Intended Use
The SplitWire Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Scoring device is indicated for the use with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) catheters to facilitate dilation of stenoses in the iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infrapopliteal, and renal arteries and treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
Device Description
The SplitWire Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Scoring Device is designed to facilitate the dilatation of stenoses. The SplitWire device is intended to be used with a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty balloon catheter. The SplitWire device consists of two (2) wires that are joined at the distal end. The larger wire (scoring wire) has a triangular profile near the distal end, that when the balloon is inflated applies pressure to the lesion being treated. The smaller wire (tracking wire) is used to position the PTA balloon catheter in the proper location adjacent to the lesion. There are two (2) radiopaque markers bands on the tracking wire that indicate the location for the PTA balloon catheter placement. The distal section of the SplitWire is designed to be atraumatic with a radiopaque coil for visibility. The distal section is coated with a soft polymer.

The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and physical interaction with the lesion, with no mention of AI/ML terms or data-driven analysis.

Yes.
The device is indicated for facilitating dilation of stenoses and treating obstructive lesions in various arteries and fistulae, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is described as a "Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Scoring device" indicated to "facilitate dilation of stenoses" and "treatment of obstructive lesions." Its function is to apply pressure to a lesion to aid in dilation, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (wires, radiopaque markers, coating) and bench testing related to these physical attributes, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the SplitWire Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Scoring device is used with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) catheters to facilitate the mechanical dilation of stenoses within blood vessels. This is an in vivo procedure (performed within the living body), not an in vitro test (performed outside the body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a therapeutic intervention (facilitating dilation of stenoses) within the patient's vascular system.

Therefore, the SplitWire device is a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description: 4.

The SplitWire Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Scoring Device is designed to facilitate the dilatation of stenoses.

The SplitWire device is intended to be used with a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty balloon catheter.

The SplitWire device consists of two (2) wires that are joined at the distal end. The larger wire (scoring wire) has a triangular profile near the distal end, that when the balloon is inflated applies pressure to the lesion being treated. The smaller wire (tracking wire) is used to position the PTA balloon catheter in the

7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence:

Comparative functional testing to the predicated devices was performed based on device attributes, performance and safety. Bench testing was conducted to ensure that the SplitWire device performed as intended. Testing included:

  • General requirements for intravascular catheters: ISO 10555-1
  • Angioplasty Catheter Dilation Performance Testing ●
  • . Compatibility with PTA Balloon Catheters
  • . Simulated Use Testing

In Vivo GLP animal testing (Reference Exhibit 8) showed equivalence during use for safety. Testing results revealed the subject device to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

8. Conclusions:

The subject device, the SplitWire Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Scoring Device, has the same intended use as the predicate device, the VascuTrak PTA Dilation Catheter (K063657). Bench testing and non-clinical testing supplied within our submission demonstrates that there are not any differences in their technological characteristics thereby not raising any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the SplitWire Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Scoring Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the VascuTrak PTA Dilation Catheter (K063657).
