Intended Use
The IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices during PTCA, PTA, or other intravascular interventional procedures. The IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature.
Device Description
The IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires with ICE® hydrophilic coating are steerable, spring-tipped guide wires. The IQ™ Hydrophilic is available in a nominal diameter of 0.014 inches, Moderate Support, and nominal lengths of 185 and 300 centimeters with Brachial and Femoral marks at 90cm and 100cm respectively. The distal three centimeters of all models are radiopaque spring coils and available in either a straight shapeable or a pre-formed J-Tip. The IQ™ Hydrophilic corewire consists of a PTFE coated SS corewire segment joined via a nickel-chromium alloy coupler to a tapered Nitinol corewire segment. The distal segment of this corewire is coated with an adhesive pre-coat that is jacketed with a Tungsten loaded polyurethane sleeve. This polymer sleeve is coated with ICE® Hydrophilic coating. A SS centering sleeve attaches a SS ribbon to the distal end of the corewire. The distal most portion of the corewire, the centering sleeve and the SS ribbon reside within the hollow center of the 3-cm spring-coil. The 185-centimeter version of the IQ™ Hydrophilic is designed with a proximal extension section that allows connection to the AddWire™ Extension Wire.

No
The description focuses on the physical construction and materials of a guide wire, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device description and intended use clearly state that the guide wires "facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices," indicating they are tools for delivering other therapies, not therapeutic themselves.

No
Explanation: The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement of other therapeutic devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like wires, coatings, and coils, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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 guide wires are used to facilitate the placement of other devices during intravascular interventional procedures. This is a procedural device used in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a guide wire designed for navigating blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. IVDs typically involve analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids or samples.

Therefore, the IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires are a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the Intended Use of placement and exchange of balloon dilatation catheters or other Device therapeutic devices during PTCA or PTA or other intravascular interventional procedures. The IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature. The devices are provided non-pyrogenic, sterile, and intended for one procedure only.

Technological The IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires utilize similar materials and Characteristics methods of construction as the currently marketed PT2™ Guide Wire family of quide wires. The differences in construction are the addition of a spring-coil to the distal most tip and a SS ring at the ribbon/corewire joint.

Non-Clinical Test Testing and evaluation of the IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires Summary included torque response, tip prolapse, tip shapeability, marker location, coating adherence/presence, tensile, combined load, visual inspection, polymer peel, device compatibility, biocompatibility, and product shelf-life. Test results verified that the IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires met all of the minimum requirements and are adequate for their intended use. The IQ™ Hydrophilic Guide Wires are considered to be substantially equivalent to guide wires currently marketed by Boston Scientific based on a comparison of intended use, design and the results of in vitro testing and evaluation.

Dear Ms. Rossi:

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.
