2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document primarily refers to non-clinical bench testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence. It does not provide specific numerical sample sizes for each bench test conducted on the subject devices (Zoom 7X Catheter, Zoom Aspiration Tubing, Zoom POD Aspiration Tubing, and the Introducer Sheath accessories). The tests were conducted on physical devices in simulated environments.
The data provenance is from bench testing and laboratory testing performed by the manufacturer, Imperative Care, Inc. There is no indication of country of origin for the data beyond the manufacturer's location in Campbell, California. The study is a pre-market regulatory submission, and the data is generated for this specific purpose rather than being retrospective or prospective patient data.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
Not applicable. The clearance letter describes bench testing for physical device performance and biocompatibility testing. This type of evaluation does not involve establishing ground truth from human expert interpretations of medical images or patient outcomes. The "ground truth" for these tests is defined by established engineering and biological safety standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable. As described above, no human expert adjudication of a test set (e.g., for image interpretation or clinical diagnosis) was performed. The "adjudication" in this context refers to the comparison of test results against predefined acceptance criteria for physical, mechanical, and biological properties.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No. The document explicitly states:
- "Substantial equivalence was established based on non-clinical testing presented above."
- "Clinical Study: Substantial equivalence was established based on non-clinical testing presented above."
- "Animal Study: Substantial equivalence was established based on non-clinical testing presented above."
This indicates that no MRMC study or any clinical study was conducted. Therefore, there is no effect size reported for human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance. The device is a physical medical device (catheter and aspiration tubing system), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:
No. This question applies to AI/software as a medical device. The Zoom 7X Catheter and its associated aspiration tubing are physical medical devices. There is no mention of an algorithm or AI component in the device's function.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
For the device performance tests (Tables 3 and 4), the "ground truth" is defined by:
- Established engineering standards: e.g., ISO 10555-1 for catheter performance, ISO 80369-7 for Luer compatibility.
- Manufacturer's internal specifications: The acceptance criteria (e.g., specific dimensions, torque strength, burst pressure) are derived from the device's design requirements and comparison to the predicate device.
- Simulated neurological models: Used for trackability and clot retrieval tests.
For the biocompatibility tests (Table 5), the "ground truth" is based on:
- International standards for biological evaluation: e.g., ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11, ISO 10993-23.
- ASTM standards: e.g., ASTM F756-17 for indirect hemolysis.
- FDA guidance documents.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. This device is a physical medical device cleared based on substantial equivalence to a predicate through bench and biocompatibility testing, not through machine learning or AI model development that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable, as no training set was used for this device.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study details for the Imperative Care Zoom System, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
The study refers to "performance goals" but does not explicitly define each as an "acceptance criterion" with a specific threshold prior to reporting results. Based on the way the results are presented against these goals, they are treated as acceptance criteria. Performance goals were met for effectiveness and a specific safety endpoint.
| Acceptance Criteria (Performance Goal as stated in the text) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Effectiveness: Lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI > 69% for mTICI ≥ 2b in three or fewer passes of Zoom System without using other devices. | 84% (177/211; 95% CI: 78% to 89%) |
| Safety: Observed rate < 6.0% for ECASS III defined symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) at 24 hours post-procedure. | 0.9% (2/211; 95% CI: 0.1% to 3.4%) |
Study Details
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: 211 evaluable subjects for the primary effectiveness and safety analyses. The overall study enrolled 260 evaluable subjects.
- Data Provenance: Prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm pivotal clinical investigation. All 26 clinical sites were located in the United States.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- The text mentions "independent core lab adjudicated reperfusion success" for effectiveness and "adjudicated by an independent core lab and Independent Safety Board (ISB)" for sICH.
- Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated how many radiologists, neurologists, or other specialists were part of the "independent core lab" or "ISB."
- Qualifications of Experts: Not explicitly stated, but implied to be qualified medical professionals experienced in neurovascular imaging and stroke outcomes.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- The text simply states "independent core lab adjudicated" and "adjudicated by an independent core lab and Independent Safety Board (ISB)." The specific method (e.g., how many reviewers, how disagreements were resolved) is not detailed.
-
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, a multi-reader, multi-case comparative effectiveness study involving AI assistance for human readers was not done. This was a clinical trial assessing the device's direct performance in revascularization procedures.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This study evaluated a medical device (Zoom System catheters, tubing, and pump) used by human operators in a clinical setting. It is not an AI algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Effectiveness Ground Truth: Independent core lab adjudicated reperfusion success, defined by mTICI score (a grading scale for reperfusion) based on imaging.
- Safety Ground Truth: Independent core lab and ISB adjudicated symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) based on imaging (ECASS III criteria). Other secondary safety endpoints also relied on core lab and ISB adjudication, and 90-day all-cause mortality is an outcomes data point.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- This was a pivotal clinical trial for device approval, not an AI algorithm development study. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The device itself was refined through engineering and non-clinical testing.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- As this is not an AI algorithm study, the concept of a "training set" and its associated ground truth does not apply. The device's design and engineering would have been informed by preclinical studies (bench and animal testing) and previous clinical experience with similar devices.
Summary of the study:
The Imperative Trial was a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm pivotal clinical investigation that assessed the safety and effectiveness of the Zoom System for acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusions. The study enrolled 260 evaluable subjects across 26 clinical sites in the United States. The primary effectiveness endpoint was reperfusion success (mTICI ≥ 2b in three or fewer passes without other devices), which was 84% (95% CI: 78%-89%), meeting the performance goal of a lower bound > 69%. The primary safety endpoint was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), observed in 0.9% (95% CI: 0.1%-3.4%), meeting the performance goal of < 6.0%. Secondary safety endpoints included all-cause mortality, all intracranial hemorrhage, device-related SAEs, and procedure-related vessel injury. The ground truth for effectiveness and sICH was established through independent core lab and/or Independent Safety Board adjudication based on post-procedure imaging. The study concluded that the Zoom System is safe and effective for this indication.

The provided text describes the submission for a medical device called the "Zoom 6F Insert Catheter." This is a regulatory submission to the FDA, demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, the "Impress Angiographic Catheter."
Crucially, this document does not describe an AI/ML device. It describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its performance through bench and laboratory (in-vitro) testing against physical specifications, not algorithm performance. Therefore, many of the requested items related to AI/ML device testing (e.g., sample size for AI test sets, expert consensus for ground truth, MRMC studies, training set details) are not applicable to this document.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the physical device as presented.
Description of Acceptance Criteria and Study (for this physical device)
The submission details the design verification and validation testing performed on the Zoom 6F Insert Catheter to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The "study" here refers to a series of in-vitro bench and laboratory tests, not a clinical trial or an AI/ML model validation.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document provides a table (Table 2) summarizing the performance specifications (acceptance criteria) and the results ("Pass") for the Zoom 6F Insert Catheter.
| Test Attribute | Specification | Results ("Performance") |

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact number of units tested for each attribute. It mentions "Bench and Laboratory (In-vitro) testing." For medical devices, typically this would involve a statistically significant number of samples (e.g., n=3, 5, or more, depending on the test and variation) to ensure reproducibility and reliability, but the exact numbers are not provided in this public summary.
- Data Provenance: The data provenance is "Bench and Laboratory (In-vitro) testing," meaning it was conducted in a controlled lab environment. This is not clinical data, nor attributed to a specific country of origin, retrospective or prospective. It's a physical materials/engineering test.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts:
- Not Applicable. For a physical catheter, "ground truth" is established by direct physical measurements according to specified test methods (e.g., measuring dimensions with calipers, applying pressure, observing flow rates). There are no "experts" in the sense of clinical readers or annotators establishing a ground truth for a test set. Engineering and quality control personnel would perform these tests.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not Applicable. As the tests are objective physical measurements or observations against predefined specifications, there's no need for an "adjudication method" in the context of human interpretation of data. The results are either "Pass" or "Fail" based on comparison to the specification.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:
- No. This is a regulatory submission for a physical diagnostic catheter, not an AI/ML medical device. MRMC studies are relevant for evaluating the impact of AI on human reader performance for diagnostic tasks.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- No. This is a physical device, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Physical Specifications and Engineering Standards. The "ground truth" for these tests is the quantitative and qualitative performance specifications derived from medical device standards (e.g., ISO 10555-1, ISO 80369-7) and internal design requirements. For example, "Effective lengths... within specified tolerances" means the measured length must fall within the defined acceptable range.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there is no "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not Applicable. As there is no training set.

The guidewire is supplied sterile and is for single use only. It is provided in a range of stiffness profiles: support and extra support. The product is provided in lengths of 200cm or 300cm. The distal portion of the guidewire tip includes a radiopaque platinum wire marker coil to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The guidewire has a hydrophilic polymer coating on the distal portion and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating on the proximal portion to reduce friction during manipulation in vessels. The guidewire is provided with a shaping mandrel, an introducer (to aid with the insertion of the guidewire into a catheter hub and/or a hemostasis valve) and a torque device (to attach to the proximal portion to facilitate gripping and manipulation of the guidewire during use). The mandrel, introducer and torque accessory devices are included to facilitate use of the guidewire and are not intended to contact the patient's body.
The provided text describes the Zoom 14 Guidewire, a modification of Scientia Vascular's Aristotle 14 Guidewire. The submission is a 510(k) premarket notification, which means the manufacturer seeks to prove "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than entirely new safety and effectiveness.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Test | Acceptance Criteria (Implied by "met testing acceptance criteria") | Reported Device Performance (Zoom 14 Guidewire) |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Inspection | Conformity to engineering drawings and absence of defects. | The Zoom 14 Guidewires met testing acceptance criteria. |
| Dimensional | Conformity to engineering drawings. | The Zoom 14 Guidewires met testing acceptance criteria. |
| Tensile Testing | Conformity to ISO 11070 requirements. | The Zoom 14 Guidewires met testing acceptance criteria. |
| Column Buckling | Force required to buckle the tip at 5mm, 10mm, 20mm meets specified criteria. | The Zoom 14 Guidewires met testing acceptance criteria. |
| Flexing | Absence of defects, damage, or flaking of coating after flexing. | The Zoom 14 Guidewires met testing acceptance criteria. |
| Fracture | Absence of fracture, loosening, or failure after wrapping around mandrel. | The Zoom 14 Guidewires met testing acceptance criteria. |
| Torqueability | Measurement of torque response (average input to output lag) meets specified criteria in an anatomical model. | The Zoom 14 Guidewires met testing acceptance criteria. |
| Torque Strength | Torque turns to failure in an anatomical model meets specified criteria. | The Zoom 14 Guidewires met testing acceptance criteria. |
| Model Evaluation | Successful simulated use in a tortuous neurovasculature model. | The Zoom 14 Guidewires met testing acceptance criteria. |
Note: The specific numerical or qualitative "acceptance criteria" are not explicitly detailed in the document but are implied by the statement "met testing acceptance criteria" for each test. The tests were performed in accordance with ISO 11070:2014 and the FDA Guidance Document "Coronary, Peripheral and Neurovascular Guidewires – Performance Tests and Recommended Labeling (2019)."
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for each functional test. The tests are non-clinical (bench testing and model evaluation) rather than human studies. Therefore, the concept of "country of origin of the data" and "retrospective or prospective" for a test set in the traditional sense of clinical data does not apply here. The data provenance is from the manufacturer's internal testing.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This information is not applicable. The functional tests described are objective engineering and performance tests, not subjective evaluations requiring expert consensus for "ground truth" in the way clinical images or diagnoses would.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable as the tests are objective functional tests, not subjective evaluations requiring adjudication.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This is a 510(k) submission for a guidewire, which relies on non-clinical performance data and substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not a comparative clinical study with human readers assessing diagnostic accuracy.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
This information is not applicable. The device is a physical medical guidewire, not an algorithm or AI system. The "performance" described relates to its physical and mechanical properties.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance tests is based on:
- Engineering specifications and drawings: For visual and dimensional verification.
- International standards (ISO 11070:2014): For tensile testing and other general guidewire performance.
- FDA Guidance Document "Coronary, Peripheral and Neurovascular Guidewires – Performance Tests and Recommended Labeling (2019): Guiding the types of tests and likely acceptable ranges for performance.
- Risk assessment (EN ISO 14971:2012): To determine which tests were necessary.
- Anatomical models: For torqueability, torque strength, and simulated use evaluation.
Essentially, the ground truth is established by objective, verifiable technical standards and engineering benchmarks.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. The "Zoom 14 Guidewire" is a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning model that requires a training set. The device's design is based on the predicate device (Aristotle 14 Guidewire) and engineering principles, not statistical learning from a data set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable for the reasons stated above.

| Compliance ISO 10993-1 | Biocompatible | YES (implies biocompatible) |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document describes bench testing for the device. For these types of tests (e.g., electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, performance standards), the concept of "sample size" in the same way as a clinical study (e.g., number of patients) isn't directly applicable. Instead, it refers to the number of units tested. However, the document does not specify the number of units of the ZOOM™ Aspiration Pump, ZOOM™ Canister, or ZOOM™ Aspiration Tubing that were tested for each criterion.
The data provenance is non-clinical bench testing conducted by the manufacturer, Taiwan Biomaterial Co., Ltd. (TWBM). There is no mention of country of origin for specific test data in terms of patient populations or retrospective/prospective studies, as these are not relevant for the described tests.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:
This information is not applicable to the type of testing described. The listed acceptance criteria are based on established international and national standards (e.g., IEC, ISO, ANSI/AAMI). Compliance with these standards is determined by objective measurements and test procedures, not expert consensus on labels or diagnoses.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies where human interpretation of data (e.g., images) requires reconciliation among experts to establish a "ground truth" or reference standard. The testing here involves objective measurements against predefined engineering and performance standards.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study assesses how human readers' performance changes with or without AI assistance, which is irrelevant for a hardware device like an aspiration pump.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done:
No, a standalone study in the context of an algorithm's performance was not done. "Standalone" refers to the performance of an AI algorithm intrinsically, without human interaction. The ZOOM™ Aspiration Pump is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm. Its performance is measured directly against physical and functional standards.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The "ground truth" for the performance criteria is defined by the specifications and acceptable ranges established within the referenced national and international standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10079-1, IEC 60529, ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, ISO 10993-1). Compliance is determined by objective measurements meeting these predefined limits.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
This information is not applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train machine learning models. The ZOOM™ Aspiration Pump is a physical device, and its development and testing do not involve machine learning training sets.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
This information is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

De-noised images are reconstructed from softthresholded images using inverse wavelet transform. The software, which is installed on a remote computer, receives DICOM images from MRI host computer, automatically processes the received images and sends the enhanced images to a PACS server. Enhanced images exist in conjunction to the original images.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Study Information
1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
* Sample Size: A total of 64 data sets were acquired using an ACR MRI phantom.
* Data Provenance: The data was acquired using various MRI systems: GE 1.5T Excite, Siemens Avanto 1.5T, Philips Intera 1.5T, and Toshiba Titan 1.5T. The data appears to be prospectively collected as part of a validation study for the device. The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but the use of the ACR (American College of Radiology) phantom suggests a North American context.
2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
* The document does not mention human experts or their qualifications for establishing ground truth in this performance study. The ground truth appears to be based on objective phantom measurements (Signal-to-Noise Ratio and contrast resolution) as defined by the ACR quality control protocols.
3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
* None. The performance test relies on objective measurements from the ACR MRI phantom using defined protocols, not expert adjudication of images.
4. 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. A MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance was not conducted or described in this document. The study focuses solely on the objective performance of the image enhancement software itself.
5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
* Yes. The described study is a standalone performance test of the ZOOM software (algorithm only). It evaluates the software's ability to enhance SNR and maintain resolution based on phantom data, without human interaction in the evaluation process.
6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
* The ground truth is based on objective measurements derived from an ACR MRI phantom protocol. Specifically, it uses ACR quality control guidelines to measure signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and high/low contrast resolution.
7. The sample size for the training set:
* The document does not specify the sample size used for the training set of the ZOOM software. It only describes the validation/test set.
8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
* The document does not provide information on how the ground truth for the training set was established.
