The COMPASS Guiding Introducer Sheath is indicated to be used for introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the peripheral (and coronary) vasculature. The device is also intended to be used within a pediatric population.

The Fortress Introducer Sheath System is intended to provide access and to facilitate percutaneous introduction of guide wres, catheters and other devices into the femoral, popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries while maintaining haemostasis during diagnostic and interventional procedures.

The Introducer Sheath System devices consist of a coil reinforced introducer sheath with hemostasis valve and side port, as well as a dilator with a tapered tip and luer lock at the proximal end. The main introducer sheath tubing is connected at the proximal end to a hemostasis valve with side port tubing that is connected to a plastic color coded 3-way stopcock valve. The side port is used for flushing the introducer sheath. The sheath is introduced into the vascular system with the aid of the dilator. The hemostasis valve at the proximal end of the introducer sheath conforms and seals around guide wires and catheters to reduce blood leakage from the introducer sheath. A radiopaque marker helps identify the distal end of the introducer sheath. The introducer sheath has a lubricious hydrophilic coating on the outer surface in length of 20cm on the distal portion.

The System consists of the following components:

• A One Introducer Sheath with hemostasis valve
• A One or two dilator(s)

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the Catapult Guide Sheath / Introducer Sheath System. It details the device, its intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and the performance testing conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

However, the questions you've asked are typical for the evaluation of AI/ML-driven medical devices, especially related to diagnostic or classification tasks (e.g., image analysis for disease detection). The device described in the document (Catapult Guide Sheath) is a physical medical device (an introducer sheath system) used for physical introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the vasculature, not an AI/ML software device.

Therefore, the provided document does not contain the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and study proving device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device. Many of the questions (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) are irrelevant to the type of device being reviewed in this FDA submission.

Here's why and what information is available:

• Type of Device: The Catapult Guide Sheath is a Class II physical medical device (introducer catheter). It's a tool, not a diagnostic or AI algorithm.
• Purpose of Submission (510(k)): This submission is to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device (Catapult Guide Sheath Introducer Sheath System, K240957). This is a common pathway for physical devices with modifications or new physical devices that are very similar to existing ones. The core of the substantial equivalence argument relies on demonstrating that the new device performs similarly to the predicate device, especially after a material change (insourced HVA).
• "Acceptance Criteria" for this device: For this type of device, "acceptance criteria" are related to mechanical performance, biocompatibility, sterilization, and shelf-life, ensuring the device functions as intended and is safe. These are detailed in Table 2, listing the tests performed and the applicable standards.
• "Study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria": The document lists a series of non-clinical (laboratory) tests that were performed. These tests are the "study" demonstrating the device meets the performance requirements for substantial equivalence.

Therefore, I cannot fill out the detailed table and answer the specific questions about AI/ML device evaluation based on the provided text. The text focuses on the mechanical, material, and safety performance of a physical device, not the diagnostic or predictive performance of an AI algorithm.

If your intention was to ask about the evaluation of a physical medical device, I can re-frame the answer based on the provided document.

Assuming you are asking for information relevant to the physical medical device described, here's an attempt to interpret your questions in that context, recognizing that most are geared towards AI/ML:

Device: Catapult Guide Sheath / Introducer Sheath System

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

For this physical device, "acceptance criteria" relate to meeting specifications derived from regulatory standards and predicate device performance. The "reported device performance" are the results of the listed tests that demonstrated compliance.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

For a physical device, "test set" refers to the number of units tested. The specific sample sizes for each mechanical test are not detailed in this summary (they would be in the full submission). The data provenance is from non-clinical (laboratory) testing conducted by the manufacturer and external laboratories. It is not patient data, so "country of origin of the data," "retrospective or prospective" do not apply.

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

This question is not applicable. "Ground truth" in the context of AI/ML diagnostic devices refers to a definitive diagnosis or finding. For a physical device, the "ground truth" is established by the specifications and performance requirements derived from engineering principles and relevant ISO standards. No human experts are used to "establish ground truth" in this context; instead, engineers and technicians conduct specified physical and chemical tests.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. There's no "adjudication" (e.g., consensus among readers) needed for a physical device's performance testing. Test results are quantitative measurements against defined criteria.

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

Not applicable. MRMC studies are for evaluating human reader performance, typically with and without AI assistance, for diagnostic tasks. This device is not an AI diagnostic tool.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm. Its "standalone performance" refers to its mechanical and material properties as tested in the lab.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For this physical device, the "ground truth" for performance is defined by:

• International standards (ISO, AAMI, ASTM, EN): These standards define acceptable limits and testing methodologies for medical device properties (e.g., leakage, tensile strength, biocompatibility, sterility).
• Predicate device performance: The previously cleared predicate device provides a benchmark for expected performance characteristics of the new device.
• Manufacturer's internal design specifications and risk analysis: Derived from the intended use and safety considerations.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device does not involve a "training set" as it's not an AI/ML algorithm.

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

Not applicable. There is no "training set" or "ground truth" for training in the AI/ML sense for this device.

The Catapult TM Guide Sheath is indicated to be used for introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the peripheral (and coronary) vasculature.

The Catapult ™ Guide Sheath consists of a coil reinforced introducer sheath with hemostasis valve and side port, as well as a dilator with a tapered tip and luer lock at the proximal end. The main introducer sheath tubing is connected at the proximal end to a hemostasis valve with side port tubing that is connected to a plastic color coded 3-way stopcock valve. The side port is used for flushing the introducer sheath. The sheath is introduced into the vascular system with the aid of the dilator. The hemostasis valve at the proximal end of the introducer sheath conforms and seals around guide wires and catheters to reduce blood leakage from the introducer sheath. A radiopaque marker helps identify the distal end of the introducer sheath. The introducer sheath has a lubricious hydrophilic coating on the outer surface of its distal 20cm.

The Catapult ™ Guide Sheath was previously cleared under K221914 in 4 French, 5 French, 7 French and 8 French sizes, each with effective lengths of 15 cm, 60 cm or 90 cm. This 510(k) adds a 130 cm length which is available in 4 French, 5 French and 6 French sizes.

The provided text does not contain information about the acceptance criteria and study proving a device meets them in the context of an AI/ML-driven device. Instead, it describes characteristics and performance tests for a conventional medical device, the "Catapult Guide Sheath," for which a 510(k) premarket notification was submitted.

The request asks for specific details related to AI/ML device studies (e.g., sample size for test set and training set, ground truth establishers, MRMC studies, standalone performance), which are not applicable to the non-AI device described in the document.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request as it pertains to an AI/ML device. The provided text details the 510(k) submission for a medical device that is not an AI/ML device.
