The Trevo Retriever is indicated for use to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke to reduce disability in patients with a persistent, proximal anterior circulation, large vessel occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) or middle cerebral artery (MCA)-M1 segments with smaller core infarcts (0-50cc for age
The Trevo Retriever consists of a flexible, tapered core wire with a shaped section at the distal end. Platinum markers at the distal end allow fluoroscopic visualization. In addition, the shaped section is also radiopaque. Retriever dimensions are indicated on product label. The Retriever delivery wire has a hydrophilic coating on the distal 101cm length to reduce friction during use. The Retriever has a shaft marker to indicate proximity of Retriever tip relative to Microcatheter tip. A Torque Device is provided with the Retriever to facilitate manipulation and retrieval. The Retriever comes preloaded in an insertion tool to introduce the Retriever into a Microcatheter.
The acceptance criteria for the Trevo NXT ProVue Retriever are not explicitly stated in numerical thresholds within the provided text. However, the document asserts that the device is substantially equivalent to its predicate device (K210502) and that the performance is "similar" to established safety and performance profiles. The primary change supported by this submission is a labeling modification concerning the minimum vessel diameter for certain models.
Here's an attempt to structure the information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Note: The document does not provide specific quantitative acceptance criteria or numerical performance metrics for the Trevo NXT ProVue Retriever. Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate, particularly in the context of a labeling change for compatibility. The "performance" assessment is qualitative, focusing on "similar performance and safety profile".
Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Substantial Equivalence and Clinical Analysis Goal) | Reported Device Performance (from Retrospective Analysis) |
---|---|
Demonstrated similar performance and safety profile in smaller vessels. | Use of Trevo NXT ProVue Retriever 3 mm and 4 mm models in vessels with diameters of 1.5 to 2.5 mm has a similar performance and safety profile using available procedural data compared to their use in vessels with diameters ≥ 2.5 mm. (This is the key finding to support the labeling change). |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Description: A "retrospective analysis of device performance per vessel size" was conducted.
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The analysis was performed "using The ASSIST Registry data." The number of cases or patients included in this retrospective subgroup analysis is not provided.

Note: The document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device, specifically regarding a change in labeling for compatibility with smaller aspiration catheters. It doesn't explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria for primary clinical endpoints of the device itself in the context of a de novo submission. Instead, it demonstrates through comparative data that the modified use case (with smaller catheters) maintains equivalent performance to the established use case.
Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Successful Clot Retrieval and Recanalization (Simulated Use) | Simulated Use testing met acceptance criteria. |
Acceptable Particulate Generation | All test samples met the applicable user needs and acceptance criteria for particulate characterization when used with AXS Vecta 46 Intermediate Catheter. |
Equivalence in Functional Outcome (Modified vs. Predicate Use) | Regression analysis of RWD indicated that using Trevo with 0.046in (1.17mm) ID aspiration catheters is equivalent to using Trevo with larger aspiration catheters with similar odds of good functional outcome (Odds Ratio: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.44-1.17). |
Equivalence in Safety Endpoints (Modified vs. Predicate Use) | Regression analysis of RWD indicated similar odds for multiple safety endpoints when using Trevo with 0.046in (1.17mm) ID aspiration catheters compared to larger ones. |
Equivalence in Revascularization Rates (Modified vs. Predicate) | Registry data confirmed equivalence of revascularization rates for eTICI>2c, with a 90% CI for the difference in means of severity-adjusted posterior probabilities from 0.003 to 0.009 (0.30% to 0.90%). This was within the equivalence margin of ±5%. |
Equivalence in 90-day Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) (Modified vs. Predicate) | Registry data confirmed equivalence for 90-day MRS, with a 90% CI for the difference from -0.050 to 0.042 (-5.0% to 4.2%). This was within the equivalence margin of ±5%. |

The Trevo Retriever consists of a flexible, tapered core wire with a shaped section at the distal end. Platinum markers at the distal end allow fluoroscopic visualization. In addition, the shaped section is also radiopaque. Retriever dimensions are indicated on product label. The Retriever delivery wire has a hydrophilic coating on the distal 101cm length to reduce friction during use. The Retriever has a shaft marker to indicate proximity of Retriever tip relative to Microcatheter tip. A Torque Device is provided with the Retriever to facilitate manipulation and retrieval. The Retriever comes preloaded in an insertion tool to introduce the Retriever into a Microcatheter.
This document is an FDA 510(k) Summary for the Stryker Neurovascular Trevo NXT ProVue Retriever, seeking to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (K192207). It explicitly states that there are no changes to the device's intended use or indications for use. The core of the submission revolves around the fact that the only change made to the device is a re-naming convention for stent size, referring to "cell coverage length" instead of the previous naming convention. Therefore, the performance data presented is minimal and specifically targets this labeling change.
Because the device itself, its materials, manufacturing, and intended use are unchanged from a predicate device, and the only change is in how a dimension is described for labeling purposes, the study design for proving acceptance is significantly different from what would be expected for a novel device or a device with new functionalities.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Acceptance Criteria (Test Purpose/Method) | Reported Device Performance/Conclusion |
---|---|
Dimensional Verification (Cell Coverage Length) | Purpose: To describe the procedure and technique of making dimensional measurements using various measurement equipment. |
Method: Verify dimensions using specified measurement tool. Record measurements. | (Specific measurements are not provided in this summary, but the conclusion states they meet criteria.) |
(Note: The document explicitly states "There are no changes to the device intended use or indications for use statement. Other than the addition of cell coverage length as a new design input and associated labeling change, there are no changes in the device design, materials, manufacturing, packaging and sterilization methods; therefore, biocompatibility data, bench performance data, sterilization and stability data from the predicate device (K192207) are directly applicable to the subject device." This means the acceptance criteria for most performance aspects are implicitly met by referencing the predicate device's prior approval.)
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for the "Dimensional Verification" test. This type of bench testing typically involves testing a statistically significant number of units; however, the exact number is not provided in this summary.
- Data Provenance: The study is a bench test conducted by the manufacturer, Stryker Neurovascular, based in Fremont, California, USA. The data would be prospective, as it's a verification test for a specific change.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not Applicable. For this submission, the "ground truth" for the acceptance criteria is a direct engineering/dimensional measurement, not a clinical or interpretive assessment requiring expert consensus. The acceptance is based on whether the measured "cell coverage length" falls within engineering specifications.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable. As this is a bench test verifying a dimensional specification, there is no need for expert adjudication. The measurement results are compared against predefined engineering tolerances.
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 study was not done. This device is a mechanical thrombectomy device, not an AI/imaging diagnostic device. The submission explicitly states "No animal or clinical studies were conducted as there is no change to the indications for use or the fundamental scientific technology."
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only, without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The ground truth for the "Dimensional Verification" was engineering specifications/tolerances for the newly defined "cell coverage length."
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is a hardware device, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. This is a hardware device, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly mentioned for each specific performance test. The design validation states "All Users observed that the Trevo NXT ProVue Retrievers successfully met all the design attribute evaluations...". For biocompatibility, standard ISO tests were performed, which usually involve specific numbers of samples or animals as per the standard.
- Data Provenance: The studies are non-clinical (bench testing and in vitro simulated-use studies) and biocompatibility tests. They are not clinical studies involving human patient data, so concepts like country of origin or retrospective/prospective are not applicable in this context. The simulated-use studies were conducted internally for device verification and validation.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated. The design validation study mentions "Users evaluated the device in a simulated use tortuous anatomical model". It doesn't specify if these "Users" are experts in establishing ground truth, nor their number or qualifications as one would typically see in a clinical study where expert consensus might establish ground truth for a diagnostic device. In this context of a mechanical device, performance is evaluated against defined physical and functional criteria rather than expert interpretation.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable as this is a device performance study focusing on physical and functional attributes, not a study requiring adjudication of clinical outcomes or interpretations.
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 is a non-clinical evaluation of a mechanical thrombectomy device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or decision support system.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For performance testing, the "ground truth" (or reference standard) is based on defined engineering specifications, industry standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM), and predetermined functional requirements. For example, a successful test means the device's dimension falls within a specified range, or it withstands a certain force, or it shows no damage after simulated use.
- For biocompatibility testing, the ground truth is established by the criteria outlined in recognized international standards (ISO 10993-x), which define acceptable biological responses (e.g., hemolysis ≤ 5%, not a sensitizer).
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is a non-clinical evaluation of a mechanical thrombectomy device, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable.
