    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) clearance letter details the substantial equivalence of the Symphony™ Thrombectomy System and Symphony™ 16F 82cm Thrombectomy System to a predicate device. However, the document does not describe a study involving "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in the context of an AI/human reader study or a standalone algorithm study looking at diagnostic performance metrics.

    Instead, the document focuses on the technical and physical performance characteristics of a medical device (a thrombectomy system) designed for the non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi. The "acceptance criteria" mentioned in the document refer to engineering and material performance specifications rather than diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity.

    Therefore, I cannot fulfill all parts of your request as the provided text does not contain information about:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes assessed through a study with a test set of data (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy for an AI system). The "acceptance criteria" listed are for bench and laboratory tests (e.g., Kink/Bend Verification, Tensile and Torque Strength Verification).
    2. Sample size used for the test set and data provenance: There is no mention of a "test set" in the context of diagnostic data. The "testing" refers to physical device performance.
    3. Number of experts used to establish ground truth and their qualifications: Ground truth in this context would typically refer to a diagnosis or an outcome for a dataset. The document refers to engineering verification of device function.
    4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable based on the content.
    5. Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: Not mentioned. The approval is for a physical medical device, not a diagnostic AI tool.
    6. Standalone (algorithm only) performance: Not applicable.
    7. Type of ground truth used: Not applicable in the diagnostic sense. The "ground truth" for these tests are engineering specifications.
    8. Sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an AI/machine learning device requiring a training set in the conventional sense.
    9. How ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    Summary of "Acceptance Criteria" and "Study" as described in the provided 510(k) (focused on device function, not diagnostic performance):

    The "studies" conducted were a series of bench and laboratory (in-vitro) tests to demonstrate the physical and functional performance of the device and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    Table: Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (from the document's perspective)

    Additional Information Extracted from the Document:

    • Sample size for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable in the context of diagnostic data. The "tests" mentioned are engineering and material tests, likely involving a number of units of the device. There is no mention of patient data (retrospective/prospective, country of origin).
    • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. The "ground truth" for these tests are established engineering and material standards and specifications. Expertise would be in engineering and testing methodologies, not clinical diagnosis.
    • Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
    • If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: No.
    • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: No.
    • The type of ground truth used: Engineering specifications and ISO/ASTM standards for material and device performance.
    • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable; this is not an AI/ML device.
    • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    In essence, the provided document is a 510(k) clearance for a physical medical device (a thrombectomy system), not a diagnostic algorithm or AI product. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "studies" refer to the physical and functional performance of the device itself, rather than its performance in interpreting medical data or assisting human readers.

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

    The document does not specify the exact sample sizes for each test attribute. The study relies on bench and laboratory (in-vitro) testing, which typically involves testing a defined number of device units or components to statistical significance or to demonstrate compliance with a specification. The data provenance is prospective as the testing was conducted specifically for this submission to evaluate the subject devices. The country of origin of the data is not explicitly stated but is implied to be where Imperative Care, Inc. conducts its R&D and testing.

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

    This information is not applicable as the study involves bench and laboratory (in-vitro) testing of physical device properties against established engineering and performance specifications, not human interpretation of medical data. Therefore, there is no "ground truth" established by medical experts in this context.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable, as this was not a human-reader study requiring adjudication of expert opinions. The adjudication for bench testing is typically based on whether the test results meet or exceed the predefined pass/fail criteria.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size

    No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging AI systems where human readers interpret medical images. The current submission pertains to the substantial equivalence of a medical catheter based on physical and mechanical performance.

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

    This question is not applicable to the device described. The device is a physical medical catheter, not a software algorithm. The "standalone" performance refers to the physical and mechanical performance of the catheter itself, which was evaluated through bench and laboratory testing without human "in-the-loop" performance in the context of interpretation or decision-making.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for this device's evaluation is defined by established engineering and performance specifications based on standards such as ISO 10555-1, as well as internal design requirements. These specifications act as the objective criteria against which the device's performance is measured.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable. The device is a physical medical catheter, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a training set.

    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.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the submission for a medical device called the "Zoom 6F Insert Catheter." This is a regulatory submission to the FDA, demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, the "Impress Angiographic Catheter."

    Crucially, this document does not describe an AI/ML device. It describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its performance through bench and laboratory (in-vitro) testing against physical specifications, not algorithm performance. Therefore, many of the requested items related to AI/ML device testing (e.g., sample size for AI test sets, expert consensus for ground truth, MRMC studies, training set details) are not applicable to this document.

    However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the physical device as presented.

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) Summary describes a device (TracStar LDP Large Distal Platform, Zoom 88 Large Distal Platform, Zoom 88 Large Distal Platform Support) intended for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature. The submission is for a line extension and manufacturing process improvements, referencing a predicate device (K212224). Therefore, the study details provided are focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device, rather than a de novo clinical trial for a new product with absolute performance metrics against a disease state.

    Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The acceptance criteria for this 510(k) submission are based on the performance of the device against a set of predefined specifications derived from an existing standard (ISO 10555-1 for catheter performance) and internal engineering requirements. The reported device performance is simply "Pass" for all tested attributes, indicating that the subject device met these specifications.

    Test AttributeAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Delivery, Compatibility, and Retraction (Trackability)The catheter shall be able to be delivered, deployed, and retracted per the IFU within a simulated neurological model without incurring any damage to the catheter.Pass

    Coating - Particulate and IntegrityThe amount of particulate matter generated during simulated use testing shall be determined and compared to competitive products and techniques. There were no coating anomalies or significant wear observed post simulated use.Pass
    Coating – Lubricity and DurabilityCoating must be lubricious with a specified average pull force.Pass

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

    The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for each bench and laboratory test. It states that "Bench and laboratory (in-vitro) testing was completed" and references "simulated neurological model" and "simulated use testing," indicating an in-vitro experimental setting.

    Data Provenance: The data is generated from in-vitro bench and laboratory testing conducted by the manufacturer, Imperative Care, Inc. The country of origin of this data is not explicitly stated, but it is implied to be internal testing. The data is retrospective in the sense that it evaluates the performance of the manufactured devices against pre-established specifications.

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

    This type of information is not applicable to this 510(k) submission. "Ground truth" established by experts (e.g., radiologists) is typically relevant for studies validating diagnostic or AI-driven devices against clinical outcomes or expert interpretation, such as in an MRMC study. This submission focuses on the physical and mechanical performance of a medical device (catheter) through bench testing.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Since the evaluation is based on objective measurements and predefined specifications in bench testing (e.g., absence of kinking, passage through a simulated model), there is no adjudication method as typically understood in clinical or expert-reviewed studies. The "Pass/Fail" results are determined by whether the device meets the quantitative and qualitative requirements of the test 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

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This submission is for a percutaneous catheter, not an AI-driven or diagnostic device that involves human reader interpretation. Consequently, there is no discussion of human reader improvement with or without AI assistance.

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

    No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This device is a physical medical instrument (catheter), not a software algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    The "ground truth" in this context refers to the pre-established physical and mechanical performance specifications laid out in the test attributes and derived from standards like ISO 10555-1 and internal engineering requirements. It is a benchmark of expected functional performance, rather than a clinical or pathological diagnosis.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This question is not applicable as this is not a machine learning or AI-driven device. There is no concept of a "training set" for physical device performance testing.

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

    This question is not applicable as this is not a machine learning or AI-driven device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the "Imperative Care Radial 088 Access System." The document extensively outlines the device, its intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and performance data supporting its substantial equivalence. However, it does not describe the acceptance criteria and study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria in terms of clinical performance measures such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or diagnostic effectiveness.

    The document focuses on engineering and material-based performance tests commonly used for medical devices like catheters, ensuring they meet specified physical and material properties. It does not involve a study with a "test set" in the context of diagnostic or AI-driven medical devices (which would typically involve patient data and expert ground truth). Therefore, many of the requested items, particularly those related to diagnostic performance and AI studies, cannot be extracted from this document.

    Intended Use

    The TracStar LDP Large Distal Platform is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature.

    The Zoom 88 Large Distal Platform is indicated for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature.

    Device Description

    The Imperative Care Large Distal Platform (LDP) Catheters include the TracStar™ LDP Large Distal Platform and Zoom™ 88 Large Distal Platform. The LDP Catheters are 0.038" diameter or smaller guidewire compatible single lumen guide catheters that provide access to peripheral, coronary and neuro vasculature. The catheters are comprised of a hollow cylindrical tube bonded at the proximal end to a standard luer fitting. The wall of the tube is constructed using a combination of metal coils/braids and medical grade polymers. The distal section of each catheter has a hydrophilic coating to enhance tracking through tortuous vasculature. An angled distal soft tip facilitates smooth tracking past vessel branches. A radiopaque marker provides visual confirmation of the distal tip location under fluoroscopy. LDP Catheters have an inner diameter of 0.088" (6F compatible), and a maximum outer diameter of 0.110". The LDP guide catheters are packaged with a rotating hemostasis valve (RHV) that is attached to the proximal luer to help maintain hemostasis.

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

    The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes (number of units tested) for each individual bench and laboratory test. It generally refers to "bench and laboratory (in-vitro) testing." The data provenance is in-vitro, conducted in a laboratory setting. There is no information regarding country of origin of the data or if it was retrospective or prospective, as these terms typically apply to clinical studies with human participants.

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

    This information is not provided. For performance testing of a medical device like a catheter, "ground truth" is typically established by physical measurements, engineering specifications, and adherence to recognized standards (like ISO 10555-1), rather than expert consensus on interpretive data.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not applicable and not provided. Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies involving interpretation of data (e.g., imaging) by multiple readers to resolve discrepancies. The performance tests described here are objective, pass/fail engineering tests.

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

    No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission is for a medical device (catheter) and relies on bench and laboratory testing for substantial equivalence, not comparative clinical effectiveness with human readers.

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

    This question is not applicable to the device described. The TracStar LDP Large Distal Platform and Zoom 88 Large Distal Platform are physical guide catheters, not algorithms or AI software. Therefore, there is no "algorithm only" or "human-in-the-loop" performance to report.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    For the bench and laboratory tests, the "ground truth" is based on pre-defined engineering specifications and performance standards, particularly ISO 10555-1 for catheters. The results are objective measurements against these established criteria, leading to a "Pass" or "Fail" outcome.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This information is not applicable. The device is a physical catheter, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set. The substantial equivalence pathway relies on demonstrating that the new device performs similarly to a predicate device through bench testing, not on learning from a dataset.

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

    This information is not applicable, as there is no training set for a physical medical device.
