    The SUPERA VERITAS® Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System is indicated for palliative treatment of biliary strictures produced by malignant neoplasms.

    Device Description

    The SUPERA VERITAS® Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System is a 0.014" or 0.018" guidewire compatible, multi-lumen sheath based delivery system and a SUPERA® Biliary Stent. The stent delivery catheter includes a radiopaque Stent Length Marker and Distal Sheath Marker embedded in the Outer Sheath to aid in proper stent positioning; a Thumb Slide connected internally for advancing the Stent out of the Outer Sheath while the Outer Sheath moves proximally in a de-coupled fashion; a Sheath Flush Port for flushing the central lumen of the device; a Deployment Lock that when actuated enables the final deployment stroke of the stent; a Guidewire Lumen with a radiopaque Catheter Tip located on the distal end of the Catheter Shaft; a Guidewire Flush Port used for flushing the Guidewire Lumen; a Stent Driver (ratchet) which moves the stent distally relative to the Outer Sheath; and the System Lock which eliminates the possibility of premature deployment. The working length of the delivery catheter is 80cm and 120cm. The SUPERA® Stent is housed within the SUPERA VERITAS® stent delivery catheter and is a closed end interwoven self-expanding Nitinol stent. The SUPERA stent is composed of 6 interwoven, closed loop Nitinol wires. The wire loops are closed via a proprietary welding process which utilizes small Nitinol tubes that act as a coupler to provide the mechanical means of joining the wire ends.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided text:

    Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (SUPERA VERITAS® Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System). This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, primarily through bench testing, and usually does not involve clinical studies with human patients or "AI" in the context of diagnostic algorithms. Therefore, many of the questions related to AI performance metrics (e.g., human reader improvement with AI assistance, MRMC studies, training set details, ground truth for training) are not applicable to this specific type of device and submission.


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study (SUPERA VERITAS® Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System)

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The submission does not explicitly list quantitative "acceptance criteria" in the typical sense of performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity for a diagnostic device). Instead, the acceptance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through a series of engineering and material characterization tests. The primary acceptance criterion is that the new device performs comparably to the predicate and does not introduce new safety concerns.

    Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
    Design Equivalence: No significant differences in design compared to the predicate."A review of the product specifications concluded that there are no differences in design..."
    Material Equivalence: No significant differences in materials compared to the predicate."...no differences in...materials..." Material characterization tests (Chemical Analysis, Raw Material Mechanical Characterization, Tensile, Rotating Beam Fatigue) were performed for both vendor-passivated and in-house passivated stents. Reported to be substantially equivalent.
    Performance Equivalence: No significant differences in performance compared to the predicate."...no differences in...performance..." Bench performance testing was conducted according to various ASTM and ISO standards, and FDA guidance (e.g., "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Metal Expandable Biliary Stents"). These tests covered aspects like passivation, nickel ion release, and material properties.
    Safety and Effectiveness Equivalence: No new safety or effectiveness concerns."No additional safety risks were observed during testing." The overall conclusion is that the new configurations are "substantially equivalent" to the predicate, implying equivalent safety and effectiveness based on the non-inferiority demonstrated in the engineering studies. Note: Clinical data was not required for this 510(k).

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

    • Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of a clinical "test set" for performance evaluation like diagnostic devices. The "test set" here would refer to the number of stents/delivery systems tested in various engineering studies. The document does not specify the exact number of units tested for each engineering study, but such tests typically involve a statistically relevant number of units to ensure reliability.
    • Data Provenance: The studies were bench performance testing and engineering studies, not studies on human patients. The data is thus internally generated by the manufacturer (IDEV Technologies, Inc.) through laboratory experiments. No country of origin for patient data is relevant. The studies are by nature prospective in their design (i.e., experiments were designed and executed to test specific parameters).

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

    Not applicable. "Ground truth" in this context would refer to the characteristics being measured (e.g., material composition, mechanical properties). These are established by standardized physical/chemical testing methods, not by expert interpretation.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. There's no interpretive "ground truth" requiring adjudication by experts. The results are quantitative measurements from engineering tests.

    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 device is a physical medical implant (stent) and its delivery system, not a diagnostic imaging device, AI software, or a device that assists human readers. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance metrics are not relevant or performed.

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

    No. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" in this context is based on engineering and material standards and specifications. This includes:

    • Chemical analysis standards (e.g., ASTM A967-05)
    • Mechanical property test standards (e.g., ASTM F2516-07e2, ASTM E739-91, ASTM F2129-08, ASTM F2063-05, ASTM E1447-09, ASTM E1409-08)
    • Nickel ion release testing standards.
    • The established design and performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device (SUPERA VERITAS® Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System, K122546).

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. There is no training set as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

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

    Not applicable.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the marketing authorization for the SUPERA VERITAS® Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System (K122546). This is a 510(k) submission, meaning the device demonstrated "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than undergoing a de novo pathway requiring extensive clinical studies to establish safety and effectiveness from scratch. Therefore, the concept of "acceptance criteria" and a "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of a de novo device for performance metrics derived from clinical trials often doesn't directly apply.

    Instead, for a 510(k), acceptance is based on demonstrating substantial equivalence through various means, primarily bench performance testing in this specific case, and comparison of design, materials, and intended use. The "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met by demonstrating that the modified device performs similarly or equivalently to the predicate devices across relevant engineering and performance tests.

    Here's an analysis of the provided information, addressing your questions where applicable within the context of a 510(k) submission for a stent:


    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    For this 510(k), the "acceptance criteria" are not explicitly defined as numerical thresholds in this summary. Instead, they are implied by demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to the predicate devices through bench performance testing. The reported performance is that this testing "demonstrated that the SUPERA VERITAS® Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent Transhepatic Biliary System is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices."

    The specific tests performed were:

    Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
    Performance equivalent to predicate for DeploymentVerification testing included Deployment testing, demonstrating substantial equivalence.
    Performance equivalent to predicate for Trackability Force CharacterizationVerification testing included Trackability Force Characterization, demonstrating substantial equivalence.
    Performance equivalent to predicate for Catheter Tip IntegrityVerification testing included Catheter Tip Integrity, demonstrating substantial equivalence.
    Sterilization effective and equivalent to predicateVerification testing included Sterilization Validation, demonstrating substantial equivalence.
    No major differences in design, materials, or operation principles compared to predicate."A review of the product specifications concluded that there are no major differences in design, materials, performance, safety and product effectiveness."

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify the sample sizes (e.g., number of stents or delivery systems) for the Deployment, Trackability Force Characterization, Catheter Tip Integrity, and Sterilization Validation tests. These would typically be detailed in the full test reports, which are not included in this summary.
    • Data Provenance: The data is from "bench performance testing," which implies laboratory testing. No country of origin is specified for the data itself, but the submitter (IDEV Technologies, Inc.) is based in Webster, Texas, USA. This testing is inherently prospective with respect to the 510(k) submission, as it was conducted to support the submission for the modified device.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    Not applicable. This device received 510(k) clearance based on bench testing demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on a clinical trial requiring expert ground truth assessment of patient data.

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

    Not applicable, as this was not a clinical study involving human assessment of outcomes or images. The "adjudication" for the bench tests would have been the objective measurements obtained during the tests themselves against predefined engineering specifications.

    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

    Not applicable. This is a medical device (stent and delivery system), not an AI/imaging diagnostic device, and thus MRMC studies are not relevant to its clearance.

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

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or software-only device.

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

    The "ground truth" for this 510(k) submission is the performance of the predicate devices. The modified device's performance in bench tests (Deployment, Trackability, Catheter Tip Integrity, Sterilization) was compared against the expected performance and specifications derived from the predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This device does not use a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device submission.

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

    The provided document describes non-clinical bench and biocompatibility testing, not a clinical study involving human patient data. Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of clinical images or patient data.

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable (no human patient/image test set).
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The testing was performed on the device itself and in animal models (Thrombogenicity Study in Dogs).

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

    Not applicable. As this was non-clinical testing, there was no ground truth established by medical experts for a test set of images or clinical cases. The "ground truth" was determined by established scientific and engineering protocols and measurements.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. There was no test set requiring expert adjudication.

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

    No. The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not required in order to demonstrate safety and efficacy for the device modifications described in this 510(k)." The study focused on non-clinical performance and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on human reader performance with or without AI assistance.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

    Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device (stent delivery system), not an AI algorithm. Therefore, no standalone algorithm performance study was conducted.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for this non-clinical study was based on:

    • Established Biocompatibility Standards: Results of biocompatibility tests were compared against predefined acceptance criteria for each specific test (e.g., cytotoxicity, pyrogenicity, hemolysis).
    • Engineering Performance Specifications: Bench tests measured physical properties and performance characteristics (e.g., radial force, torque strength, deployment accuracy) against engineering specifications designed to ensure safe and effective device function, often benchmarking against predicate devices.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. There was no "training set" as this was not an AI or machine learning study, nor a clinical trial that had distinct training and test patient cohorts. The non-clinical tests were performed on a sufficient number of devices/samples to yield statistically sound results for each specific test.

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

    Not applicable. There was no training set. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests was established by adhering to recognized standards, protocols, and methods for medical device testing (e.g., 21 CFR, Part 58 Good Laboratory Practice for Non-Clinical Laboratory Studies, ISO 10555, ISO 1093, USP , AAMI TIR42).

    AI/ML Overview

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

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The provided text does not explicitly list specific acceptance criteria with numerical performance metrics for the device itself (SUPERA™ Interwoven Self-Expanding Nitinol Biliary Stent Delivery Catheter). Instead, it states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to a predicate device based on preclinical testing.

    Therefore, a table of specific numerical acceptance criteria and reported device performance from the provided document cannot be generated.

    However, based on the narrative, the implicit acceptance criterion is substantial equivalence to the predicate device, the Precision™ Stent Delivery Catheter (K060557).

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

    The document mentions "preclinical testing" but does not specify the sample size for any test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). This often implies bench testing, animal studies, or a combination, but the details are not provided.

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

    The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth. Preclinical testing for a device like a stent delivery catheter often focuses on engineering specifications, mechanical properties, and functional performance in simulated environments or animal models. Expert adjudication is more common in diagnostic or image-interpretation devices.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    As there's no mention of experts establishing ground truth, there is no adjudication method described.

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

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done or is not mentioned in the provided text. The evaluation method focused on preclinical testing for substantial equivalence, not human reader performance.

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

    N/A. This device is a medical instrument (stent delivery catheter), not an algorithm or AI system. Therefore, the concept of "standalone performance" in the context of an algorithm does not apply. The device itself performs its function.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The text doesn't explicitly state the "type of ground truth" using terms like "pathology" or "outcomes data." However, given it's a medical device, the ground truth for preclinical testing would likely involve:

    • Engineering specifications and measurements: Verifying dimensions, material properties, deployment forces, etc.
    • Functional performance in simulated environments: Assessing the catheter's ability to navigate, deliver, and resheath a stent under controlled conditions.
    • Animal study observations (if conducted): Direct observation of successful stent delivery and performance in an in-vivo model, potentially with histological evaluation or imaging to confirm proper placement and tissue response.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not Applicable (N/A). This device is not an AI/ML algorithm. Therefore, there is no "training set."

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

    Not Applicable (N/A). As there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm, this question is not relevant.

    Summary of Acceptance Criteria and Study (Based on Substantial Equivalence):

    The primary acceptance criterion described is substantial equivalence to the predicate device, the Precision™ Stent Delivery Catheter (K060557). This equivalence was confirmed through preclinical testing. While the details of this testing (specific tests, sample sizes, metrics) are not provided, the implication is that the tests demonstrated that the modified features of the new device "do not significantly affect the function and/or safety of the device" compared to the predicate. The FDA's 510(k) clearance confirms their agreement with this assessment of substantial equivalence.
