Intended Use
The CPS Courier Guidewires are intended for use in the coronary and peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Courier Guide wire is a disposable medical device designed for single use only. It consists of a 0.014" diameter stainless steel core wire, the distal end of which is reduced in diameter in a progressive fashion through a centreless grinding operation. The profile of this reduced section affords the product a reduced area of stiffness. The quide wire comes in 5 unique base models distinguished by their distal flexibility portions, the profile varied to provide a range of products of mixed stiffness. This reduced section is covered with a polymer coating of equivalent diameter to the main core body. Underneath the polymer at the distal tip there is a 0.010" platinum/tungsten alloy platinum coil attached to the distal tip of the core by means of solder joints. This provides greater visibility on x-ray equipment.

No
The device description focuses on the physical construction and materials of a guidewire, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies are also focused on physical properties and biocompatibility.

No.
The device description and intended use indicate it is a guidewire for navigating coronary and peripheral vasculature, which is a supportive tool for procedures, not a device directly applying a therapeutic effect.

No
The device is a guidewire used for navigation in the vasculature and does not perform any diagnostic function. Its purpose is to facilitate the placement of other devices, and its radiopacity feature is for visibility during a procedure, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a stainless steel core wire, polymer coating, and a platinum/tungsten alloy coil, indicating it is a hardware 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 is for use in the coronary and peripheral vasculature. This indicates a device used within the body for a procedural purpose (guiding other devices), not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire with a core wire, coating, and radiopaque tip. This is a medical device used for intervention, not a reagent, instrument, or system used for in vitro examination of specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This guidewire does not fit that description.

(4) Summary of Substantial Equivalence

The CPS Courier quidewires have minor design differences with the predicate Brivant guidewire. The Brivant Guidewire has the same intended use and fundamental technology as the predicate Brivant Guidewire. The technical features are closely similar and where there are differences these differences are minor such that they do not affect safety or effectiveness and there is also supporting data to demonstrate that the new technical features have not diminished safety or effectiveness - as a result the CPS Courier Guidewire is substantially equivalent to the Brivant Guidewire predicate.

Dear Mr. Furey:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21

CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding postmarket surveillance, please contact CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics' (OSB) Division of Postmarket Surveillance at 240-276-3474. For questions regarding the reporting of device adverse events (Medical Device Reporting (MDR)), please contact the Division of Surveillance Systems at 240-276-3464. You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
