Intended Use
The Medcomp .010" Vascular Guidewires are indicated for general intravascular use, including the peripheral vasculature, to facilitate the selective placement of medical devices in the vessel anatomy. This device is not intended for coronary or cerebrovascular use.
Device Description
The Medcomp .010" Vascular Guidewires are sterile, single-use devices used to facilitate intravascular medical device insertion. The proposed devices will be packaged and labeled as sterile accessories in individual pouches, or as part of kit configurations. The Medcomp .010" guidewires consist of a stainless steel core wire, which forms the proximal shaft of the guidewire - reducing in size from the proximal to the distal end, with a smooth transition to the coiled floppy distal tip secured to the end of the core. The .010" Vascular Guidewires have an outside diameter of 0.010" and are available in 45, 80 and 120cm lengths, with coil lengths of 4cm or 9.5cm. The .010" Vascular Guidewires are uncoated, or are available with a hydrophilic coating or a silicone fluid coating. The hydrophilic and silicone coatings reduce friction during use. Radiopacity of the distal coil region facilitates fluoroscopic visualization.

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

No.
The device facilitates the placement of other medical devices and does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a guidewire, which is used to facilitate the placement of other medical devices. It does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guidewire made of stainless steel with a coiled tip and optional coatings. It is a tangible medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the Medcomp .010" Vascular Guidewires are used intravascularly (inside the blood vessels) to facilitate the placement of other medical devices. This is an in vivo (inside the body) application.
  • No Mention of Specimen Testing: The document does not mention any testing of biological specimens or providing diagnostic information based on such testing.

The device is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the body, not for laboratory testing of samples.

Summary of Performance Studies

Physical testing was performed on the Medcomp .010" Vascular Guidewires following the guidance of ISO 11070 and FDA's Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guidewire Guidance (1995) to assure design integrity and performance for the intended use.

Biocompatibility testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993 to confirm safety of the proposed device materials for use in an externally communicating device with limited indirect blood path contact.

No clinical studies were performed as part of the 510(k) process as the product is comparable to products currently cleared for marketing and can be applied under the substantial equivalence claim.
