Balloon dilatation of the femoral, popliteal and infra popliteal arteries. These catheters are not designed to be used in the coronary arteries.
The ReeFlex™ is a balloon dilation catheter for angioplasty. It consists of a stainless steel guidewire shaft that extends from the proximal hub to the distal tip of the catheter. This stainless steel shaft has a spiral cut positioned at its distal end. The spiral cut is laser cut. A heat shrinkable layer is used to seal the spiral cut and ensure that the contrast solution remains in the inflation lumen only and does not leak into the guidewire lumen. This bodybond material is fused onto the outside diameter of the stainless steel shaft. A copolymer inflation lumen extends from the proximal hub of the catheter to the proximal shoulder of the balloon. The lumen of the shaft is used for the purpose of inflating and deflating the balloon. This outer is thermally fused to the balloon's proximal shoulder.
The balloon material is a Nylon blend. Low profile radiopaque bands are used to locate the balloon under fluoroscopy. These bands are swaged onto the bodybond material sealing the spiral cut section of the guidewire lumen.
This document describes the testing and conclusions for the ClearStream Technologies Ltd. ReeFlex over the wire Peripheral Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Catheter, seeking substantial equivalence to its predicate device, the ReeKross.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are implied by the comprehensive in vitro testing performed according to FDA guidance documents and ISO standards, with the goal of demonstrating comparable performance to the predicate device. Specific numerical acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated in the provided text, but the conclusion states that the "technological characteristics and performance criteria of the ReeFlex PTA catheter are comparable to the predicate devices."
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Visual and functional integrity | Performance deemed comparable to predicate |
Catheter body diameter within specification | Performance deemed comparable to predicate |
Inflation/deflation performance | Performance deemed comparable to predicate |
Introducer sheath withdrawal performance | Performance deemed comparable to predicate |
Balloon compliance within specification | Performance deemed comparable to predicate |
Leak and rated burst pressure (cycle) performance | Performance deemed comparable to predicate |
Average burst pressure within specification | Performance deemed comparable to predicate |
Compliance with ISO 10555-1 | Performance deemed comparable to predicate |
Compliance with ISO 10555-4 | Performance deemed comparable to predicate |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The document mentions "numerous device similarities" and that "VP 462 and VP 563 were carried out on the ReeFlex." However, the exact number of devices tested for each in vitro test is not provided.
- Data Provenance: The testing was "in vitro," meaning it was conducted in a laboratory setting. No information on country of origin of data or whether it was retrospective/prospective is applicable for in vitro testing.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. The described testing is in vitro (bench testing) and does not involve human subjects or expert assessment for ground truth. The "ground truth" for these tests would be the established engineering and performance specifications for PTA catheters.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. This was in vitro bench testing; there was no need for expert adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. This document describes in vitro bench testing for a medical device (PTA catheter), not an AI or imaging-related product that would typically undergo an MRMC study.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI product.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth implicitly used for the in vitro testing is the established performance specifications and safety standards for PTA catheters, as well as the performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device (ReeKross). The comparison is against these pre-defined engineering and regulatory benchmarks.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. There is no mention of a training set as this is not an AI/machine learning device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.
