No
The summary describes a mechanical and electrical device for creating a channel in blood vessels using RF energy. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies.
Yes
The device is intended to "create a channel in totally occluded peripheral vessels," which is a direct therapeutic intervention to improve blood flow.
No
The device's intended use is to "create a channel in totally occluded peripheral vessels," indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. It delivers RF energy to achieve this, which is an active intervention, not a diagnostic assessment.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components including a core wire, polymer insulation, connector cable, and an active tip, indicating it is a 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 "create a channel in totally occluded peripheral vessels." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a wire that delivers RF energy to tissue. This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The RF Tunneler Wire consists of a core wire surrounded with a polymer insulation. The wire connects to a perforation generator at the proximal end via a connector cable, and has an active tip at the distal end to delivery RF energy.
The RF Tunneler Wire is designed to be compatible with most balloon and stent catheters approved for use in peripheral interventional procedures.
Intended Use
The RF Tunneler Wire is intended to create a channel in totally occluded peripheral vessels 3 mm or greater.
Comparison to Predicate Devices
The RF Tunneler Wire is similar to the Baylis Medical RF Perforation Probe in design and function. The intended use of the RF Tunneler Wire is substantially equivalent to the Safe-Cross Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System and the CLiRpath Excimer Laser Catheter in intended use.
The RF Tunneler Wire and the predicate devices are all wires used in interventional procedures. Thev all focus energy at the active tip to create channels in target tissue.
Biocompatibility. Sterilization. Packaging, and Bench Testing
Biocompatibility of the materials used in the RF Tunneler Wire has been tested and confirmed to verify compliance with safety requirements. Sterilization of the RF Tunneler Wire has been validated. Packaging of the RF Tunneler Wire has been validated.
The RF Tunneler Wire has undergone mechanical and electrical bench testing to verify compliance with safety and performance requirements. These tests include comparing the RF Tunneler Wire to a predicate device.
Conclusion
