth" for this medical device submission is the physical performance and safety characteristics of the device under specific mechanical stress and fluid flow conditions. It's established through engineering tests, not through expert clinical consensus or interpretation of observational data. The tests are designed to measure objective physical properties of the device.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 typically refer to the process of resolving discrepancies in expert interpretations of clinical data or images. Since the "test set" involves laboratory-based engineering parameter testing (e.g., flow rates, pressure limits, burst tests), there is no need for such adjudication. The results are objective measurements.
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
An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging devices or AI algorithms where human interpretation is involved. The Cook Vascular, Inc. Vital-Port is a physical vascular access system, not an imaging device or an AI diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This is not applicable. The device is not an algorithm or an AI system. Its performance is entirely mechanical and physical.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for the device's performance related to power injection is established through physical and mechanical engineering tests. These tests evaluate:
- Dynamic Failure Flow Test: Measures flow characteristics and potential failure modes under dynamic conditions.
- Instantaneous Burst Test: Assesses the device's ability to withstand sudden, high-pressure events.
- Static Burst Test: Determines the maximum pressure the device can tolerate under prolonged static conditions.
- Puncture Life Test: Evaluates the number of times the septum can be punctured before degradation or failure.
- Cyclic Test: Assesses durability under repeated stress cycles.
- Life Cycle Power Injection Test: Simulates repeated power injection procedures to evaluate long-term performance and integrity.
The "ground truth" for the operational parameters (5 mL/sec, 11.8 cP, 325 psi) is derived directly from the results of these tests, confirming that the device can safely tolerate these conditions.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI or machine learning model. The device's performance is determined by its physical design and materials, which are verified through direct testing, not through training data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable as there is no training set for this type of device.

- No. This is a conventional medical device (mechanical dilator sheath), not an AI-powered diagnostic device. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not relevant and was not performed.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm, so this concept is not applicable.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- Not applicable in the conventional sense. The "ground truth" for the mechanical tests would be the pre-defined engineering specifications and performance requirements for the device's function (e.g., "the dilator must not buckle under X force"). The tests confirm adherence to these functional requirements.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI model, so there is no "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for a mechanical device.
Summary of what is present:
The document serves as a 510(k) summary, which aims to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" of the EVOLUTION Mechanical Dilator Sheath Set to existing predicate devices. It lists the types of tests performed (Buckling Test, Binding Test, Bond strength, Pull Testing, Handle Cycling Test, Device Performance) as evidence of reliable design and performance. However, it does not provide specific quantitative acceptance criteria or the actual test results that would illustrate the device's performance against these criteria. The approval by the FDA (K061000) indicates that the provided information was deemed sufficient to establish substantial equivalence.

The Cook Vascular PERFECTA™ EDS Ergonomic Intermittent Activation Switch is an accessory that can be used with the Cook Vascular PERFECTA™ Electrosurgical Dissection System. This device adds the option to automatically activate the Valley(ab Force FX electrosurgical generator at a predetermined rate when the footswitch is depressed.
The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the "Cook Vascular PERFECTA™ EDS Ergonomic Intermittent Activation Switch". This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, study details (sample size, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, ground truth, training set), and effect sizes of AI assistance cannot be extracted from this document.
The document states:
- Substantial Equivalence: "This device is similar with respect to indications for use, materials and physical construction to predicate devices in terms of section 510(k) substantial equivalency."
- Predicate Device: ArthroCare Timer (510(k) DC# K021519).
The basis for clearance is demonstrating that the new device has the same intended use and technological characteristics as a legally marketed predicate device, or if there are different technological characteristics, that they do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device. This typically involves non-clinical performance data (e.g., electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility) and comparison to the predicate, rather than a clinical study with acceptance criteria and a detailed statistical analysis of performance metrics.

The COOK- Swartz Doppler Flow Probe and Monitor System is intended for monitoring blood flow in vessels intraoperatively, and following reconstructive micro-vascular procedures, re-implantation, and free flap transfers. The COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe is supplied sterile and intended for one time use
The Modified COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe is intended for monitoring blood flow through vessels in patients intraoperatively and during reconstructive vascular procedures. The COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe is supplied sterile, and nonpyroqenic and is intended for one-time use. Reasonable assurance of biocompatibility of the body fluid/tissue contacting materials comprising the device is provided by their established history of use in medical product manufacturing.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a Special 510(k) Device Modification for the COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe. This type of submission is for modifications to a legally marketed device and primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device, rather than providing extensive de novo clinical study data to demonstrate novel performance against acceptance criteria.
Therefore, the document does not contain the detailed information typically found in a clinical study report that establishes acceptance criteria and then proves the device meets those criteria.
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is missing, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
This information is not present in the document. The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe D.C. #K964001) based on intended use, material composition, and method of operation. It does not provide specific performance metrics or acceptance criteria for the modified device.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
This information is not present in the document. Since it's a 510(k) for a device modification showing substantial equivalence, a formal "test set" with a specified sample size for performance evaluation in the way a de novo clinical study would isn't typically included in this summary.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications
This information is not present. The document doesn't describe a study involving expert panels for ground truth establishment.
4. Adjudication Method
This information is not present. No adjudication method is mentioned as there is no description of a study involving multiple readers or complex diagnostic interpretations requiring consensus.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
This information is not present. There is no mention of an MRMC study or any comparison of human readers with and without AI assistance. The device in question is a Doppler flow probe, which is a diagnostic tool, not an AI-assisted diagnostic software.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study
This information is not present. The device is hardware (a probe), not a standalone algorithm. Therefore, "algorithm-only" performance is not applicable.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
This information is not present. Given that the submission is for a device modification demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate, a new "ground truth" establishment for performance validation is not usually required or detailed in this type of submission summary.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not present. The document does not describe the development of an algorithm that would require a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not present, as no training set or ground truth for an algorithm is mentioned.
Summary of the Document's Approach:
The provided document (K022649) is a Special 510(k) Device Modification for the COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe. The core of this submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe D.C. #K964001).
The argument for equivalence is based on:
- Intended Use: "monitoring blood flow through vessels in patients intraoperatively and during reconstructive vascular procedures." (The modified device also adds "and following reconstructive micro-vascular procedures, re-implantation, and free flap transfers" which is also aligned with the predicate's expanded indications as K964001's indications include "monitor blood flow intraoperatively, during intraoperative neuro-vascular procedures, and following reconstructive micro-vascular procedures, re-implantation and free flap transfer.")
- Material Composition: "biocompatibility of the body fluid/tissue contacting materials comprising the device is provided by their established history of use in medical product manufacturing."
- Method of Operation: Implied to be similar as it's a modification to an existing device.
- Manufacturing: "manufactured according to specified process controls and a Quality Assurance Program, undergoing packaging and sterilization procedures similar to the currently marketed and distributed COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe D.C. #K964001."
No new clinical data, performance criteria, or "proof of meeting acceptance criteria" in the sense of a novel functional claim are presented in this summary. The FDA's letter explicitly states: "We have determined the device is substantially equivalent... You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act." This confirms that the modification was deemed equivalent without requiring new, extensive performance studies detailed in this summary.
