Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to facilitate the placement of catheters and stent devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). These are invasive medical procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire designed to be inserted into the body.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the coronary arteries, which are within the patient's body.
- IVD Definition: An In Vitro Diagnostic device is defined as a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
This device is used in vivo (within the living body) to assist in a medical procedure, not in vitro (outside the living body) to examine specimens for diagnostic purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
In vitro bench testing performance evaluations demonstrated that the subject devices met the acceptance criteria and performed comparable to the predicate devices. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing and therefore, the subject device families may be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Bench testing and Biocompatibility testing was conducted and the results confirm that the device with the modified adhesive formulation remains appropriate for its intended use. Bench testing included tensile strength to join the distal core of the guidewire with the proximal core, and a hypotube pull test to verify the hypotube joint strength.
Biocompatibility tests included:
- a. Cytotoxicity
- b. Hemolysis, direct
- c. Hemolysis, indirect
- d. Complement Activation
- e. Coagulation (PT and PTT)
- f. Sensitization
- g. Intracutaneous Toxicity (Irritation)

11. Device Description
The HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT UNIVERSAL Guide Wire is a steerable guide wire available in a maximum outer diameter of 0.0137" and in lengths of 190 cm and 300 cm. The distal segment of the guide wire, up to the hypotube, is coated with hydrophilic coating to reduce friction for improved guide wire movement within the catheter. The distal tip is offered in a straight shapeable configuration and a pre-shaped "J" configuration. The proximal core has a maximum diameter of 0.0137". The proximal end of the guide wire is coated with PTFE, which reduces friction of the wire within a catheter. The BMW Universal Guide Wire is DOC® extendable in the 190 cm lengths. The change being made is to the formulation of an adhesive that is used to adhere two core subassemblies.
12. Indication for Use
The HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT UNIVERSAL Guide Wire Family is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).

13. Technological Characteristics
Comparisons of the new and predicate devices show that the technological characteristics such as product performance, materials, design, sterilization, packaging, and intended use are substantially equivalent to the current marketed predicate devices.
14. Performance Data
In vitro bench testing performance evaluations demonstrated that the HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT UNIVERSAL Guide Wires met the acceptance criteria and performed comparable to the predicate devices. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing and therefore, the HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT UNIVERSAL Guide Wire Family may be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Bench testing and Biocompatibility testing was conducted and the results confirm that the device with the modified adhesive formulation remains appropriate for its intended use.
As for bench testing the tensile strength to join the distal core of the guidewire (where the tip coil is located) with the proximal core of the guidewire was conducted. The hypotube pull test verified that the hypotube joint is sufficiently strong to withstand normal tensile loading during the use of the Guide Wire in a clinical procedure.
The modified adhesive formulation was tested for biocompatibility as per the below listed biocompatibility tests:
- a. Cytotoxicity
- b. Hemolysis, direct
- c. Hemolysis, indirect
- d. Complement Activation
- e. Coagulation (PT and PTT)
- f. Sensitization
- g. Intracutaneous Toxicity (Irritation)
- h. Acute Systemic Toxicity
- i. Pyrogenicity Material Mediated (Rabbit)
