Intended Use
The Torquer is indicated for use in manipulating a guide wire in order to access discreet regions of the vasculature.
Device Description
The IntraLuminal Therapeutics Torquer is a plastic device that allows for manipulating and directional control of a guide wire. The Torquer will accommodate commercially available quide wires ranging in size from 0.014" to 0.035". The Torquer can be sideloaded onto the quide wire after the wire is in place within the catheter. When the finger tabs of the ILT Torquer are squeezed and the iaws of the ILT Torquer open, the quide wire can be placed inside. Releasing the finger tabs allows the jaws to close, capturing and firmly gripping the guide wire. The ILT Torquer is packaged in a Tyvek®/mylar pouch that is heat-sealed to form a sterile barrier. The packaged units are sterilized with ethylene oxide gas. The device is provided "STERILE", and is intended for single use only.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use describe a purely mechanical tool for manipulating a guide wire, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any form of computational processing that would suggest AI/ML.

No.
The device's intended use is to manipulate a guide wire for access, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No
The device is described as a tool for manipulating a guide wire to access regions of the vasculature. Its function is to provide mechanical control, not to diagnose a condition or derive diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "plastic device" and describes its physical manipulation of a guide wire, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used for "manipulating a guide wire in order to access discreet regions of the vasculature." This is a mechanical tool used during a medical procedure within the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate a medical procedure (accessing vasculature), not to diagnose or provide information about a patient's health status based on a sample.

The device described is a surgical or interventional tool, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

INTENDED USE

221247

The Torquer is indicated for use in manipulating a guide wire in order to access discreet regions of the vasculature.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The ILT Torquer is similar in basic materials, design, construction and mechanical performance to the predicate device.

BIOCOMPATIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE DATA

Biocompatibility testing is not required for ILT Torquer because there is no patient contact. In vitro bench studies were conducted to evaluate the performance characteristics of the ILT Torquer. Performance test results indicate that the device satisfies functional performance requirements when used as indicated.

CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM STUDIES

The results of testing demonstrate that the ILT Torquer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and is capable of safely and accurately performing the stated intended use.

Dear Ms. Misajon:

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 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4586. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address
