Intended Use
The Safe-Cross® Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System is indicated for use in facilitating the placement of devices used in percutaneous interventions in native coronary arteries with total occlusions.
Device Description
The Safe-Cross™ Radio Frequency (RF) Total Occlusion (TO) Crossing System consists of a the following: - 0.014" Safe-Cross RF Crossing Wire -- Straight and Angled Tip (with Torquer) . - Safe-Steer™ Optical Coherence Reflectometry (OCR) Unit with . Display Monitor - Safe-Cross RF Generator with Footswitch and Interface Cable . The Safe-Cross RF Crossing Wire is similar to the prodicate guidewire in construction and intended use. The proximal end of the Crossing Wire is connected to a Y-Site hub that houses the optic fiber connector and the RF connector. The optical connector is connected to the OCR Unit to allow the medical practitioner to visualize structures within the vessel for navigation purposes. The RF connector is connected to the RF Generator. This allows the medical practitioner to provide discrete RF energy to the distal tip to assist in moving the wire tip through the occlusion in the vessel. The RF Crossing Wire is packaged in a Tyvek® sealed plastic tray. The packaged RF Crossing Wire is sterilized by ethylene oxide gas. The packaged RF Crossing Wire is provided "STERILE" and Non-pyrogenic, and is intended for single use only.

No
The document describes a system using radio frequency energy and optical coherence reflectometry for visualization and crossing of coronary artery total occlusions. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is used to facilitate the placement of devices in percutaneous interventions by assisting the medical practitioner in moving a guidewire through total occlusions in coronary arteries using RF energy, which directly interacts with and impacts the physiological condition of the patient by addressing the occlusion.

No

The device is indicated for facilitating the placement of devices used in percutaneous interventions by crossing total occlusions, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one. While it uses Optical Coherence Reflectometry (OCR) for visualization, this visualization is for navigation purposes during the therapeutic procedure, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a crossing wire, OCR unit with display monitor, and an RF generator with footswitch and interface cable.

Based on the provided text, the Safe-Cross® Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the placement of devices within native coronary arteries with total occlusions. This is an in vivo procedure, meaning it is performed within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The device components (crossing wire, OCR unit, RF generator) are designed for direct interaction with the patient's anatomy (coronary arteries) during a medical procedure.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used in native coronary arteries, which are part of the human body.
  • Input Imaging Modality: While it uses Optical Coherence Reflectometry (OCR), this is used for visualization within the vessel during the procedure, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Performance Studies: The studies mentioned include in vivo animal studies and human clinical studies, which are typical for devices used directly on patients.

In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The Safe-Cross System does not fit this description. It is a medical device used during a procedure on a patient.
