Intended Use
The BridgePoint Medical Stingray™ Guidewires are intended to facilitate placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other intravascular devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The Stingray™ Guidewires are not to be used in the cerebral blood vessels. When used as part of the BridgePoint Medical System (consisting of the CrossBoss™ Catheter, Stingray™ Catheter, and Stingray™ Guidewire), the Stingray™ Guidewire is indicated for use to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond stenotic coronary lesions (including chronic total occlusions [CTOs]) prior to PTCA or stent intervention.
Device Description
The modified Stingray™ Guidewires are conventionally constructed, single use. disposable guidewires that consist of a full-length stainless steel shaft with proximal PTFE coating where the distal portion of the stainless steel core is taper ground to provide distal flexibility. The distal portion also includes a coaxially positioned coil constructed of platinum/tungsten material for visibility under fluoroscopy. The coil is fixed to the stainless steel core wire via silver alloy solder and is hydrophilic coated. The distal tip of the guidewire is supplied with an angled geometry which transitions to a conventional rounded tip. A short extension with an approximate diameter of 0.0035" (which is a monolithic extension of the core wire) extends approximately 0.007" distal of the rounded tip.
More Information

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

No
The device is a guidewire intended to facilitate the placement of other intravascular devices and is not directly used for therapy itself.

No

This device, a guidewire, is intended to facilitate the placement of other medical devices (like balloon dilatation catheters) and is used in interventional procedures (PTCA, PTA, stent intervention). It does not provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guidewire constructed of stainless steel, platinum/tungsten, and PTFE coating, 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:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to facilitate the placement of other intravascular devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This is a therapeutic and interventional procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire designed to be inserted into blood vessels.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform any such testing on samples.

The device is an interventional medical device used within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device used to test samples outside the body.

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

The modified Stingray™ Guidewires have been evaluated using the following in vitro bench testing to confirm the performance characteristics as compared to the predicate device:

  • Tensile
  • Dimensional
  • Guidewire Insert & Withdrawal
  • Flexibility
  • Fatigue
  • Coating
  • Torque
  • Surface Defects
  • Tip Memory, and
  • Corrosion

Biocompatibility tests included:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Kligman Sensitization
  • Irritation
  • Acute Systemic Cytotoxicity
  • Pryogen
  • Hemocompatibility
  • In Vitro Hemocompatibility
  • Complement Activation Assay (Direct)
  • In Vivo Thrombogenicity, and
  • Unactivated Partial Thromboplastin Time.

All results demonstrated the materials, manufacturing processes, and design of the modified Stingray™ Guidewires met the established performance criteria and will perform as intended.

In vivo testing was not deemed necessary based on the significance of the proposed modifications to the baseline device. The modified proximal coating formulation, core wire material, and distal coil dimensions result in a device that meets the original design requirements of the currently marketed Stingray™ Guidewires. Animal studies were successfully completed with the currently marketed Stingray™ Guidewires.

Device Description:

The modified Stingray™ Guidewires are conventionally constructed, single use. disposable guidewires that consist of a full-length stainless steel shaft with proximal PTFE coating where the distal portion of the stainless steel core is taper ground to provide distal flexibility. The distal portion also includes a coaxially positioned coil constructed of platinum/tungsten material for visibility under fluoroscopy. The coil is fixed to the stainless steel core wire via silver alloy solder and is hydrophilic coated. The distal tip of the guidewire is supplied with an angled geometry which transitions to a conventional rounded tip. A short extension with an approximate diameter of 0.0035" (which is a monolithic extension of the core wire) extends approximately 0.007" distal of the rounded tip.

Intended Use:

The BridgePoint Medical Stingray™ Guidewires are intended to facilitate placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other intravascular devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angiography (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angiography (PTA). The Stingray™ Guidewires are not to be used in cerebral blood vessels.

When used as part of the BridgePoint Medical System (consisting of the CrossBoss™ Catheter, Stingray™ Catheter, and Stingray™ Guidewire), the Stingray™ Guidewire is indicated for use to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond stenotic coronary lesions (including chronic total occlusions [CTOs]) prior to PTCA or stent intervention.

Comparison to Predicate Device(s):

The modified Stingray™ Guidewires are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared Stingray™ Guidewires. K081187 and K083727. in that they are all designed to facilitate placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other intravascular devices during PTCA and PTA procedures.

The Stingray™ Guidewires and previously cleared Stingray™ Guidewires are manufactured using the same processes and components and have similar physical attributes (flexibility, radiopacity, lubricity, tensile, torque, etc.). The distal tips of each device are radiopaque and can be seen with fluoroscopy for precise placement. All devices are highly lubricious for smooth delivery of multiple devices.

The modifications made to the originally cleared Stingray™ Guidewires include changes in the core wire material, colorant compound used in the proximal PTFE coating, and platinum tungsten coil diameter of the hydrophilic guidewires only (models M-3004 and M-3012). The core wire material is being modified from 304 stainless steel to 302 stainless steel. The PTFE colorant is being modified from chromium oxide green (CAS i 308-38-9) to cobalt titanate green (CAS 68186-85-6). Both of the new materials (core wire and proximal coating colorant) are currently used on other legally marketed devices within the same classification regulation for the same intended use. The distal platinum tungsten coil diameter is being modified from 0.0025" to 0.0020".
