More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a guidewire, with no mention of AI/ML technology or data processing.

No
The device is a guidewire intended for selective placement of catheters, which is a supportive role in a medical procedure, not directly providing therapy.

No
The device is a guidewire intended for selective placement of catheters, which is an interventional/surgical tool, not a diagnostic one. Its performance studies focus on physical characteristics and usability, not disease detection or diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a stainless steel wire core, platinum/tungsten coil, coatings, and packaging, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for selective placement of catheters within the neuro and peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a procedural purpose (guiding catheters).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire with coatings and packaging, designed for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body), such as blood, urine, or tissue samples, to provide information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. This device is a surgical/interventional tool used directly within the patient's body.

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

The following bench testing was performed in support of the Viradius Neurowire and to establish substantial equivalence to the NeuroScout Steerable Guidewire:
Bond and Joint Tensile Strength, Torque Response, Ultimate Torque Reponse, Tip Deflection, Push Track, Surface Integrity, Guidewire Diameter, Guidewire Length, Catheter Compatibility, Kink Resistance, Flex Test, Distal Fracture Test, Tip Bending and Retention, Device Coating Adhesion, Corrosion Test, Coating Integrity – Simulated Use.

A Design Validation study was performed on the bench model to assess the usability of the Viradius Neurowire compared to the previously cleared NeuroScout Steerable Guidewire. Biocompatibility testing, sterilization and one year accelerated aging study was also performed. No clinical studies were performed as there are no change to the indications for use or the fundamental scientific technology of the device.

Conclusion: The Viradius Neurowire is substantially equivalent to the currently cleared NeuroScout Steerable Guidewire based on the successful completion of non-clinical bench and design validation testing as well as similar principles of design, operation and indications for use.

Dear Mr. LaBounty:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
