Intended Use
The NEUROSCOUTTM Steerable Guidewires are intended for selective placement of microcatheters and other devices within the neuro and peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The hydrophilically coated NEUROSCOUT 0.014 guidewires consist of a stainless steel wire core and a radiopaque platinum/tungsten coil on the distal tip. The basic principle of the guidewires is to act as a monorail that catheters can track over to reach a particular area of the neuro and peripheral vasculature. They have a nominal outside diameter of 0.014 inch and nominal overall length of up to 300 cm.
More Information

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

No.
The device is described as a guidewire intended for selective placement of microcatheters and other devices, acting as a monorail for catheters, not directly providing therapy.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that the guidewires are used for the mechanical purpose of guiding other devices (catheters) within the vasculature, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical guidewire made of stainless steel and platinum/tungsten, intended for placement within the vasculature. It is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility of transfusions, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The NEUROSCOUTTM Steerable Guidewires are described as devices intended for selective placement of microcatheters and other devices within the neuro and peripheral vasculature. This is an in vivo (within the living body) procedure, not an in vitro examination of specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any analysis of biological samples, diagnostic testing, or providing information about a physiological or pathological state based on sample analysis.

The NEUROSCOUTTM Steerable Guidewires are a type of interventional medical device used to facilitate procedures within the body's vascular system.

Summary of Performance Studies

Preclinical testing data to demonstrate that the device performs according to its description and intended use were used to establish the performance characteristics of the modifications to this device. Clinical testing was not required to establish substantial equivalence. Testing was conducted in accordance with FDA Guidance for Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guidewires, 1995 and included Tensile, Torque Strength, Torqueability, Tip Flexibility/Linear Stiffness, Kink Radius, Lubricity and Catheter Compatibility, Coating Integrity and Simulated Use. Biocompatibility screening was conducted to confirm that modifications did not affect the biocompatibility of the device. Animal studies were conducted to ensure that the user needs were adequately addressed.
