- Design Verification (Bench-Top Testing) .
- Sterilization ●
- . Shelf life
The subject Lantern Delivery Microcatheter met all predetermined requirements.
## 1.10.1 Biocompatibility Testing
Biocompatibility testing previously performed on the predicate device substantiates the biocompatibility of Lantern. Studies were selected in accordance with EN ISO 10993-1 guidelines (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices). All studies were conducted pursuant to 21 CFR, Part 58, Good Laboratory Practices. The following tests were performed:
| Test | Acceptance Criteria | Results |
|----------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| In vitro Cytotoxicity (MEM<br>Elution) | Sample extracts must yield cell lysis<br>grade $\le$ 2 | Grade: 1 (slight) |
| Sensitization (Magnusson-<br>Kligman Method) | Test Group shall yield Grade $<$ 1 score<br>on Magnusson and Kligman scale<br>(provided Control Grade $<$ 1) | Non-sensitizing |
| Irritation (Intracutaneous<br>Reactivity) | The difference in the mean test article<br>and mean control score must be grade<br>1.0 or lower | Non-irritant |
| Systemic Toxicity (Acute) | | |
| Acute Systemic Injection | Sample extracts must not cause<br>significant biological reaction greater<br>than control. That is:<br>Death in 2 or more animals Toxic signs (i.e. convulsions,<br>prostration) Weight loss > 10% in 3 or more<br>animals | Non-toxic |
| Material Mediated Rabbit<br>Pyrogen | Sample extracts must not cause a total<br>rise in body temperature of $\ge$ 0.5° C | Non-pyrogenic |
| Hemocompatibility | | |
| Hemolysis – Indirect Contact | Sample extracts must be nonhemolytic<br>( $\le$ 2% hemolytic index) | Non-hemolytic |
| Complement Activation | The concentrations of C3a and SC5b-9<br>in the test samples are statistically<br>similar to the predicate control and<br>statistically lower than the positive<br>control for all exposure times | No greater biological<br>response than corresponding<br>control |
{6}------------------------------------------------
| Test | Acceptance Criteria | Results |
|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------|
| Thrombosis (Dog<br>Thrombogenicity) | Device must be non-thrombogenic after<br>4 hours in vivo when compared to<br>control device | Non-thrombogenic |
### 1.10.2 Bench-top Testing
Testing was based on the design specifications, risk analysis and available guidance documents. These guidance documents include:
- Guidance on Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submission for Short-Term and ● Long-Term Intravascular Catheters (FDA - 1995)
- . EN ISO 10555-1:2013,Sterile, single-use intravascular catheters – Part 1: General Requirements.
The physical and mechanical properties of Lantern Delivery Microcatheter were assessed using standard test methods and pre-determined acceptance criteria. Devices used for mechanical testing were assembled and packaged in the controlled production environment and sterilized twice using an ethylene oxide sterilization cycle. All established acceptance criteria were met. The following tests were performed:
- Packaging inspection ●
- Dimensional/visual inspection ●
- Inspection of design features
- Hub/ air aspiration ●
- Steam shaping
- Kink resistance ●
- Simulated use ●
- Torsion ●
- Corrosion ●
- Particulate ●
- Friction ●
- Static burst pressure ●
- Tensile / elongation ●
All testing met specification. The results of the tests appropriately address the physical and mechanical performance expectations of the device. Based on these overall results, the physical and mechanical properties of the Lantern Delivery Microcatheter are acceptable for the intended use and substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
# 1.11 Sterilization
The Lantern Delivery Microcatheter is sterilized using a validated EO sterilization process in accordance with EN ISO 11135-1:2014. Sterilization of Health Care Products – Ethvlene Oxide – Part 1: Requirements for Development, Validation and Routine Control of a Sterilization Process for Medical Devices. Sterilization validation is based on prior testing performed with the modified predicate device.
{7}------------------------------------------------
# 1.12 Pyrogenicity
The Lantern Delivery Microcatheter has established to be non-pyrogenic based on the prior material mediated rabbit pyrogen biocompatibility testing performed on the predicate, and LAL validation testing performed on the modified predicate. In the LAL validation, three lots of the longest effective length modified predicate were tested for inhibition via the kinetic turbidimetric test method. All three lots met the acceptance criteria of < 2.15 EU/ device. Therefore, production lots of both the predicate device and Lantern are routinely monitored to ensure < 2.15 EU/ device with existing LAL validation.
# 1.13 Shelf life
The Lantern Delivery Microcatheter has established a shelf life of 36 months based on prior testing performed with the modified predicate device.
# 1.14 Summary of Substantial Equivalence
The Lantern Delivery Microcatheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with regard to intended use, operating principle, design concept, materials, shelf-life, packaging, and sterilization processes.
