Intended Use
The Safe-Cross® Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System is indicated for use in facilitating the placement of devices used in percutaneous interventions in native coronary and peripheral arteries with total occlusions. The device is not to be used in the carotid arteries.
Device Story
System uses Optical Coherence Reflectometry (OCR) to visualize wire tip position within vessels; delivers Radio Frequency (RF) energy to distal wire tip to ablate tissue, creating passage for wire advancement through arterial occlusions. Includes High Dynamic Range Console for improved light penetration/reflection and reinforced crossing wires. Used in clinical settings by physicians during percutaneous interventions. Provides real-time navigation and tissue ablation capability to facilitate device placement in difficult occlusions. Benefits include improved ability to cross total occlusions, potentially reducing procedural complexity.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification of console optics module and software validation performed. Crossing wire testing included biocompatibility, tensile strength, friction, torque response, and package integrity.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises RF generator console and crossing wires (.014" or .035"). Employs Optical Coherence Reflectometry for navigation and RF energy for tissue ablation. EtO sterilized. Software-controlled console. Materials include standard catheter/wire components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring percutaneous interventions in native coronary and peripheral arteries with total occlusions. Contraindicated for use in carotid arteries.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A catheter guide wire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a torque device that is manually operated, non-patient contacting, and intended to manipulate non-cerebral vascular guide wires, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

## Device Description:
The Safe-Cross® Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System provides Optical Coherence Reflectometry for navigation through vessels allowing visualization of the Safe-Cross Crossing Wire tip. Radio Frequency energy is provided to the wire's distal tip in order to ablate tissue to create a passage for wire advancement through difficult sections of arterial occlusions. The System was modified to add a High Dynamic Range Console to the product line, which allows more light to penetrate and reflect off tissue improving the overall range of the system; and to modify the Crossing Wires to reinforce the distal tip.
The Safe-Cross Crossing Wires are provided EtO sterile for single use in the following sizes:
- .014" x 275 cm, straight or angled tip packaged with Safe Torquer and tip shaping tool; Coronary . and Peripheral use.
- .035" x 275 cm, straight or angled tip packaged with Safe-Cross Torquer; Peripheral use only. .
## Intended Use:
The Safe-Cross® Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System is indicated for use in facilitating the placement of devices used in percutaneous interventions in native coronary and peripheral arteries with total occlusions. The device is not to be used in the carotid arteries.
#### Predicate Devices:
K050915 - Safe-Cross® Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System (Intraluminal Therapeutics) K050916 - Safe-Cross® Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System (Intraluminal Therapeutics)
#### Substantial Equivalence:
The modified Safe-Cross System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate Safe-Cross devices now manufactured by Kensey Nash Corporation. Devices have same basic design and same materials, processing, intended use and fundamental scientific technology.
## Non-Clinical Testing:
The Safe-Cross System has undergone the following testing: Console optics module verification and software validation: Crossing Wire biocompatibility, tensile, friction, torque response/strength and package integrity. Testing provides reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for its intended use.

Dear Ms. Fatzinger:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120.
