Intended Use
The Transend™ 300 ES Guidewire and Transend™ 300 Floppy Guidewire are intended for general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature. The guidewires can be torqued to facilitate the selective placement of diagnostic or therapeutic catheters. These devices are not intended for use in coronary arteries. A torque device (pin vise) is included to facilitate directional manipulation of the guidewires.
Device Description
The Transend™300 ES Guidewire and Transend™ 300 Floppy Guidewire are intended for general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature. The 300cm length allows exchange of therapeutic devices without the use of other exchange devices, i.e. extension wires. The Transend™300 ES Guidewire and Transend™ 300 Floppy Guidewire have a nominal diameter of 0.014". All device materials, manufacturing processes and product dimensions are identical to the Boston Scientific Scimed ChoICE™ ES 300cm exchange guidewire and the ChoICE™ 300cm Floppy exchange guidewire.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical guidewire and its mechanical properties and intended use. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No.
The document states that the guidewires facilitate the "selective placement of diagnostic or therapeutic catheters," implying that the guidewires themselves are not therapeutic devices but rather tools used to position other devices that may be therapeutic.

No

The device is a guidewire primarily used for facilitating the placement of other catheters, which can be diagnostic or therapeutic, but the guidewire itself is not described as performing a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical guidewire, a hardware component, and includes performance studies related to physical properties and biocompatibility.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the guidewires are for "general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature" to facilitate the placement of diagnostic or therapeutic catheters. This describes a device used within the body for procedural guidance, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its use as a physical tool for navigating blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a procedural tool used directly in the patient's vasculature.

Dear Mr. Prendergast:

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.
