More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical guidewire and its mechanical and biocompatibility testing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is a guidewire used to facilitate the placement of diagnostic catheters, not to treat a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a guidewire, which facilitates the placement of diagnostic catheters but is not itself a diagnostic device. Its intended use is general intravascular use and mechanical support for placing other devices.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (stainless steel shaft, nitinol tip, platinum and stainless steel coils) and bench testing focuses on physical attributes and performance, indicating a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature" and is used to "facilitate the selective placement of diagnostic catheters." This describes a device used within the body for procedural guidance, not a device used to test samples outside the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire with a shaft, tip, coils, and coating. This is consistent with an interventional medical device, not an IVD which typically involves reagents, analyzers, or test kits for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Traxcess 14 Guidewire is an interventional medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Bench Testing was performed covering Physical and dimensional attributes, Tensile strength (distal and proximal), Tip flexibility, Torque strength, Coating adherence, Torqueability, Flexing and fracture resistance test, Radiopacity, Tip shapeability, In-vitro simulated use testing, Attachment with docking wire, and Particulate Testing. The results demonstrated that the device met established dimensional and physical specifications, tensile strength, and tip flexibility. Coating durability and lubricity were comparable to predicate, torque response was equal to or better than predicate, and the device was able to withstand forces and stress during navigation in vasculature. Radiopacity and tip shapeability were equivalent or better than predicate, and the device performed as intended under simulated use. The device was compatible with docking wire and did not generate particles under use.

Biocompatibility testing included Cytotoxicity - MEM Elution Test (ISO 10993-5), Sensitization/Irritation - Kligman Maximization Test (ISO10993-10), Sensitization/Irritation - Intracutaneous Injection Test (ISO 10993-10), Hemocompatibility - Hemolysis (Direct and Indirect) (ISO 10993-4), Hemocompatibility - Unactivated Partial Thromboplastin Assay (ISO 10993-4), Hemocompatibility - Complement Activation (ISO 10993-4), Hemocompatibility - Dog Thrombogenicity (ISO 10993-4), Systemic toxicity - Systemic Injection Test (ISO 10993-11), and Systemic toxicity - Rabbit Pyrogen Test (ISO 10993-11). The conclusions were: Non-cytotoxic, Weak allergenic potential, Non-irritant, Non-hemolytic, No effect on coagulation, No effect on complement system, No significant thrombosis, No toxic effects, and Non-pyrogenic.
