Intended Use
The BridgePoint Medical Entera guidewires are intended to facilitate placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other intravascular devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PCTA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The Entera guidewires are not to be used in cerebral blood vessels.
Device Description
The Entera is a conventionally constructed 0.014" diameter single use disposable guidewire that consists of a full length stainless steel shaft with proximal PTFE coating where the distal portion of the shaft is taper ground to provide distal flexibility. The distal portion also includes coaxially positioned coils, constructed of stainless steel and Pt/W for visibly under fluoroscopy. The coils are fixed to the stainless core via silver alloy solder and are optionally coated with silicone (Lake Region Medical MDX). The distal tip of the guidewire is supplied in a straight or angled geometry which transitions to a conventional rounded tip. A short extension with an approximate diameter of 0.0032" (which is a monolithic extension of the core wire) extends approximately 0.007" distal of the Entera rounded tip.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use are for a conventional guidewire with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or image processing beyond standard fluoroscopic visibility.

No

Explanation: This device is a guidewire used to facilitate the placement of other intravascular devices during angioplasty. It does not directly treat a condition but rather assists in the delivery of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is a guidewire intended to facilitate the placement of other intravascular devices, such as balloon dilatation catheters. Its function is to provide a guide for these devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guidewire constructed of stainless steel, PTFE coating, coils, and solder, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a medical device used directly within the body (intravascularly) to facilitate procedures like angioplasty. It is a physical tool used to guide other devices.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological specimens from the patient.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the BridgePoint Medical Entera guidewire is a medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description:

The Entera is a conventionally constructed 0.014" diameter single use disposable guidewire that consists of a full length stainless steel shaft with proximal PTFE coating where the distal portion of the shaft is taper ground to provide distal flexibility. The distal portion also includes coaxially positioned coils, constructed of stainless steel and Pt/W for visibly under fluoroscopy. The coils are fixed to the stainless core via silver alloy solder and are optionally coated with silicone (Lake Region Medical MDX). The distal tip of the guidewire is supplied in a straight or angled geometry which transitions to a conventional rounded tip. A short extension with an approximate diameter of 0.0032" (which is a monolithic extension of the core wire) extends approximately 0.007" distal of the Entera rounded tip.

Intended Use:

The BridgePoint Medical Entera guidewires are intended to facilitate placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other intravascular devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The Entera guidewires are not to be used in cerebral blood vessels.

Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The BridgePoint Entera guidewire is substantially equivalent to the Lake Region PTCA guidewire/Triumph (K970376), the Cordis/Brivant, Ltd. Regatta Steerable Guidewire (K073082), and the Asahi PTCA Guidewire Confianza Pro (K041531). Each of these devices are designed to facilitate placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other intravascular devices during PTCA / PTA procedures.

The BridgePoint Medical Entera guidewire is not just substantially equivalent, but is exactly the same as the Lake Region Steerable Guidewire (K970376) currently marketed by Lake Region Medical under the trade name Triumph™, with two exceptions:

  1. The Entera has a narrowed extension on its distal tip that is less than 0.014" in diameter while the Triumph™ has a standard 0.014" distal tip, and,

  2. the distal most portion of the Entera core wire (the section that resides under the distal coil) has a round cross section while the Triumph has a flattened or ribbon cross section.

The Entera and Triumph are manufactured by Lake Region Medical. The Triumph and Entera are produced using the same component materials (core wire, coil, coatings, solder etc.) and have very similar physical attributes (flexibility, radiopacity, etc). In terms of the distal tip geometries; the Lake Region Medical distal tip includes a conventional soldered and rounded .014" profile tip, while the Entera guidewire includes a very short portion of core wire that extends past the soldered and rounded distal tip. This extension is approximately 0.0032'' in diameter and 0.007" in length.

The BridgePoint Entera guidewire has a distal tip geometry that is substantially equivalent to the narrowed distal tip geometries of the Cordis/Brivant, Ltd. Regatta Steerable Guidewire, and the Asahi PTCA Guidewire Confianza Pro. The Cordis Regatta has a non-conventional narrowed "wedge shaped" tip that tapers to a dimension that is substantially less than 0.014" (exact dimension unknown). The Confianza Pro has a distal tip that gradually tapers to a 0.009" diameter.

The distal tips of each device are radiopaque and can be seen with fluoroscopy for precise placement. Each of these device are highly lubricious for smooth delivery of multiple devices. They all have stainless steel core wires.

Summary:

Based upon the intended use, descriptive information, and performance evaluation provided in this pre-market notification, the BridgePoint Entera device has been shown to be substantially equivalent to currently marketed predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Daniel:

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
