The Everest 20cc Inflation Device/Survival Kit is to be used to facilitate the use of catheters and guide wires during interventional procedures. The Everest 20cc Inflation Device is designed to inflate/deflate balloon catheters as well as to monitor pressure within the balloon. The Y/Tri-Adapter with Hemostasis Valve is designed to be used on a guiding catheter or dilatation catheter to control backbleeding and to provide a port for introduction of fluids into the interventional system. The Guide Wire Insertion Tool is designed to facilitate placement of a guide wire tip through the Y/ Tri-Adanter and into the wire lumen of an interventional catheter. The Guide Wire Steering Handle is designed to hold a small diameter guide wire and provide a handle for manipulating the wire.

Medtronic's Everest™ Disposable Inflation Device is a sterile 20cc inflation device with a locking mechanism that is operated via a trigger. Normally, the locking mechanism is engaged. Once the trigger is pulled back, the locking mechanism is released and the piston can be manually manipulated. The Everest™ 20 Device is outfitted with a manometer with measuring pressures ranging from vacuum to 20 bars in 0.5bar increments. The Everest™ 30 Device is outfitted with a manometer with measuring pressure reading from vacuum to 30 bars in 1 bar increments. A high pressure connecting tube with a male rotating adapter and a disposable 3-way stopcock are also included to aid in preparation of the device. When purchased as a "Survival Kit", the package includes a Y-/ Tri-Adapter with hemostasis valve, a Guide Wire Insertion Tool and a Steering Handle.

The document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for Medtronic's Everest™ Inflation Device and Survival Kits. This is a medical device, and the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, primarily through non-clinical testing related to packaging and shelf-life, rather than clinical efficacy. Therefore, a traditional "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria in terms of clinical performance or an AI algorithm's performance isn't applicable here.

Instead, the document details the acceptance criteria for packaging performance and shelf-life, and the tests conducted to show the device meets these criteria. The approval is based on the device being "substantially equivalent" to an existing, legally marketed predicate device, not on demonstrating new clinical efficacy.

Here's the information requested, adapted to the context of this device submission:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria for this device relate to its packaging and shelf-life, ensuring it maintains sterility and integrity. The document states that "No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing. The test data demonstrated that the modified Medtronic's Everest™ Inflation Devices is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device." This implies that all tested criteria were met.

Due to the nature of the document detailing specific tests rather than numerical performance metrics for each acceptance criterion, a direct table of "performance" for each against a criterion is not provided with exact values. However, the document lists the performed tests, which serve as the acceptance criteria. The "Reported Device Performance" is broadly stated as successful.

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

The document does not explicitly state the numerical "sample size" for the non-clinical packaging and shelf-life tests. This type of information is typically found in the full test reports, which are not included in this summary.

The "data provenance" is internal to Medtronic (manufacturer), based on testing performed on the modified Everest™ Inflation Devices. It is retrospective in the sense that the tests are performed on manufactured devices to confirm design and material changes maintain equivalence.

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

This question is not applicable to this type of device submission. The tests are physical and chemical property tests on packaging and product integrity, not diagnostic or clinical assessments requiring expert human interpretation or "ground truth" establishment in the medical sense. The "ground truth" here is the physical measurement or observation of the packaging and device components against engineering specifications and regulatory standards.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. Physical performance tests on a device's parts and packaging do not typically involve adjudication methods like those used for interpreting medical images or clinical outcomes. The results are obtained directly from laboratory measurements and observations.

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 device (inflation balloon and accessories) is a mechanical tool used in interventional procedures. It is not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool, and therefore, an MRMC study comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance is irrelevant.

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

Not applicable. This device does not involve an algorithm or AI component.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the non-clinical tests (packaging and shelf-life), the ground truth is established by engineering specifications, industry standards (e.g., ISO 15223-1 mentioned for symbols), and regulatory requirements for medical device packaging integrity and sterility. The outcome of these tests determines if the device meets these pre-defined physical and performance benchmarks.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set."

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

Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.
