    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA submission for the PowerPICC® EtOH and PowerPICC SOLO®2 EtOH Catheters does not contain a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance in the typical format one might expect for a detailed performance study. Instead, it states that "The subject devices met all predetermined acceptance criteria derived from the above listed references and demonstrated substantially equivalent performance as compared to the cited predicate devices."

    The submission describes the types of tests performed and the standards referenced, implying that the acceptance criteria are linked to these standards and the performance of the predicate device. However, it does not explicitly list the specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., "burst pressure > X psi") or the exact reported performance values.

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


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    As mentioned above, a direct table is not present. The document generally states that "The subject devices met all predetermined acceptance criteria... and demonstrated substantially equivalent performance." The acceptance criteria would have been derived from the referenced standards and safety/performance tests.

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryGeneral Description of Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from context)Reported Device Performance
    Material/Catheter PropertiesConformance to specifications for open-ended, radiopaque polyurethane, reverse taper design, depth indicators, colorants, markings.Met all predetermined acceptance criteria.
    Mechanical PerformanceDemonstrated appropriate assembly leak, tensile strength, elongation, modulus, fatigue, ISO Luer compliance, burst pressure, radiopacity, catheter leak under vacuum, and valve function.Met all predetermined acceptance criteria.
    FunctionalityDemonstrated required gravity flow, priming volume, power injection capability, central venous pressure monitoring, stylet compatibility, and ink adherence.Met all predetermined acceptance criteria.
    BiocompatibilityConformance to ISO 10993 series for cytotoxicity, pyrogenicity, subacute/subchronic toxicity, sensitization, irritation/intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, subchronic/subcutaneous implant toxicity, genotoxicity, implantation studies, hemolysis, prothrombin time, unactivated thromboplastin time, dog thrombogenicity, platelet and leukocyte counts, and compliment activation, chronic toxicity.Met all predetermined acceptance criteria.
    Sterilization & PackagingConformance to ISO 11135 and ISO 11607 standards for validation and routine control of ethylene oxide sterilization and packaging requirements.Met all predetermined acceptance criteria.
    Risk ManagementConducted in accordance with ISO 14971:2012.Successfully completed.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for any of the tests. The document mentions "Verification and validation tests have been performed," but does not provide specific sample quantities (e.g., number of catheters tested for burst pressure).
    • Data Provenance: The tests are referred to as "in-house protocols" performed by Bard Access Systems. The country of origin is not specified but implicitly would be the USA given the company's address and FDA submission. The nature of these tests (retrospective or prospective) is not discussed but for device performance tests, they would inherently be prospective (i.e., conducted on newly manufactured devices).

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

    This type of information (expert review for ground truth) is typically relevant for AI/ML device submissions, particularly those involving image analysis or diagnostic interpretation. For a physical medical device like a catheter, "ground truth" is established by direct physical, chemical, and biological testing against established standards and validated methods. Therefore, this section is not applicable in the context of this device and submission. The "experts" would be the engineers, scientists, and technicians conducting and evaluating the performance and safety tests, and their qualifications are not detailed in this submission.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Similarly, adjudication methods (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus) are typically for subjective interpretations, such as clinical reads in AI/ML performance studies. For physical device performance tests, the results are generally objective and quantitative (e.g., a burst pressure value). Therefore, an explicit adjudication method is not applicable to the performance and safety tests described here. Results are evaluated against predetermined acceptance criteria.

    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

    An MRMC study is relevant for AI-assisted diagnostic devices. This submission pertains to a physical intravascular catheter. Therefore, an MRMC study was not conducted, and this section is not applicable.

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

    This refers to the performance of an AI algorithm without human involvement. Since this is a physical medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm, a standalone algorithm performance study was not applicable and therefore not done.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    For this physical medical device, the "ground truth" for showing it meets acceptance criteria is established through:

    • Engineering Specifications: Conformance to dimensional tolerances, material composition, etc.
    • Validated Test Methods: The results of performance tests (e.g., burst pressure, flow rate, tensile strength) conducted according to recognized industry standards (ISO, ASTM) and internal protocols.
    • Biocompatibility Standards: Assessment against the criteria outlined in the ISO 10993 series for biological safety.
    • Predicate Device Performance: The primary comparison for substantial equivalence relies on demonstrating that the new device performs similarly to or better than legally marketed predicate devices, especially for existing functionalities. For new functionalities (like ethanol compatibility), dedicated tests (e.g., material degradation after ethanol exposure, though not explicitly detailed here) would establish its ground truth against the claim.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This question relates to the development of AI/ML models. Since this submission is for a physical medical device and does not involve AI/ML, there is no training set in this context, and thus no sample size for a training set.

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

    Again, this is applicable to AI/ML device development. As there is no AI/ML component, there is no training set and therefore no ground truth established for a training set in this context.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided submission describes non-clinical performance testing for the "Extension Set for Bard® Proximally Valved Catheters." This is a medical device for fluid administration, not an AI/ML powered device, therefore many of the requested categories are not applicable.

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

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    EvaluationPredetermined Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Assembly LeakNo leaks at 43.5 psi minimum (air method used)Met
    Gravity Flow750 ml/hr minimumMet
    Priming VolumeNA, test and report results (results are reported to have been generated though values not specified)Met
    Assembly TensileMust withstand an axial, static tensile force of 15 N (3.37 lbs) for 15 secondsMet
    ISO 594 - 1 & 2 Luer TestingMust pass acceptance criteria outlined in ISO 594-1 and -2.Met
    Aspiration FlowNA, test and report results (results are reported to have been generated though values not specified)Met

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

    The document does not explicitly state the sample size for each specific test. The testing is described as "bench performance testing," which implies laboratory-based testing of manufactured devices. There is no information regarding the country of origin of data or whether it was retrospective or prospective, as no human data was involved.

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

    Not applicable. This device is an extension set for catheters, and the testing involved bench performance criteria, not medical image interpretation or clinical outcomes requiring expert ground truth.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. There was no expert adjudication process described as the testing was non-clinical bench testing against predetermined engineering specifications.

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

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, and no MRMC study or human reader performance evaluation was conducted or is relevant for this type of device.

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

    Not applicable. This is not an algorithmic device. The performance evaluation focuses on the physical properties and functionality of the extension set itself.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for this device's acceptance criteria are established engineering, mechanical, and safety standards and internal protocols (e.g., ISO standards for infusion equipment, Luer fittings, tensile strength requirements, leak integrity, and flow rates).

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    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

    Not applicable. As there is no training set mentioned.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for the PowerPICC SOLO™ Catheter, specifically addressing its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. The information provided heavily focuses on regulatory compliance, device description, and safety testing rather than a clinical study evaluating specific performance metrics against acceptance criteria that are typically found in AI/ML-based device submissions.

    Therefore, many of the requested sections (e.g., acceptance criteria, test set details, expert ground truth, MRMC study, training set details) are not directly applicable or available from the provided text for this non-AI/ML device.

    Here's a breakdown of the available information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    This section is largely Not Applicable in the way it's typically understood for AI/ML device performance. For this medical device (a catheter), "acceptance criteria" and "performance" are framed in terms of meeting established industry standards and demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than achieving specific numerical targets on a test set.

    Criteria CategoryAcceptance Criteria (Not explicit as numerical targets, but compliance with standards)Reported Device Performance and Study Type
    BiocompatibilityCompliance with ISO 10993-1: Evaluation and Testing and FDA Modified ISO 10993 Test Profile for externally communicating, blood contacting, long-term devices.Met. Biocompatibility requirements have been met. (Study type: Laboratory testing against ISO 10993 standards).

The device "met the minimum requirements that are considered adequate for its intended use and is substantially equivalent in design, materials, sterilization, principles of operation and indications for use to current commercially available catheters/cited predicates." (Study type: Comparison to predicate devices and documentation of compliance with standards). |

    2. Sample size used for the test set and data provenance

    Not Applicable (N/A) for this type of device submission. The provided text details engineering and biocompatibility testing against established standards and predicate devices, not a test set of data (e.g., medical images for an AI algorithm). The provenance of data refers to the source of materials or components used in the device, rather than patient data.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

    Not Applicable (N/A). This concept is for AI/ML models that rely on expert annotations for ground truth. This is a physical medical device.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    Not Applicable (N/A). Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for resolving discrepancies in expert labeling for AI/ML ground truth.

    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 (N/A). This is not an AI-assisted device, and thus, no MRMC study involving human readers with/without AI assistance was conducted or reported.

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

    Not Applicable (N/A). This is a physical catheter, not an algorithm.

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

    Not Applicable (N/A) in the context of clinical "ground truth" for diagnostic or prognostic endpoints. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is its adherence to established international and FDA medical device performance standards and its physical and material properties, as demonstrated through laboratory testing.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not Applicable (N/A). This device does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning.

    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.
