The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of guidewires, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No.
The device (guidewire) is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices, not to provide therapy itself.
No
A guidewire is used to facilitate the placement of other therapeutic devices, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like stainless steel core wire, PTFE coating, and varying tapers, indicating it is 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 that the guidewires are "intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices during PTCA or other intravascular interventional procedures." This describes a device used within the body to assist in a medical procedure, not a device used outside the body to examine specimens from the body for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components and construction of a guidewire used for navigating blood vessels. This aligns with an interventional device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition
- Using reagents or assays
- Measuring biomarkers
Therefore, the Boston Scientific ChoICE™ PT, PT Graphix™, ChoICE, Luge, and Mailman Guidewires are considered interventional medical devices, not IVDs.

Device Description
The Boston Scientific CholCE™, Mailman™, Luge™, CholCE™ PT, and CholCE™ PT Graphix Guide Wires with ICE® Hydrophilic Coating are available with a nominal diameter of 0.014 in (0.37 mm) and in nominal lengths of 182 cm or 300 cm. These guide wires contain a 304 stainless steel core wire. The proximal section of the core wire of all models is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for lubricity. The distal end of the core wire is formed (flattened) to allow for shaping. All models are available with a shapeable Straight Tip or a preformed "J" Tip to address user preference. Varying tapers along the distal core wire and differing tip materials (spring coil or polymer) provide combinations of rail support and tip flexibility to address user requirements. The 182 cm guide wires are designed with an extension section for exchange of Over-the-Wire systems by using either the MAGNET Exchange Device or the AddWire™ Extension Wire. The 300 cm guide wires allow exchange of therapeutic devices without the use of an extension wire or exchange system.
