Device Description
The ACUITY Steerable Stylet is intended for delivery of the ACUITY Steerable Lead in the coronary veins. The stylets come in either soft or standard stiffness, and in three lengths (to match the ACUITY Steerable Lead lengths). The stylet consists of a stainless steel wire with a polypropylene knob/cap assembly at the proximal end. The distal end of the wire has a taper and terminates in a bullet shaped tip. Both soft and standard stylets have the same base wire diameter. The difference in stiffness is due to a slight difference in the diameter within the taper at the distal end of the wire.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and materials of a steerable stylet, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a steerable stylet, intended for delivery of a lead in the coronary veins. It is an accessory to a therapeutic device (the lead), not a therapeutic device itself.

No
This device, a steerable stylet, is used for the delivery of a lead, which is an interventional procedure. The description and intended use do not indicate any diagnostic function, such as detecting, monitoring, or analyzing physiological states or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical stylet made of stainless steel wire with a polypropylene knob/cap assembly, 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 for the delivery of a lead within the coronary veins. This is an in vivo procedure (within a living organism), not an in vitro procedure (testing samples outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device is a physical stylet used to guide a lead. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the ACUITY Steerable Stylet is a medical device used for a therapeutic or procedural purpose, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION 1.1.

The ACUITY Steerable Stylet is intended for delivery of the ACUITY Steerable Lead in the coronary veins. The stylets come in either soft or standard stiffness, and in three lengths (to match the ACUITY Steerable Lead lengths).

The stylet consists of a stainless steel wire with a polypropylene knob/cap assembly at the proximal end. The distal end of the wire has a taper and terminates in a bullet shaped tip. Both soft and standard stylets have the same base wire diameter. The difference in stiffness is due to a slight difference in the diameter within the taper at the distal end of the wire.

1.2. INTENDED USE

For use with compatible, transvenous, left ventricular, pace/sense leads.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 1.3.

Comparisons of the ACUITY Steerable Stylet and the predicate devices show that the technological characteristics such as Intended Use, material, nominal diameter, assembly, dispensing hoop design, package pouch, sterilization method, sterilization indicator, and shelf life are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices.

TESTING DATA 1.4.

Testing demonstrated that the ACUITY Steerable Stylet met the acceptance criteria. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing program. The ACUITY Steerable Stylet may be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

CONCLUSION 1.5.

The Guidant ACUITY Steerable Stylets are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Firm Straight 0.016 Stylet, Model 6602 (K905674, cleared 1/30/1991) and Tapered 0.016 Stylet, Model 6583 (K843060, cleared 9/20/1984).
