No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of the guidewires, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, data processing, or decision support.

No
The device is described as PBN Guidewires, intended for directing a catheter through a blood vessel. Its purpose is to facilitate the placement of other medical devices (catheters), not to provide a therapeutic effect on the body itself.

No
Explanation: The device, PBN Guidewires, is described as being used for "directing the catheter through a blood vessel." This is an interventional or procedural function, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices are typically used to identify or characterize diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical guidewire made of stainless steel or nitinol, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose (guiding a catheter), not for examining specimens outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and coatings of a guidewire, which is a medical device used in interventional procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This guidewire does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Swartz:

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. Iisting 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.
