Intended Use
The TechDevice Guidewire facilitates placement and exchange of catheters and other instruments in the peripheral vasculature. This device is not indicated for neuro, or cardiac use.
Device Description
The Guidewire is constructed of a stainless steel core wire and a stainless steel or platinum coil welded/brazed in place over the core wire. The coil may cover the entire or just the floppy distal portion. The exposed core wire and or the coil may be uncoated stainless steel or coated with a PTFE spray or a PTFE jacket. Platinum marker bands may be placed under the coil to aid in visualization. Exit markers may be printed on the proximal section of the guidewire to aid the physician in determining the depth of insertion.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and mechanical properties of a guidewire, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a guidewire that facilitates placement and exchange of other instruments, making it an accessory device rather than a therapeutic one.

No

The device is a guidewire, used to facilitate the placement and exchange of catheters and other instruments. Its function is to provide access and guidance, not to obtain diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a stainless steel core wire, coil, marker bands, and coatings, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device "facilitates placement and exchange of catheters and other instruments in the peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of a guidewire, which is a tool used in medical procedures. It does not describe components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic results.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This guidewire does not fit that description.
