Intended Use
The QuikTork guide wire torque device is intended to facilitate guide wire interventional procedures.
Device Description
The QuikTork torque device is designed and intended to be used for the manipulation and placement of guide wires used during interventional procedures. The QuikTork device is not body contacting as the device is used by threading the guide wire end, which is outside the body, through the device lumen to provide an easier grip for manipulation of the guide wire. Once the guide wire is positioned, the QuikTork is removed. The device consists of one piece of molded polyoxymethylene, and is yellow or orange depending on the diameter of the guide wire that will be used with the device. The yellow device supports guide wire diameters 0.010 to 0.020 inches, and the orange device supports guide wire diameters 0.025 to 0.040 inches.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and comparison to predicate devices, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts.

No
The device is intended to facilitate guide wire interventional procedures by manipulating and placing guide wires, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition, nor does it restore, modify, or replace a physiological function. Its purpose is to aid in a procedure, not to be therapeutic itself.

No
The device description states its purpose is for "manipulation and placement of guide wires," which is an interventional procedure. It does not mention any function for identifying or determining the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical device made of molded polyoxymethylene, designed to be threaded onto a guide wire. It is not software.

Based on the provided information, the QuikTork guide wire torque device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate guide wire interventional procedures." This describes a device used during a medical procedure on a patient, not a device used to test samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is used for "manipulation and placement of guide wires used during interventional procedures." It also emphasizes that it is "not body contacting" and is used by threading the guide wire end outside the body. This further reinforces its use as a surgical/interventional tool, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

Therefore, the QuikTork guide wire torque device falls under the category of a medical device used in interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Trade Name: Radifocus Torque Device

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The QuikTork torque device is designed and intended to be used for the manipulation and placement of guide wires used during interventional procedures. The QuikTork device is not body contacting as the device is used by threading the guide wire end, which is outside the body, through the device lumen to provide an easier grip for manipulation of the guide wire. Once the guide wire is positioned, the QuikTork is removed. The device consists of one piece of molded polyoxymethylene, and is yellow or orange depending on the diameter of the guide wire that will be used with the device. The yellow device supports guide wire diameters 0.010 to 0.020 inches, and the orange device supports guide wire diameters 0.025 to 0.040 inches.

INTENDED USE:

The QuikTork guide wire torque device is intended to facilitate guide wire manipulation during interventional procedures.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

The QuikTork guide wire torque device design supports single-handed operation once the guide wire is loaded into the lumen. The lever portion of the QuikTork is depressed to align the lumens, and the guide wire end is inserted through the lumens. With the lever depressed, the QuikTork is moved to the desired position on the guide wire. When the

5

lever is released, the QuikTork grips the guide wire and facilitates single-handed guide wire manipulation.

PERFORMANCE DATA

Comparison testing for tensile strength and torque capability was performed on the NeedleTech QuikTork device and the predicate Terumo Radifocus Torque Device. Ship testing, real time aging, and accelerated aging was performed on the QuikTork and predicate Alligatork device.

SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Both the QuikTork guide wire torque device and Alligatork Torque Device guide wire devices consist of one piece of molded polyoxymethylene. The QuikTork device and predicate Alligatork device are identical in device design, function, and constituent material. Both devices have the same indications for use and are able to accommodate guide wires of the same size ranges.

The QuiltTork guide wire torque device and predicate Terumo Radifocus Torque Device have the same function and indications for use. For the Terumo Radifocus Torque Device, a threaded polycarbonate cap (nut) is rotated to open a brass collet on a molded polypropylene body through which the guide wire is inserted. The cap is tightened and the device grips the guide wire.

NeedleTech believes that the similarity in function and indications for use of the predicate devices demonstrates that the QuikTork device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and is safe for use.
