Intended Use
The TAD / TAD II Guide Wire is intended for use in angiographic procedures to introduce and position diagnostic and interventional devices within the peripheral vasculature during percutaneous procedures. The wire can be torqued to facilitate navigation through tortuous vessels. The TAD / TAD II Guide Wire is not intended for use in coronary or neurovasculature.
Device Description
The TAD/TAD II Tapered Guide Wire is a shaping ribbon designed wire that is 0.018" nominal at the distal end and is 0.035" nominal on the proximal end. The core is tapered from the tip over 40 cm in three successive steps in diameter until it reaches its full diameter for the TAD Guide Wire and is tapered from the tip over 23 cm in two successive steps in diameter until it reaches its full diameter for the TAD II Guide Wire. The distal portion of the wire incorporates a stainless shaping ribbon inside a platinum nickel wound coil that is attached with solder at the very distal portion. The stainless steel intermediate coil tapers from 0.018" to 0.035" over a distance of 15 cm for the TAD guide wire and 10 cm for the TAD II guide wire. The proximal coil is a 0.035" PTFE coated stainless steel coil. The coils are attached to the core by solder. Polyethylene (PE) coating covers the proximal end and is attached to the proximal coil with a medical grade glue (Cyanoacrylate Ester) to ensure a smooth transition from coil to coating. Silicon is used to coat the entire length of the polyethylene tubing. Microglide® coating covers from the distal end of the proximal coil to the distal tip. TAD/TAD II Tapered Guide Wires come in lengths of 145 cm, 200 cm, 260 cm, and 300 cm. The wires that are 145 cm, 200 cm, and 300 cm (TAD only) in length are extendible using the Loc Guide Wire Extension. Each TAD/TAD II Tapered Guide Wire comes with a 0.025"- 0.038" Torque Device.

No
The device description focuses on the physical construction and materials of a guide wire, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is a guide wire used to introduce and position other diagnostic and interventional devices, not to provide therapy itself.

No

This device is a guide wire used to introduce and position other diagnostic and interventional devices, but it does not perform diagnostic functions itself.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guide wire made of various materials (stainless steel, platinum nickel, PTFE, polyethylene, silicon) and includes components like coils, a shaping ribbon, and coatings. It also mentions a torque device. This is a hardware medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "angiographic procedures to introduce and position diagnostic and interventional devices within the peripheral vasculature during percutaneous procedures." This describes a device used within the body for procedural guidance and device delivery, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of a guide wire, including materials, dimensions, and coatings. This aligns with a medical device used for navigation within blood vessels, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
  • Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical site is the "peripheral vasculature," which is within the body. IVDs typically analyze samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) in a laboratory setting.

IVD devices are designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This guide wire does not perform such tests.

Dear Ms. Smith:

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 (OS) 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) 276-0210. 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's) 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.
