Intended Use
The PW Guidewires are intended to facilitate placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other intravascular devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PCTA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The PW Guidewires are not to be used in cerebral blood vessels.
Device Description
The Tatara Vascular, LLC PW Guidewires are steerable guidewires with a maximum diameter of 0.014" (0.36mm) and nominal length of 180cm. The wires are constructed from a stainless steel solid core wire with two grind profiles that distinguish the gram stiffness of the wire. The core wire transitions to an angled tip of either 0.30mm or 0.75 mm in length. The distal end of the guidewires have a radiopaque coil. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal portion of the guidewires. The proximal portion of the guidewires is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a guidewire, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.
The device is a guidewire intended to facilitate the placement of other medical devices, not to provide therapy itself.

No

Explanation: The device is a guidewire intended to facilitate the placement of other intravascular devices for therapeutic procedures (angioplasty), not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guidewire constructed from stainless steel with specific dimensions, coatings, and a radiopaque coil. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and biocompatibility, not software validation.

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 PW Guidewires are used to "facilitate placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other intravascular devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PCTA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA)." This describes a surgical or interventional procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire designed to be inserted into blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to directly manipulate structures within the body during a procedure.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed on the Tatara Vascular, LLC PW Guidewires t demonstrate the device would perform as intended. The following tests and assessments were performed:

  • Tensile Strength
  • Torque Strength
  • Torqueability
  • Tip Flexibility
  • Tip Load
  • Coating Adhesion
  • Simulated Use ●
  • Resistance to Wire Fracture
  • Dimensional Verification
  • Catheter Compatibility ●
  • Radiopacity Testing ●

The in vitro bench tests demonstrated that the Tatara Vascular, LLC PW Guidewires met the required acceptance criteria and performed in a similar manner to the predicate devices. Performance data demonstrate that the device will function as intended and has an equivalent performance profile as the predicate devices.

Biocompatibility tests were also conducted to demonstrate the materials of the Tatara Vascular, LLC PW Guidewires were suitable for human use. The materials necessary to construct the PW Guidewires are similar to the predicate devices and were evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993-1. The results of the biocompatibility evaluations demonstrated the materials of the PW Guidewires are suitable for their intended use.
