The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and performance of a guide wire, with no mention of AI or ML. The modification described is a process change related to a chemical used in manufacturing.
No.
The device is a guide wire used to facilitate the placement of other devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures, not to provide therapy itself.
No.
The device is a guide wire, which facilitates the placement of other devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures, but it does not diagnose a condition itself.
No
The device description clearly details a physical medical device (guide wires) made of materials like PTFE, core wire, and safety wire, and includes information about its physical dimensions and components. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device 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 tool used during a medical procedure, not a device used to perform tests on samples taken from the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
- Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire used to navigate within the body. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen. There are no references to reagents, assays, or diagnostic results.
The device is clearly an invasive medical device used to aid in procedures, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).

Device Description
InQwire® Diagnostic Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the placement of devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures. The quide wires have a continuous PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coated coil, inside core wire and a safety wire. The core wire is fixed at the proximal end only and extends to a specified distance from the distal end. The distal segment of the core wire has a profiled taper. The core wire enhances the stiffness of the guide wire. The safety wire extends the full length of the guide wire and is welded at both the distal and proximal end. The safety wire is designed to provide integrity and ensures that the guide wire components remain together.
The InQwire® Diagnostic Guide Wires are offered in 0.035 inch or 0.038 inch outer diameter with different tip configurations (straight or J-tip), single ended or double ended (either end of the wire can be placed into the patient), standard or firm shaft, and are available in lengths from 50cm to 260cm. The wire is placed inside a loop flush dispenser, also referred to as a hoop. The dispenser has a female Luer connection which facilitates solution flushing through the hoop to hydrate the guide wire. The guidewires are secured in the hoop dispenser by a locking J-tip straightener.
This modification details a supplier process change relating to removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), used in the manufacture of the PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coating. More specifically PFOA is a processing aid used for the polymerization process of PTFE, which is flashed off during the oven curing process and therefore not part of the finished InQuire® Diagnostic Guidewire. Due to environmental concerns relating to PFOA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has instructed that all processors of PTFE no longer make, buy or use PFOA(2010/2015 PFOA Stewardship Program). PFOA material is used in the manufacture both the intermediate and top laver of the PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene) coating.

Dear Ms. King:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drue, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Ilisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
