    The Edwards eSheath Optima introducer set is indicated for the introduction and removal of compatible devices used with Edwards transcatheter heart valves.

    Device Description

    The Edwards eSheath Optima introducer set (herein referred to as Optima set), model 14000ES16, consists of a sheath, vessel dilator, introducer, and in-sheath dilator. The Optima set is available with inner sheath diameter of 16 French and is used to facilitate introduction and removal of compatible devices used with the Edwards transcatheter heart valve (THV) systems into/from the vasculature.

    The sheath shaft is composed of two layers; as devices are passed through the sheath, the inner member expands by sliding against itself while the outer jacket expands by stretching radially, temporarily expanding the shaft diameter. A radiopaque marker on the distal end indicates the location of the sheath tip in the body and a hydrophilic coating on the sheath tubing exterior facilitates introduction into the vessel. The sheath tubing mates with a housing, which holds three seals to provide hemostasis, and an extension tube with stopcock for flushing.

    The vessel dilator is used to dilate the vessel prior to sheath insertion. The introducer is inserted into the sheath hub and locked prior to insertion into the body over a guidewire. The in-sheath dilator is used to expand the sheath during device use at the physician's discretion. The introducer, vessel dilator, and in-sheath dilator are radiopaque to improve fluoroscopic visibility intra-procedure.

    The 29mm loader (included with the Edwards delivery system) features a disc valve within the loader cap assembly to help maintain hemostasis, and a scored perforation on the loader tube allowing the loader tubing to be "peeled away" and removed to utilize the full working length of the inserted device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device called the Edwards eSheath Optima Introducer Set. It outlines the regulatory process and asserts the device's substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that an AI/software device meets those criteria, as typically seen in AI/ML medical device submissions.

    The document pertains to a physical medical device (catheter introducer) and its non-clinical performance testing. The "summary of non-clinical testing" section lists various engineering and biocompatibility tests performed on the device itself, not on an AI algorithm.

    Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI/software device.
    2. Sample sizes, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, training set details, or how training ground truth was established, because this information is not present in the provided document regarding an AI/software device.

    The document is about a physical medical device and its non-clinical (engineering and biocompatibility) testing, not an AI/ML-based device.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details for the Hypertension Prediction Index (HePI) Algorithm, based on the provided FDA 510(k) letter:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Performance MetricAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance (Minimally Invasive)Reported Device Performance (Non-Invasive)
    Sensitivity (%)> 80%99.7% [99.6, 99.9]99.6% [99.1, 100.0]
    Specificity (%)> 80%93.7% [92.9, 94.3]91.6% [90.7, 92.5]

    Note: The reported performance is for the overall datasets (N=1813 for Minimally Invasive, N=1351 for Non-invasive). All sub-categories (surgical/non-surgical) also met the acceptance criteria.


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

    • Minimally Invasive Sensor:
      • US Patients: 1615 subjects
      • OUS Patients: 198 subjects
      • Total N: 1813 subjects
    • Non-Invasive Finger Cuff:
      • US Patients: 464 subjects
      • OUS Patients: 887 subjects
      • Total N: 1351 subjects

    Data Provenance: The study used retrospective clinical data from multiple independent datasets. Data was collected from both US and OUS (Outside United States) patients.


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

    The provided document does not specify the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing the ground truth.


    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The provided document does not specify an adjudication method. The ground truth definition of a "hypertensive event" is clearly stated (MAP > 115 mmHg for at least 1 minute or MAP increase of > 20% when current MAP > 95 mmHg), suggesting an objective, pre-defined criterion rather than expert consensus on individual cases that would require adjudication.


    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

    The provided document does not indicate that an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The focus is on the standalone performance of the algorithm.


    6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

    Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The results presented in Table 2 (AUC, Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV) are direct measures of the algorithm's performance in predicting hypertensive events based on retrospective clinical data, without human interaction.


    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth used is defined by objective physiological measurements and thresholds:
    A "hypertensive event" is defined as:

    • Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) greater than 115 mmHg for at least 1 minute OR
    • A MAP increase of more than 20% when current MAP is greater than 95 mmHg.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The provided document does not explicitly state the sample size for the training set. It mentions that "Algorithm performance was tested using retrospective clinical data" and "Prospective analyses of retrospective clinical data from multiple independent datasets...were analyzed to verify the safety and performance of the subject device," referring to the test sets.


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

    The provided document does not explicitly state how the ground truth for the training set was established. However, given the nature of the device and the ground truth definition for the test set, it is highly likely that the same objective physiological measurements and thresholds (MAP > 115 mmHg for at least 1 minute or MAP increase of > 20% when current MAP > 95 mmHg) were used to establish ground truth labels for the training data.

    Device Description

    The FloTrac, Acumen IQ, and VolumeView sensors are constructed from two disposable pressure transducers that convert a physiological signal (or mechanical pressure) to an electrical signal that is transmitted through the cable to the patient monitor. The sensors have a straight, flow-through design in which fluid is passed directly across the pressure sensor. The sensors are comprised of a pressure sensitive silicon chip with two electrodes for excitation voltage and two electrodes for signal output. A polycarbonate housing with an integral stopcock at one end, and an integral flush device at the other end, encloses the sensors.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the FloTrac, FloTrac Jr, Acumen IQ, and VolumeView sensors does not contain detailed information about specific acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria in the typical format requested for an AI/ML-based medical device.

    This document describes a substantial equivalence determination for extravascular blood pressure transducers (sensors) manufactured by Edwards Lifesciences, LLC. The core of the submission is that the subject devices are identical to the predicate devices in terms of intended use, indications for use, and technological characteristics, EXCEPT for changed pressure tubing and IV set component materials.

    Therefore, the "study" described here is primarily focused on demonstrating that these material changes do not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns, rather than validating an AI/ML algorithm's diagnostic performance against established ground truth.

    Here's a breakdown based on the provided text, addressing your questions where possible, and noting where the information is not applicable or not present:


    Overview of the Device and Study's Focus:

    The devices in question are FloTrac, FloTrac Jr, Acumen IQ, and VolumeView sensors, which are intravascular pressure monitoring devices that also work with Edwards' arterial pressure-based cardiac output monitoring hardware. The 510(k) submission (K242909) is for modifications to these existing devices, specifically changes to the pressure tubing and IV set component materials. The premise of the submission is that these material changes do not alter the fundamental performance or safety in a way that would require new clinical performance studies typical for an AI/ML device.

    Device Description

    The HemoSphere Alta Advanced Monitoring Platform is Edwards' next-generation platform that provides a means to interact with and visualize hemodynamic and volumetric data on a screen. It incorporates a comprehensive view of patient hemodynamic parameters with an intuitive and easy user interface. The HemoSphere Alta Advanced Monitoring Platform is designed to provide monitoring of cardiac flow with various core technologies coupled with other technologies-based features such as Algorithms and Interactions. It integrates Edwards existing Critical Care technologies into a unified platform.

    The Right Ventricular Cardiac Output (RVCO) feature is a machinelearning algorithm that calculates and displays continuous cardiac output (CORV) from the right ventricle using as inputs the right ventricular pressure waveform and derived right ventricular pressure parameters such as SYSRVF, DIARVP, MRVP, RVEDP, PRRV and Max RV dP/dt from the existing Right Ventricular Pressure (RVP) algorithm and if available, intermittent cardiac output (iCO).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the HemoSphere Alta Advanced Monitoring Platform and its various features, as well as the testing conducted to support its 510(k) clearance. However, it does not contain specific acceptance criteria and detailed device performance data in the format of a table, nor does it provide a detailed study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria for any of its algorithms.

    The document makes general statements about testing, such as:

    • "Completion of all verification and validation activities demonstrated that the subject devices meet their predetermined design and performance specifications."
    • "Measured and derived parameters were tested using a bench simulation."
    • "All tests passed."
    • "Software verification testing were conducted, and documentation was provided per FDA's Guidance..." "All tests passed."
    • "Usability study was conducted per FDA's guidance document... The usability study demonstrated that the intended users can perform primary operating functions and critical tasks of the system without any usability issues that may lead to patient or user harm."

    While it mentions the Right Ventricular Cardiac Output (RVCO) algorithm as a new algorithm and states that "clinical data (waveforms) were collected in support of the design and validation of the RVCO algorithm," it does not present the detailed results of this validation study, nor does it define specific acceptance criteria for the RVCO algorithm and its performance against those criteria.

    Therefore,Based on the provided text, I cannot provide the requested information in the form of a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for any specific algorithm, nor can I describe a detailed study that proves the device meets these criteria. The document contains general statements about testing and compliance but lacks the specific quantitative data and study design details needed to answer all aspects of your request.

    To provide a complete answer, specific study reports and performance data would be required, which are not present in the provided FDA 510(k) summary.

    Intended Use

    Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm is an informational index intended to represent a surrogate measurement of whether cerebral autoregulation is likely intact or is likely impaired as expressed by the level of coherence or lack thereof between Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and the Absolute Levels of Blood Oxygenation Saturation (StO2) in patient's cerebral tissue. MAP is acquired by the HemoSphere pressure cable and StO2 is acquired by the ForeSight oximeter cable. CAI is intended for use in patients over 18 years of age receiving advanced hemodynamic monitoring. CAI is not indicated to be used for treatment of any disease or condition and no therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm.

    Device Description

    The Cerebral Adaptive Index (CAI) Algorithm is being renamed to Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm. The originally cleared Cerebral Adaptive Index is in effect an index of cerebral autoregulation, and the renaming results in a labeling change. The evidence to support the proposed labeling change for the Cerebral Autoregulation Index algorithm demonstrates the capability of CAI to represent a surrogate measurement of whether cerebral autoregulation is likely intact or is likely impaired, as expressed by the level of coherence or lack thereof between MAP (as a surrogate of cerebral perfusion pressure) and cerebral StO2 (as a surrogate of cerebral blood flow) of the patient.

    The Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm is a derived parameter that quantifies the dynamic relationship between two existing hemodynamic parameters, Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and the Absolute Levels of Blood Oxygenation Saturation (StO2) in the cerebral tissue. CAI is intended to represent a surrogate measurement of whether cerebral autoregulation is likely intact or is likely impaired as expressed by the level of coherence between MAP and cerebral StO2. The output will be represented as an index value in a trend plot.

    MAP is acquired from the HemoSphere Pressure Cable (initially cleared in K180881 on November 16, 2018). StO2 used for computing CAI is acquired from the ForeSight Oximeter Cable (cleared in K201446 on October 1, 2020).

    CAI will be continuously displayed at 20-second rate. The parameter will not have any alarm ranges and will be represented as a number with a range between 0 to 100. A high CAI value (CAI ≥45) means that MAP and StO2 have a greater coherence and informs the clinician that alterations in MAP may result in concomitant changes in cerebral oxygen saturation because cerebral autoregulation is likely impaired. Whereas a low CAI value (CAI

    AI/ML Overview

    Here’s a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

    Device Name: Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm

    The document describes a 510(k) submission for a name change (and re-clarification of its meaning) of an existing device (Cerebral Adaptive Index (CAI) Algorithm) to Cerebral Autoregulation Index (CAI) Algorithm. The core algorithm and its function remain the same. The performance data presented appears to be the original validation data for the algorithm, supporting the claim that the renamed device retains its safety and effectiveness.


    Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance Criteria (Performance Goals)Reported Device Performance (Overall N=50)
    Sensitivity ≥ 80% at the CAI threshold of 4582% [95% CI: 75, 88]
    Specificity ≥ 80% at the CAI threshold of 4594% [95% CI: 91, 96]
    ROC AUC (Summarized performance, higher AUC indicates better performance)0.92 [95% CI: 0.89, 0.94]

    Study Details

    1. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

      • Test Set Sample Size: 50 subjects.
      • Data Provenance: Retrospectively obtained from 3 clinical sites:
        • Northwestern University, Chicago, USA
        • UC Davis, Sacramento, USA
        • Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
      • Patient Characteristics: Adult surgical patients (cardiac and general surgery) over 18 years of age.
    2. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Experts:

      • The document does not specify the number of experts used to establish the ground truth or their qualifications. The ground truth was established algorithmically based on physiological measurements.
    3. Adjudication Method:

      • Not applicable/Not mentioned. The ground truth was established via a polynomial fit of CBFV-MAP data to determine LLA and ULA, and then a rule-based classification (Intact or Impaired) was applied. There's no indication of human adjudication of this ground truth.
    4. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

      • No MRMC study was done, as this algorithm is not intended for human interpretation or direct assistance in a diagnostic image reading scenario. Its output is an index value representing a physiological state.
    5. Standalone Performance:

      • Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was conducted. The study assessed the algorithm's ability to discriminate between "Intact" and "Impaired" cerebral autoregulation conditions based on its calculated CAI value, against a ground truth derived from physiological measurements (CBFV-MAP).
    6. Type of Ground Truth Used:

      • Physiological Ground Truth: The ground truth for cerebral autoregulation status (Intact vs. Impaired) was established using a polynomial fit of Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity (CBFV) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) data. Specifically, LLA (Lower Limit of Autoregulation) and ULA (Upper Limit of Autoregulation) were determined from this data, and an autoregulation status was assigned based on MAP's relationship to these limits:
        • Impaired: MAP ≤ LLA or MAP ≥ ULA
        • Intact: LLA

    Intended Use

    The Fogarty thru-lumen embolectomy catheter is indicated for adults requiring the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels in the arteries of the peripheral vasculature. Additionally, it may also be used for temporary occlusion of blood vessels, infusion of fluids, and blood sampling in general surgical procedures.

    Device Description

    The Fogarty Thru-Lumen Embolectomy Catheter is a double lumen catheter with a latex balloon at the distal end. One lumen is used for balloon inflation and is accessed through the gate valve at the proximal end. The thru-lumen is used for infusion of fluids, sampling of blood or guidewire passage through the distal tip. A removable stainless steel stylet(s) is provided.

    AI/ML Overview

    It appears there might be a misunderstanding of the provided text. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device: the Fogarty Thru-Lumen Embolectomy Catheter.

    This document is not about an AI/software-as-medical-device (SaMD) or a device that relies on complex algorithms requiring a study to prove its performance against acceptance criteria like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC based on a test set, ground truth, or expert readers.

    Instead, this device is a physical catheter used to remove emboli and thrombi. The "acceptance criteria" and "study" proving its performance in this context relate to engineering and biocompatibility testing, not to AI model performance or interpretation of medical images.

    Here's why the questions about AI/software-related study methodologies are not applicable to the provided document:

    • No mention of AI, algorithms, or software: The document describes a physical medical device. There is no indication that it incorporates AI, software, or image analysis to function.
    • "Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" refers to bench testing: The document explicitly states under "Device Testing": "Bench testing was performed in accordance with Edwards' current design requirements. In addition, shelf-life, packaging, and sterilization validations have been performed to existing specifications. All testing met the existing predetermined acceptance criteria." This refers to mechanical, material, and sterilization performance, not diagnostic accuracy or AI performance.
    • Comparison to a predicate device: The basis for clearance is "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device (Fogarty Thru-Lumen Embolectomy Catheter cleared in K892410). The comparative analysis states, "The subject device is identical to the predicate device in terms of the intended use, indications for use, and technological characteristics (including design, material, chemical composition, principle of operation)." This reinforces that it's a physical device, not an AI system that would typically undergo MRMC studies or performance validation against a ground truth dataset of patient images.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information (table of acceptance criteria, sample size, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, ground truth types, training set details) because the provided FDA document pertains to a physical medical device and does not involve AI or software development with the type of validation methodology you are asking about.

    To summarize, the document is about the FDA clearance of a conventional medical device, not an AI-powered one. The "acceptance criteria" and "study" refer to engineering and biological safety tests, not the performance metrics of an AI model.

    Intended Use

    The Edwards Lifesciences Acumen Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) Software Feature provides the clinician with physiological insight into a patient's estimated response to fluid therapy and the associated hemodynamics. The Acumen AFM Software Feature is intended for use in surgical patients ≥18 years of age, that require advanced hemodynamic monitoring. The Acumen AFM Software Feature offers suggestions regarding the patient's physiological condition and estimated response to fluid therapy. Acumen AFM fluid administration suggestions are offered to the clinician; the decision to administer a fluid bolus is made by the clinician, based upon review of the patient's hemodynamics. No therapeutic decisions should be made based solely on the Assisted Fluid Management suggestions.

    Device Description

    The Acumen AFM Software Feature (core AFM algorithm + AFM Graphical User Interface) was originally granted in De Novo, DEN190029, on November 13, 2020, to inform clinicians about a patient's fluid responsiveness. The performance of the AFM Software Feature in predicting a patient's fluid responsiveness is measured using response rate and is calculated by reporting the percentage of followed AFM recommendations ("Fluid Bolus Suggested" and "Test Bolus Suggested" prompts) that have the desired change in stroke volume (SV), divided by the total number of AFM recommendations.

    With this submission, Edwards is seeking clearance for the AFM Prompt Reclassifier algorithm (AFM PR algorithm) to the Acumen AFM Software Feature. The AFM Prompt Reclassifier algorithm is intended to be used in conjunction with the core AFM algorithm to re-assess the fluid bolus recommendations provided by the core alqorithm. It analyzes the patient's current hemodynamics for either confirming (corroborating) the original prompt or reclassifying the prompts (i.e., reclassify a "Test Bolus Suggested" prompt to a "Fluid Bolus Suggested" prompt or vice versa). In doing so, it acts as a secondary check for the fluid bolus prompts such that a greater number of the "Fluid Bolus Suggested" prompts lead to the desired change in stroke volume. Through refined prompt adjustments informed by real-time hemodynamic data, the AFM PR algorithm aims to improve patient responsiveness, thereby optimizing the impact of the AFM Software Feature on patient hemodynamics.

    AI/ML Overview

    The FDA 510(k) summary for the Acumen Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) Software Feature describes the acceptance criteria and the study conducted to demonstrate the device meets these criteria.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Not explicitly stated as a numerical target, but the overall goal was to demonstrate an improvement in the response rate for "Fluid Bolus Suggested" prompts due to the addition of the AFM Prompt Reclassifier (AFM PR) algorithm. This improvement should confirm that a greater number of these prompts lead to desired changes in the patient's stroke volume.The study "demonstrated an improvement in response rate for 'Fluid Bolus Suggested' prompts, thus demonstrating that the AFM PR algorithm met the predefined acceptance criteria." The results showed that the differences in fluid bolus suggestions introduced by the AFM PR algorithm do not raise any safety and effectiveness concerns.

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

    • Sample Size: The algorithm performance was analyzed on an archived dataset consisting of 1229 data points from 307 patients.
    • Data Provenance: The data came from the US IDE Study, G170204. The study involved 9 independent U.S. sites. The data is retrospective as it was an "archived dataset."

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

    • This information is not provided in the document. The study uses physiological response (change in stroke volume) as the outcome measure, implying a physiological ground truth rather than expert interpretation of images or other data.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • This information is not provided in the document. Given the nature of the ground truth (physiological response), a traditional adjudication method for subjective assessments might not be directly applicable.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

    • A MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly mentioned or described.
    • The study focuses on the algorithm's performance in improving the response rate of its suggestions, rather than comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance. The device offers "suggestions" and the "decision to administer a fluid bolus is made by the clinician."

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    • Yes, a standalone algorithm performance study was done. The document states, "Algorithm performance was analyzed on the archived dataset... The validation was to demonstrate the impact on the response rate of the AFM Software Feature's fluid bolus prompts due to the addition of AFM Prompt Reclassifier algorithm." This implies evaluating the algorithm's predictions against the measured physiological outcomes.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • The ground truth used is physiological response/outcomes data. Specifically, the "desired change in stroke volume (SV)" following AFM recommendations was used to measure the "response rate."

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • The document does not explicitly state the sample size for the training set. It only mentions the "archived dataset from the US IDE Study, G170204" used for algorithm performance analysis/validation.

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

    • The document does not explicitly describe how the ground truth for the training set was established. It focuses on the validation of the AFM Prompt Reclassifier algorithm using an existing dataset. Given that the core AFM algorithm was granted in De Novo DEN190029, the ground truth for its original training would likely have involved similar physiological outcome data from clinical studies where fluid administration decisions were made and subsequent stroke volume changes were observed.

    Intended Use

    The Fogarty Fortis Arterial Embolectomy Catheters are indicated for use in adult patients for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels in the peripheral arterial system.

    Device Description

    The Fogarty Fortis Arterial Embolectomy Catheters provide a means of clearing emboli and thrombi from vessels in the arteries of the peripheral system through inflation of the balloon and engagement with the arterial wall beyond the vascular obstruction followed by gentle withdrawal of the catheter thereby removing the obstruction from its position. The device catheter size is 4F and are available in 40 cm and 80 cm lengths. The device consists of a radiopaque catheter shaft with an integrated elastomeric latex balloon and an atraumatic tip that is inserted surgically into arterial vessels of the peripheral system. A hub at the proximal end is used for balloon inflation.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) summary for the Fogarty Fortis Arterial Embolectomy Catheter. It outlines the device description, indications for use, and a comparative analysis to a predicate device. The document states that "All testing met the existing predetermined acceptance criteria." However, it does not provide any specific acceptance criteria or detailed study results for device performance.

    Therefore, I cannot extract the detailed information requested regarding acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them because it is not present in the provided text.

    Based on the available information:

    • 1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This information is not provided in the document. The document only states, "All testing met the existing predetermined acceptance criteria."
    • 2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: This information is not provided. The document mentions "Bench testing was performed in accordance with Edwards' current design requirements," but no details on sample size or data provenance are given.
    • 3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: This information is not provided.
    • 4. Adjudication method for the test set: This information is not provided.
    • 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 a medical device (catheter), not an AI/software device. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not applicable and was not performed.
    • 6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm, so this concept is not applicable.
    • 7. The type of ground truth used: For a physical medical device like an embolectomy catheter, "ground truth" would typically refer to established engineering standards, biocompatibility testing guidelines (e.g., ISO 10993-1), and internal design requirements. The document states:
      • "Biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1: 2018..."
      • "Bench testing was performed in accordance with Edwards' current design requirements."
    • 8. The sample size for the training set: This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."
    • 9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as there is no training set.

    The document focuses on substantiating equivalence to a predicate device through bench testing and biocompatibility assessments, stating that the new device meets "existing predetermined acceptance criteria" without detailing what those criteria are or the specific performance metrics achieved.
