Intended Use
This product is intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures. This device is intended for peripheral vascular use only.
Device Description
The ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wires in this submission have a coil-type distal end or a plastic covered-type distal end. The coil is partly or entirely radiopaque to facilitate selection of the blood vessel and confirmation of the position of the guide wire's distal end by fluoroscopy. The core shaft surface is coated with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). About 2cm of the distal end can be shaped. ASAHI INTECC detachable extension wire (hereafter "extension wire") (previously cleared as part of K083145 and K101985) is available to connect with the proximal end of the guide wire with a length of less than 300 cm. The total length of the system after the connection with be 300cm to 400cm. Torque device may be included in the same package. The ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wires in this submission have an overall length range of 200 to 300 cm and a nominal outer diameter range of 0.36 to 0.45 mm.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a guide wire, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures, but it is not therapeutic itself.

No

The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures. It is a tool for a procedure, not a device that itself diagnoses a condition.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a coil-type distal end, plastic covering, radiopaque material, PTFE coating, core shaft, and extension wire, 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 the product is for "facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular 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 for navigation within blood vessels. It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices. The performance studies focus on physical properties and functionality, not analytical performance on biological samples.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

This product is intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures. This device is intended for peripheral vascular use only.

Description:

The ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wires in this submission have a coil-type distal end or a plastic covered-type distal end. The coil is partly or entirely radiopaque to facilitate selection of the blood vessel and confirmation of the position of the guide wire's distal end by fluoroscopy.

The core shaft surface is coated with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). About 2cm of the distal end can be shaped. ASAHI INTECC detachable extension wire (hereafter "extension wire") (previously cleared as part of K083145 and K101985) is available to connect with the proximal end of the guide wire with a length of less than 300 cm. The total length of the system after the connection with be 300cm to 400cm. Torque device may be included in the same package.

The ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wires in this submission have an overall length range of 200 to 300 cm and a nominal outer diameter range of 0.36 to 0.45 mm.

COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICES:

Comparisons of the ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wire and predicate devices show that the technological characteristics of the ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wires such as the components, design, materials, sterilization method, shelf life and operating principle are identical or similar to the currently marketed predicate devices.

The intended use/indications between the Subject Device and its primary predicates are identical. There are specific design features of the Subject device that are similar to the primary predicate but not identical. Additional predicate devices have been used to demonstrate equivalence for these similar features.

Non Clinical testing / Performance Data:

Non clinical laboratory testing was performed on the ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wire to determine substantial equivalence. The following testing/assessments were performed:

  • Tensile Strength
  • Torque Strength ●
  • Torqueability ●
  • Tip Flexibility ●
  • Coating Adhesion/Integrity ●
  • Catheter Compatibility ●

The in vitro bench tests demonstrated that the ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wire met all acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate devices. Performance data demonstrate that the device functions as intended, and has a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate devices.

BIOCOMPATIBILITY:

The ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wire was compared to the predicate devices. Based on similarities of the materials used in the subject device to its predicates, the biocompatibility of the ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wire was verified to be the same as those of the predicates.

Conclusion:

The ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wire has identical intended use and the same or similar technological characteristics such as components, design, materials, sterilization method, shelf life and operating principles as the predicate devices. Performance data demonstrates that the device functions as intended.

Therefore, the ASAHI Peripheral Guide Wire is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
