The AnastoClip GC is intended for use in the creation of everting anastomoses in blood vessels and other small tubular structures when tissue penetration is desired. The Applier is also intended for approximation of durotomies following open craniotomy and open spinal laminectomy procedures.
AnastoClip GC Closure System is designed to create everting anastomoses of tissue. It includes the applier, clip remover, and atraumatic forceps. The AnastoClip GC applier consists of a rotating shaft and an integral cartridge containing titanium clips. As the levers of the applier are squeezed together, the clip is closed around the everted tissue edges. As the levers are released, a new clip is automatically loaded into the clip applier jaws. It is recommended, with each procedure, to use the atraumatic everting forceps to aid in the everting of the tissue edges. It is also recommended, with each procedure, to use the AnastoClip Remover for the removal of any AnastoClip GC clips when needed.

The Pruitt F3-S Polyurethane Carotid Shunt is in carotid endarterectomy as a temporary conduit to allow for blood flow between the common and internal carotid arteries.
The Pruitt F3-S Polyurethane Carotid Shunt is designed to serve as an artificial passage connecting two blood vessels allowing blood flow from one vessel to another. This is accomplished by using a clear, plastic, sterile conduit that is held in place by a stabilization technique (balloons) on both ends of the conduit. devices with balloons on both the distal (internal carotid) and proximal (common carotid) ends of the shunt. The balloons, when inflated independently, act as a stabilization mechanism to maintain the position of the shunt when it is placed within the common and internal carotid arteries. The Pruitt F3-S Polyurethane Carotid Shunt has features to aid the user during shunt insertion and balloon inflation. The inflation path of the proximal (common carotid) balloon is color-coded. Sterile saline is injected from the blue stopcock, through the blue lumen and into the blue common carotid balloon. The Pruitt F3-S Polyurethane Carotid Shunt is not made of natural rubber latex.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (Pruitt F3-S Polyurethane Carotid Shunt) and does not contain information about the performance of an AI/ML device.

The LeMills Valvulotomes are intended to cut venous valves.
The Antegrade LeMills Valvulotome consists of small metal antegrade cutting blade with atraumatic distal edge. The blade is a part of a long stainless steel wire that allows it to be inserted into the venous anatomy. It is held by a plastic handle. It is designed for cutting the venous valves. Once the valves have been rendered ineffectual, the vein can then be utilized as an arterial conduit.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Antegrade LeMills Valvulotome, a medical device. This type of document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than providing extensive details on novel performance studies and acceptance criteria as would typically be found for AI/ML-based devices or those requiring clinical trials for efficacy.
Based on the content provided, it is not possible to extract the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets them in the context of AI/ML performance, multi-reader multi-case studies, or complex ground truth establishment. This is because the device is a physical surgical tool (a valvulotome) designed to cut venous valves, and its approval relies on bench testing and comparison to existing predicate devices, not on diagnostic performance or AI algorithm validation.
However, I can extract the available information related to performance testing that was conducted:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document mentions "Functional/Safety Testing" and "Summary of Product Testing" but does not provide a specific table with acceptance criteria and corresponding reported device performance values. It generally states that the device meets performance requirements.
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Not explicitly defined in the document for specific numerical thresholds. | The verification activities conducted indicate that Antegrade LeMills Valvulotome device meets the product performance requirements of the device specifications and does not raise any additional safety issues. |
| Tests listed: | |
| Dimensional Comparison | (Implied to meet specifications) |
| Sharpness Test (Effectiveness Test) | (Implied to be effective for cutting venous valves) |
| Visual Inspection | (Implied to meet quality standards) |
| Joint Tensile Strength (Pull Test) | (Implied to meet required strength) |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified in the document. The tests appear to be bench-top physical tests performed on the device itself, rather than studies involving patient data.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable as it's not a data-driven diagnostic or AI device. The tests are for the physical properties and function of the surgical tool.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Number of Experts/Qualifications: Not applicable. Ground truth for physical device testing is typically established through engineering specifications, material standards, and functional performance benchmarks, not expert consensus on medical images or patient outcomes.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. This concept is relevant for interpreting ambiguous clinical data, not for physical device testing.
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:
- MRMC Study: No. This device is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic imaging device or an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Standalone Performance: Not applicable. There is no algorithm or AI component in this device.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- Ground Truth Type: For the physical tests mentioned (Dimensional Comparison, Sharpness Test, Visual Inspection, Joint Tensile Strength), the 'ground truth' would be the engineering specifications and design requirements for the device. For biocompatibility and sterilization, the ground truth is adherence to recognized standards (ISO 10993, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135-1:2007).
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Ground Truth Establishment for Training Set: Not applicable.

It is used for the treatment of vascular disorders, and more particularly for excising or disrupting venous valves.
The 1.5mm HYDRO Expandable LeMaitre Valvulotome is a self-centering and self-sizing valvulotome device used for cutting vein valves. The centering hoops keep the device centered in the vein. The size of the centering hoops and cutting blades adjust to the internal diameter of the vein as the valvulotome is being drawn through the vessel cutting the valves and rendering them ineffectual. The modifications to the predicate device - Expandable LeMaitre Valvulotome (ELV)- include the addition of hydrophilic coatings and co-extruded sheath to create 1.5mm HYDRO Expandable LeMaitre Valvulotome. The hydrophilic coatings provide increased lubricity and allow the device to navigating veins easier.
The provided document describes a 510(k) submission for the 1.5mm HYDRO Expandable LeMaitre Valvulotome. This is a medical device, and the submission focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria in the way a new diagnostic or AI-driven device often does.
Therefore, the structure of the response will be tailored to the information provided in a 510(k) summary for a physical medical device. Many of the requested categories (like sample size for test sets, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance of an algorithm, training set details) are not applicable to this type of submission because it's not a diagnostic or AI device.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
For this device, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by meeting product performance specifications and not raising additional safety issues, as compared to its predicate device. Specific quantitative acceptance criteria with corresponding performance values are generally not provided in this type of 510(k) summary for functional device modifications. The tests performed are primarily engineering and bench tests, with a cadaver study, to show that the modified device functions similarly and safely.
| Acceptance Criterion (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Meet product performance specifications (general) | "meets the product performance specifications" |
| Modifications do not raise any additional safety issues | "modifications do not raise any additional safety issues" |
| Achieve intended use (excising/disrupting venous valves) | Demonstrated through Cadaver Study, functional testing. |
| Biocompatibility for blood contact | "is biocompatible" |
| Sterilization validated | "is validated for ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization" |
| Maintain fundamental scientific technology as predicate | "maintains the same intended use and fundamental scientific technology as the predicate device(s)" |
| Dimensional accuracy | "Dimensional Verification" completed |
| Durability/Reliability (e.g., fatigue) | "Fatigue Testing" completed |
| Fluid dynamics/Lubricity (hydrophilic coating benefit) | "Flushability" completed |
| Ease of use (insertion/removal) | "Force to insert and remove device" completed |
| Mechanism function (opening/closing) | "Force to open and close device" completed |
| Navigability in tortuous anatomy | "Tortuous Sheathing" completed |
| Functionality in a biological environment (cutting valves) | "Cadaver Study" completed |

The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter is intended to assist in the modeling of self-expanding endoprostheses in large diameter vessels.
The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Catheter is a silicone surface coated (medical grade) modeling Catheter with an expandable Nitinol mesh in a retractable sheath. The Nitinol mesh design allows for expansion without occluding blood flow. The Nitinol mesh and radiopaque markers are highly visible under fluoroscopy and assist in the positioning of the device. The inner lumen allows for a 0.035 or 0.038 inch guidewire for over-the-wire access. Side ports and clear handle/luer allow the device and guidewire lumen to be flushed. The blue handle allows the device to be sheathed/unsheathed while the clear handle/luer controls the expansion of the Nitinol mesh. This submission modifies the current UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeline Catheter to be able to deliver higher radial outward force in order to improve stent graft modeling effectiveness (i.e., apposition of the stent graft with the vessel lumen). this device modification increases the outer diameter of the thoracic models from 14 Fr to 16 Fr.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the UnBalloon Non-Occlusion Modeling Catheter, based on the provided text:
Important Note: The provided text is a 510(k) summary and FDA clearance letter for a medical device.

Therefore, many of the typical acceptance criteria and study details for AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) are not applicable or not present in this type of submission. The device described is a physical catheter, not an AI model.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Given that this is a physical medical device and not an AI/software device, the "acceptance criteria" are related to its physical performance, safety, and functional equivalence to a predicate device. There are no explicit, quantifiable acceptance criteria presented in the format often seen for AI model performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity thresholds). Instead, the document summarizes various tests performed to ensure the device meets its specifications and is substantially equivalent.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Functional/Safety Performance | Verification activities conducted on the subject device demonstrated it "meets the product performance requirements of the device specifications and the modifications presented do not raise additional safety issues." Specific tests performed include: dimensional analysis, apposition length, radial outward force, freedom from leakage, fatigue and simulated use, force at break (bond strength), and interaction with stent graft materials. |
| Biocompatibility | All blood contact portions of the device passed biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993 guidelines, establishing it as "biocompatible." No new materials were introduced, so existing biocompatibility tests remain valid. |
| Sterilization | Device is validated for ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization according to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135-1:2007. The sterilization process remains unchanged from the predicate. |
| Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device | The modified UnBalloon is "substantially equivalent to the predicate UnBalloon catheter based on the same intended use and fundamental scientific technological characteristics." |
| Stent Graft Modeling Effectiveness (Modified) | The modification (increased outer diameter from 14 Fr to 16 Fr for thoracic models) aims "to be able to deliver higher radial outward force in order to improve stent graft modeling effectiveness (i.e., apposition of the stent graft with the vessel lumen)." Specific performance metrics for this improvement are not detailed beyond the aim. |

It is used for the treatment of vascular disorders and more particularly for excising or disrupting venous valves.
The ELV and OTW-LV are self-centering and self-sizing valvulotome used for blind lysis of vein valves. Once the valves have been rendered ineffectual, it can then be utilized as an arterial conduit. Centering hoops keep the devices centered in the vein and prevent the valve-cutting blades from damaging the vein wall. The size of hoops and blades adjusts to the internal diameter of the vein as the valvulotome is being drawn through the vessel. The OTW-LV facilitates navigation of the vein with the assistance of a guidewire.

The LeMaitre LifeSpan ePTFE vascular grafts are indicated for use as a vascular prosthesis only. The grafts are intended for bypass or reconstruction of diseased or occluded blood vessels, or for arteriovenous shunts for blood access.
LifeSpan Vascular Grafts are consisting of a base tube of expanded PTFE that is wrapped with PTFE tape for better strength. Externally supported grafts have a monofilament of PTFE wrapped over the tape for added crush and kink resistance. The stepped and tapered grafts have a small diameter end and a large diameter end. All models of the graft have a printed black orientation line consisting of "LeMaitre LifeSpan" printed repeatedly along the length of the graft. This 510k is to add an alternative ink for the printing the orientation line.
I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving device performance for the LifeSpan ePTFE Vascular Graft. The document is a 510(k) summary and FDA clearance letter, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, particularly regarding the addition of an alternative ink for an orientation line.
The key information presented is:
- Device Description: LifeSpan ePTFE Vascular Graft with an alternative ink for the orientation line.
- Predicate Devices: Baxter reinforced expanded PTFE vascular grafts.
- Study Mentioned: "Biocompatibility test was performed for the alternative new ink. The biocompatibility of the device was tested per ISO10993-1."
- Conclusion: The manufacturer "has demonstrated that the LifeSpan ePTFE Vascular Graft printed with the new ink is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on its indications for use and fundamental scientific technology."
- FDA Decision: FDA reviewed the 510(k) and determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested table and study details as this information is not present in the given text. The document does not describe a clinical study with acceptance criteria, human readers, or ground truth-setting for measuring device performance in the way a diagnostic AI or imaging device might. It's focused on materials biocompatibility and substantial equivalence for a vascular graft.

The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter is intended to assist in the modeling of self-expanding endoprostheses in large diameter vessels.
The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Catheter is a silicone surface coated (medical grade) modeling catheter with an expandable Nitinol mesh in a 14F retractable sheath. The Nitinol mesh design allows for expansion without occluding blood flow. The Nitinol mesh and radiopaque markers are highly visible under fluoroscopy and assist in the positioning of the device. The inner lumen allows for a 0.035 or 0.038 inch guidewire for over-the-wire access. Side ports and clear handle/luer allow the device and guidewire lumen to be flushed. The blue handle allows the device to be sheathed/unsheathed while the clear handle/luer controls the expansion of the Nitinol mesh. This submission modifies the current UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter by expanding the product family line with additional nitinol mesh cage sizes and catheter lengths.
This medical device is a modeling catheter used in conjunction with self-expanding endoprostheses in large diameter vessels. The provided text contains information about its acceptance criteria and the studies conducted.
Here's an analysis of the provided information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Radial outward force meets specification | Completed (implies meeting specifications) |
| Apposition Length meets specification | Completed (implies meeting specifications) |
| Simulated Anatomical Use successful | Completed (implies successful performance) |
| Biocompatibility (ISO 10993 guidelines) | All blood contact portions passed for <24 hours contact |
| Sterilization (ANSVAAMI/ISO 11135-1:2007) | Validated for ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set
The document does not specify sample sizes for the "Radial outward force," "Apposition Length," or "Simulated Anatomical Use" tests.
The provenance of the data (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) is also not mentioned. These tests appear to be laboratory-based engineering performance tests rather than clinical studies with patient data.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
This information is not applicable and therefore not provided in the document. The device verification activities ("Radial outward force," "Apposition Length," "Simulated Anatomical Use") are technical performance evaluations, not diagnostic studies requiring expert-established ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for Test Set
This information is not applicable and therefore not provided in the document. As mentioned above, the tests are technical performance evaluations.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
A MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. This device is a medical instrument (catheter), not a diagnostic or AI-driven imaging tool that would typically involve human readers.
6. Standalone Performance Study
Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was done. The document states, "The following tests have been completed to evaluate the performance of the catheter with shorter cage: Radial outward force, Apposition Length, Simulated Anatomical Use." These tests assess the intrinsic performance of the device without human-in-the-loop performance being a variable.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for the performance tests appears to be engineering specifications and established laboratory testing protocols. For biocompatibility, the ground truth is adherence to ISO 10993 guidelines. For sterilization, the ground truth is adherence to ANSVAAMI/ISO 11135-1:2007. These are objective, measurable standards rather than subjective expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data typically associated with diagnostic algorithms.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable and therefore not provided. This document describes a medical device, not an AI or machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable and therefore not provided, as there is no "training set" for this type of medical device.
