More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical guide wire and its intended use and testing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement of other therapeutic devices (balloon dilatation catheters), but it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is described as a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters. Its function is to assist in a medical procedure, not to identify a disease, condition, or health status.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical guide wire constructed from stainless steel with a PTFE coating and a radiopaque coil tip. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the VP Wires are used to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and/or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This is a procedure performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire used for navigation within blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to directly interact with the body during a procedure like angioplasty.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Summary of Performance Studies

Animal, Bench, and Biocompatibility testing was conducted according to the relevant Animal, Donom, and 20 demonstrate that the FlowCardia VP Guide Wires met the acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate devices. The following functional tests were performed: Tensile Strength, Torque Strength, Torqueability, Tip Itunctional tests were periority, Biocompatibility, and Catheter Compatibility. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing.
