More Information

Not Found

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

No
The device is described as a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement of other devices during procedures, not to provide therapy itself.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended to facilitate the placement of devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures." This indicates its role in diagnostic procedures.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "jacketed core wire with a hydrophilic coating," indicating a physical, hardware-based medical device. The performance studies also focus on physical attributes like tensile strength, torque strength, and coating adherence.

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 device used within the body to aid in medical procedures, not a device used to test samples outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical wire with a coating, designed for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

The device is clearly intended for use in vivo (within a living organism) to support medical procedures.

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

A battery of testing was conducted in accordance with protocols based on requirements outlined in guidance's and industry standards and these were shown to meet the acceptance criteria that were determined to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The following is a list of all the significant tests evaluated: Tensile Strength, Torque Strength, Torquability, Tip Flexibility, Coating Adherence/Integrity (including Evaluation using Anatomical Model), Catheter Compatibility (Durability), Surface, Fracture Test, Flex test, Size Designation/ Dimensions, Particulate Testing. As all test results were comparable to the predicate devices and all predetermined acceptance criteria for tests were successful this has demonstrated the subject device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.

Merit Medical Systems, Inc. Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire Special Premarket Notification 510(k)

The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire consists of a jacketed core wire with a Device Description hydrophilic coating applied to the jacket. The wire will be offered in straight and angled configurations in various lengths. Technological characteristics of the subject Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate, the Merit Comparison Hydrophilic Guide Wire [K120644]. The differences between the devices to Predicate relates to the guide wire diameter size. The guide wire design remains unchanged. Predicate device #2 [K863138] Terumo Radiofocus® Glidewire® is the predicate for performance testing parameters. No performance standards have been established under section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for these devices. A battery of testing was conducted in accordance with protocols based on requirements outlined in guidance's and industry standards and these were shown to meet the acceptance criteria that were determined to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Where appropriate, the tests were based on the requirements of the following documents: FDA guidance Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guide Wire . Guidance January 1995. . ISO 11070: 1998, Sterile Single-Use Intravascular Catheter Introducers. ISO 11135-1: 2007 Sterilization of health care products-Ethylene . oxide- Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. ASTM F1980-07 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile . Safety & Barrier Systems for Medical Devices Performance ISO 10993-1: 2009, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part . Tests 1: Evaluation and Testing within a risk management process, and the FDA Modified ISO 10993 Test Profile FDA Memo G95-1. The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire was compared to the predicate device for various attributes that support substantial equivalence of the device. The differences in wire diameter between the modified device and the cleared device [K120644] has raised no new issues. Performance testing was based on Predicate device #2 [K863138] Terumo Radiofocus® Glidewire® . The following is a list of all the significant tests evaluated: Tensile Strength, Torque Strength, Torquability, Tip Flexibility, Coating Adherence/Integrity (including Evaluation using Anatomical Model), Catheter Compatibility (Durability), Surface, Fracture Test, Flex test, Size Designation/ Dimensions, Particulate Testing. As all test results were comparable to the predicate devices and all predetermined acceptance criteria for tests were successful this has demonstrated the subject device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
