Intended Use
Indications for Use: The Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wire is intended to introduce and position over-the-wire catheters and other over-the-wire therapeutic devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature during PTCA or other intravascular interventional procedures.
Device Description
The Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wire is a steerable guide wire that has a nominal diameter of 0.014 in/ 0.36mm and nominal lengths of 180 cm and 300 cm. The guide wire is designed only for use in conjunction with the Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System. The wire is configured with a tapered distal tip and an embedded magnet, which is used for navigating the wire through the vasculature. A hydrophilic coating covers the distal portion of the wire, and a PTFE coating covers the proximal end of the wire. This device is sterilized with 100% ethylene oxide.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a physical guide wire and its use with a magnetic navigation system, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device description states that the guide wire is intended to introduce and position other therapeutic devices, rather than performing a therapeutic function itself.

No

The device is described as a steerable guide wire intended to introduce and position over-the-wire catheters and other therapeutic devices within the vasculature during interventional procedures, indicating a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "steerable guide wire" with physical dimensions, coatings, and an embedded magnet, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "introduce and position over-the-wire catheters and other over-the-wire therapeutic devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature during PTCA or other intravascular interventional procedures." This describes a device used within the body for a therapeutic or interventional purpose, not for examining specimens outside the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire designed for navigation within the vasculature, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, tissue, etc.), providing diagnostic information, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wire is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Indications for Use: The Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wire is intended to introduce and position over-the-wire catheters and other over-the-wire therapeutic devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature during PTCA or other intravascular interventional procedures.

Contraindications: This guide wire is not intended for use without the Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System. The device is not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature. Rotational atherectomy devices, and any ferromagnetic interventional devices, are contraindicated for use with the Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wires.

Appendix 1: 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Kod 3457

| Statement | Information supporting claims of substantial equivalence, as defined under
the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, respecting safety and effectiveness
is summarized below. For the convenience of the Reviewer, this summary is
formatted in accordance with the Agency's final rule "...510(k) Summaries
and 510(k) Statements..." (21 CFR §807) and can be used to provide a
substantial equivalence summary to anyone requesting it from the Agency. |

| Device
description | The Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wire is a steerable guide wire that has a
nominal diameter of 0.014 in/ 0.36mm and nominal lengths of 180 cm and
300 cm. The guide wire is designed only for use in conjunction with the
Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System. The wire is configured with a
tapered distal tip and an embedded magnet, which is used for navigating the
wire through the vasculature. A hydrophilic coating covers the distal portion
of the wire, and a PTFE coating covers the proximal end of the wire. This
device is sterilized with 100% ethylene oxide. |
| Technological
characteristics | The Assert™ Guide Wire is a conventional 0.014" coated endovascular guide
wire modified to accommodate magnetic actuation and control. It is designed
to navigate within the vasculature to deliver a suitable catheter or
interventional device to a desired site. |
| | The finished lengths of the guide wire are 180cm and 300cm. A taper runs
proximal to the distal tip. The pushable shaft is a continuous wire that allows
axial force, applied at the proximal end, to be transmitted to the tip of the
guide wire. The guide wire is used with an introducer sheath to access the
human vasculature. |
| Intended use | Indications for Use: The Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wire is intended to
introduce and position over-the-wire catheters and other over-the-wire
therapeutic devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature during
PTCA or other intravascular interventional procedures. |
| | Contraindications: This guide wire is not intended for use without the
Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System. The device is not intended for use
in the cerebral vasculature. Rotational atherectomy devices, and any
ferromagnetic interventional devices, are contraindicated for use with the
Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wires. |
| Device
comparisons | The Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wire is a minor design modification of the
currently marketed Stereotaxis Endovascular Guide Wire. The new wire has a
modified taper to the core wire profile, has a different hydrophilic coating on
the distal end, and carries a PTFE coating on the proximal end. |
| Physical testing | The Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wire was designed and tested in compliance
with the FDA "Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guidewire Guidance" dated
January 1995. The device met design input criteria and was substantially
equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device. |
| Preclinical
animal
performance
data | Testing of the Stereotaxis Assert™ Guide Wire in the swine animal model
demonstrated substantial equivalence to the currently marketed predicate
device. |
| Clinical
performance
data | No clinical studies were needed to support the modifications. |
| Substantial
equivalence | The Assert™ Guide Wire is a substantially equivalent modification of the
Stereotaxis Endovascular Guide Wire originally cleared under K021363. The
modifications described herein do not affect the intended use of the device or
alter the fundamental scientific technology associated with the device. |
