Intended Use
The SmartWire Pressure Guide Wire is indicated for use to measure pressure in blood vessels including both coronary and peripheral vessels, during diagnostic angiography and/or any interventional procedures. Blood pressure measurements provide hemodynamic information for the diagnosis and treatment of blood vessel disease.
Device Description
The SmartWire II is a steerable guide wire with a pressure transducer mounted 3 cm proximal to the tip. The SmartWire measures pressure when used with the SmartMap®, WaveMap®, and ComboMap® Instruments. The SmartWire II is available in a diameter of 0.014" (0.36 mm), lengths of 185 cm and 300 cm, and different tip flexibilities. The SmartWire II is packaged preconnected to the connector with a torque device to facilitate navigation through vasculature.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a pressure guide wire and associated instruments for measuring blood pressure. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis beyond basic pressure measurement. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
The device is used to measure pressure for diagnostic purposes and does not provide therapy.

Yes
The device is described as measuring pressure in blood vessels to provide "hemodynamic information for the diagnosis and treatment of blood vessel disease," explicitly stating its role in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "steerable guide wire with a pressure transducer mounted 3 cm proximal to the tip," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The SmartWire Pressure Guide Wire is used inside the body to directly measure pressure within blood vessels. It is an invasive device used during procedures.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for measuring pressure in blood vessels during diagnostic angiography and interventional procedures. This is a direct measurement within the patient's body.

Therefore, based on its function and intended use, the SmartWire Pressure Guide Wire is a medical device used in vivo (within the living body), not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Van Duker:

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.
