Intended Use
The Safe-Cross® Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System is indicated for use in facilitating the placement of devices used in vascular interventions of total occlusions in native iliac and superficial femoral arteries (SFA) of the lower extremities.
Device Description
The Safe-Cross Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System consists of the following: - 0.014" Safe-Cross RF Crossing Wire Straight and Angled Tip (with Torquer) . - 0.035" Safe-Cross RF Crossing Wire Straight and Angled Tip (with Torquer) . - Safe-Cross RF System Console . The modified Safe-Cross RF System is similar to the predicate Safe-Cross System. 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 input on the console to allow the medical practitioner to visualize structures within the vessel for navigation purposes. The RF connector is connected to the RF output on the console. 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 provided "STERILE" (ethylene oxide) and non-pyrogenic, and is intended for single use only.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components (RF energy, optical fiber) for visualization and crossing occlusions, with no mention of AI or ML for analysis, decision-making, or image processing.

Yes
The device is used to facilitate the placement of other devices in vascular interventions for total occlusions, which is a therapeutic purpose to address a medical condition.

No

The device is described as a system for facilitating the placement of devices in vascular interventions. It helps in moving a wire through an occlusion and allows the medical practitioner to visualize structures for navigation, which are interventional functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as "0.014" Safe-Cross RF Crossing Wire", "0.035" Safe-Cross RF Crossing Wire", and "Safe-Cross RF System Console".

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Function: The Safe-Cross Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System is used within the body to facilitate the placement of devices during vascular interventions. It directly interacts with the patient's anatomy (arteries) and uses energy (RF) to assist in navigating through blockages.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "facilitating the placement of devices used in vascular interventions of total occlusions in native iliac and superficial femoral arteries." This is a therapeutic and interventional use, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing specimens outside the body.

The device is an interventional medical device used for treatment and procedure facilitation, not for diagnosing a condition by analyzing samples.
