Intended Use
The Safe-Steer™ Guide Wire System is indicated for use in facilitating the placement of catheters used in percutaneous interventions in native coronary arteries with total occlusions.
Device Description
The IntraLuminal Therapeutics, Inc. SAFE-STEER™ Guide Wire System is comprised of a sterile single-use guide wire with an integrated optical fiber. The guide wire is used with a support catheter of choice that will accommodate a .014" guidewire. The optical fiber in the guide wire is connected to a reusable Optical Coherence Reflectometry (OCR). The guide wire core has an embedded optical fiber that transmits near infrared light and the reflection is relayed back to the OCR unit and then a unique intensity versus distance measurement is exhibited on the OCR display. The trace of the slope on the OCR display distinguishes the distance from the tip of the wire and the vessel wall. The display output exhibits the relative distance between the wire tip and vessel wall. The guide wire is provided in lengths of 175 cm and 275 cm long and has a diameter of 0.014" with a lubricious hydrophilic coating in the distal region. The guide wire is sterilized by ethylene oxide and packaged to maintain the sterile barrier.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components (guide wire, optical fiber, OCR unit) and the display of raw data (intensity versus distance measurement, trace of the slope). There is no mention of algorithms, learning, or automated interpretation of the data beyond displaying the relative distance.

Yes
The device is described as a guide wire system that facilitates the placement of catheters for percutaneous interventions in coronary arteries, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as a guide wire system that facilitates the placement of catheters. While it uses an optical fiber to provide distance measurements from the vessel wall, its primary function is to guide catheter placement, not to diagnose a condition. The information provided (intensity versus distance measurement) is for navigational purposes during a procedure, not for disease detection or characterization.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of a sterile single-use guide wire with an integrated optical fiber, a support catheter, and a reusable Optical Coherence Reflectometry (OCR) unit, all of which are hardware components. While there is software involved in processing the OCR data, the device is not solely software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of disease.
  • Device Function: The Safe-Steer™ Guide Wire System is a medical device used within the body during a percutaneous intervention procedure. It facilitates the placement of catheters in coronary arteries.
  • Mechanism of Action: It uses optical technology (OCR) to provide real-time information about the distance between the guide wire tip and the vessel wall during the procedure. This is a guidance and navigation tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The device description clearly indicates its use as a tool for guiding catheters within the coronary arteries, which is an in vivo (within the living body) application, not an in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) diagnostic test.
