No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics 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 and exchange of therapeutic devices, not as a therapeutic device itself.

No

The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of therapeutic devices in the neuro vasculature, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical guide wire constructed from stainless steel with a coil assembly, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a guide wire intended for use within the neuro vasculature to facilitate the placement of other therapeutic devices. This is an invasive medical device used directly on the patient's anatomy, not for testing samples outside the body.

The description focuses on the physical characteristics and performance of the guide wire itself, not on analyzing biological samples.

Table 1 Comparison of ASAHI CHIKAI series to the predicate devices.

The materials used in the manufacture of the ASAHI CHIKAI series tapered core wire, coils and coating materials, and the manufacturing processes are the same as those used for ASAHI's Prowater and Marker Wire PTCA Guide Wires (K022762) and ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire Fielder (K052022), which were subject to full biocompatibility testing in accordance with ISO 10993.

Non-clinical Performance Data:

The safety and effectiveness of the ASAHI CHIKAI series line extension was evaluated in bench testing that followed the recommendations in the FDA guidance document: Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guidewire Guidance. Table 2 provides a summary of the bench test methods, results and conclusions. Acceptance criteria for each of the tests were determined by prior comparative testing with predicate devices, ASAHI's established guide wire specifications, and clinical experience.

TestTest Method SummaryResults/Conclusions
Tensile
StrengthTo determine maximum allowable tensile
load between connections, guide wire is
fixed in the Tensile Testing Machine and
pulled until failure.All test articles met established tensile
strength acceptance criteria. Acceptance
criteria determined by evaluation of
predicate devices and ASAHI's
established tensile strength specifications.
Torque StrengthTo determine torque strength, distal end is
inserted & advanced through simulated
model. Distal tip is held stationary while
proximal end is rotated until failure.All test articles met the acceptance
criteria. Acceptance criteria determined
by evaluation of predicate devices and
ASAHI's established torque strength
specifications.
TorqueabilityTo determine torque response, guidewire is
inserted through catheter & into Rotational
Response model. Proximal end is rotated
and the torque response at distal end is
measured.All test articles met the acceptance
criteria. Torque response is similar or
better than predicate.
Tip FlexibilityTo determine flexibility of the distal end, the
force to deflect the guide wire is measured
by a force analyzer attached to a load cell.All test articles met established Tip
Flexibility acceptance criteria.
Acceptance criteria determined by
evaluation of predicate devices and
ASAHI's established Tip Flexibility
specifications.
Coating
AdherenceIntegrity of coated outer coil & core wire is
determined before, and after, pretreatment
and manipulation in excess of that expected
in clinical use.Test results confirmed that the integrity of
the coating was maintained during
simulated clinical use in all test articles.
Coating Integrity
& Particulate
CharacterizationCoating integrity and particulates were
evaluated. The test samples were advanced
through a microcatheter to the target
location, retracted and the coating inspected
under magnification. All particulate matter
generated during insertion/retraction of the
guidewire was counted & classified by their
particle sizes.This testing characterized the coating
integrity and particulate generation during
simulated use.
Catheter
CompatibilityCatheter compatibility is evaluated by
measuring the force to withdraw the guide
wire that has been inserted through the test
catheter.All test articles met the acceptance
criteria. Resistance to catheter
withdrawal is similar or better than
predicate.
Bench
(Simulated)
TestingTo simulate clinical use, guidewire is
inserted through guide catheter placed in
simulated model and advanced to target area.
Interventional catheter is inserted over
guidewire & advanced to target cerebral
artery multiple times.Test results on all test articles confirmed
guide wire performance. Guidewire
reached target area and interventional
catheter was successfully advanced over
guidewire to target site.

Table 2 ASAHI CHIKAI series Bench Test Summary

All neurovascular guide wires in the ASAHI CHIKAI series met the acceptance criteria for each of the bench tests.

Conclusion

Based on the similar indication, design and materials, and the results of the bench testing, the ASAHI CHIKAI series line extension is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above.
