The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, describing a physical guide wire and its components. There is no mention of software, data processing, or any capabilities that would suggest AI/ML.
No.
This device is a guide wire used to facilitate the placement of another medical device (a lead), not to treat a condition itself.
No
The device aids in the placement of a lead, which is a procedural function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a stainless steel core, flexible tip, and various 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 is "intended to aid in the placement of a Guidant implantable coronary venous lead in the coronary venous vasculature." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a surgical or interventional procedure.
- Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire designed to be inserted into blood vessels. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, while this device is used directly within the body to facilitate a medical procedure.

Device Description
The guide wire is comprised of a stainless steel tapered core with a flexible tip, jacketed by tungsten-loaded polyurethanc on the distal portion and polytetrafluoroethylenc (PTFE) on the proximal portion of the wire. The polyurethane is covered with a hydrophilic coating to increase lubricity. The guide wire is 190 cm long with a maximum outer diameter of 0.0145. The guide wires are available with cither a straight distal tip that is shapeable, or a preformed 'J' distal tip shaped specifically for accessing the coronary sinus.

Device Description
The guide wire is comprised of a stainless steel tapered core with a flexible tip, jacketed by tungsten-loaded polyurethanc on the distal portion and polytetrafluoroethylenc (PTFE) on the proximal portion of the wire. The polyurethane is covered with a hydrophilic coating to increase lubricity. The guide wire is 190 cm long with a maximum outer diameter of 0.0145. The guide wires are available with cither a straight distal tip that is shapeable, or a preformed 'J' distal tip shaped specifically for accessing the coronary sinus.
Intended Use
The HI-TORQUE® WHISPER VIEW™ Guide Wire is intended to aid in the placement of a Guidant implantable coronary venous lead in the coronary venous vasculature.
Technological Characteristics
The HI-TORQUE® WHISPER VIEW™ Guide Wire is identical to the predicate III-TORQUE® Whisper Wire in all respects with the exception of two modifications -- an

increased tungsten load in the polyurethane coating and a change in the tempering method for the stainless steel wire core.
Performance data
The results of verification testing demonstrate that the HI-TORQUE® WHISPER VIEW™ Guide Wire meets established acceptance criteria and performs in a manner equivalent to the predicate device. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during testing.
Conclusion
The Guidant HI-TORQUE® WHISPER VIEW™ Guide Wire is similar to the predicate WHISPER Guide Wire with respect to intended use, materials, technological characteristics and performance properties, and uses sterilization processes identical to the predicate device. Testing did not identify any new safety or effectiveness concerns. Therefore the HI-TORQUE® WHISPER VIEW™ Guide Wire is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Kathleen Vittum:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
