More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical guide wire with a hydrophilic coating and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement of other devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures, not to treat a medical condition itself.

No
The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement of other devices during procedures and is not used to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "jacketed core wire with a hydrophilic coating," which are physical components, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the placement of devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures." This describes a tool used within the body during a medical procedure, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical wire with a coating, designed for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in specimens
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on specimen analysis.

The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire is a medical device used in vivo (within the body) to aid in procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Christensen:

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 additional controls.
