Intended Use
The Parodi Guidewire is designed to direct a catheter to the desired anatomical location during diagnostic or interventional procedures.
Device Description
The Parodi Guidewire Assembly is a disposable medical device designed for single use only. It is a multi-component system which can be manipulated to vary the stiffness characteristics as required during a procedure. The device is available in 2 main configurations: 2-piece system: Comprising a 0.014" guidewire and Outer 0.035" member. 3-piece system: Comprising a 0.014" guidewire, Outer 0.035" member and an Intermediate stiffener. A 3-piece system is depicted in figure 1 below. The Intermediate Stiffener is not present in a 2-piece system. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal portion of the wire of the 0.014" guidewire and the 0.035" outer assembly. PTFE coating is applied to the proximal portions of these devices. The wire is packaged in a polyethylene hoop contained within a sealed pouch. A torque device is included within the pouch to assist with torquing the device if required.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and components of a guidewire, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a guidewire designed to direct a catheter during diagnostic or interventional procedures, which are not therapeutic in nature. Its function is to facilitate access rather than directly treat a condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the Parodi Guidewire is designed for use during "diagnostic or interventional procedures." This indicates that it aids in diagnostic processes, even if it's not performing the diagnosis itself.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, multi-component guidewire system made of materials like PTFE and packaged with a torque device. This is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "direct a catheter to the desired anatomical location during diagnostic or interventional procedures." This describes a device used within the body to facilitate a procedure, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire system designed for manipulation and insertion into the body. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • 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 diagnostic information about a patient's health status

The Parodi Guidewire is clearly an invasive medical device used to guide other instruments within the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

In vitro bench testing was performed to support a determination of substantial equivalence (i.e. tip flexibility, lateral stiffness, tip flexibility and device compatibility) between the Parodi Guidewires (in its various configurations) and the predicate devices.
The results of these tests provide reasonable assurance that the proposed device has been designed and tested to assure conformance to the requirements for its intended use and performs comparably to the predicate devices. The differences in construction and materials between the Parodi wire and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness such that the Parodi Guidewire is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
In vitro bench testing performance evaluations demonstrated that the Parodi Guidewire met the acceptance criteria defined in the product specification and performed comparably to the predicate.
Biological Safety of the device has been established through biocompatibility testing carried out in compliance with ISO 10993-1.
