Intended Use
Endo-Glide Guidewires are intended to be used for selective cannulization of the biliary ducts, including but not limited to, the common bile, cystic, right and left hepatic ducts during endoscopic biliary procedures for catheter introduction and exchanges.
Device Description
The Endo-Glide Guidewire has a range of diameters from 0.025" to 0.035" and lengths from 250cm to 450cm. The wires are offered with and without a 50mm radiopaque platinum distal tip (curved and straight). The wires are assembled with a solid nitinol or stainless steel core wire, which can be tapered at the distal tip. A lubricious coating (PTFE or hydrophilic) surrounds the entire core and/or tip, which also provides insulation.

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, describing a guidewire for endoscopic procedures. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI/ML.

No
The device is a guidewire intended for selective cannulization during endoscopic biliary procedures, facilitating other tools, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a guidewire for "selective cannulization of the biliary ducts" during endoscopic procedures, facilitating catheter introduction and exchanges. Its function is procedural assistance, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like wires, core materials (nitinol, stainless steel), coatings (PTFE, hydrophilic), and a radiopaque tip, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility of potential transfusions, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the Endo-Glide Guidewire clearly indicate it is a device used within the body during a medical procedure (endoscopic biliary procedures) to facilitate the introduction and exchange of other catheters. It is a tool for navigating and accessing anatomical structures, not for analyzing biological specimens outside the body.

The information provided aligns with a surgical or interventional device, not an IVD.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
