Intended Use
The Endura guidewire is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices within the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Endura guidewire is a straight tip guidewire with a maximum outer diameter of 0.014" available in 190 cm and 300 cm lengths. The Endura guidewire consists of a bi-metal stainless steel and nitinol core wire covered on the distal end by a radiopaque coil at the distal end of the Endura guidewire has a hydrophilic coating (HPC) and the proximal end is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The 190 cm length model is compatible with a guidewire extension.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical properties and materials of a guidewire, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is a guidewire used for positioning catheters and other interventional devices for diagnostic or interventional purposes, not for direct therapeutic treatment.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly state that the Endura guidewire is used for introducing and positioning catheters and other interventional devices during percutaneous procedures. It acts as a tool for facilitating interventional procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a core wire, radiopaque coil, and coatings (hydrophilic and PTFE), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "percutaneous procedures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices within the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a procedural purpose, not a device used outside the body to examine specimens from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire with specific materials and coatings, designed to be inserted into blood vessels. This is consistent with an interventional medical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This guidewire is a tool used during a medical procedure to facilitate the delivery of other devices.

Substantial Equivalence and Summary of Studies

The technological differences between the subject and predicate devices have been evaluated through performance and biocompatibility tests and results did not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The Endura guidewire is substantially equivalent to the specified predicate device based on comparisons of the device functionality, technological characteristics, and indications for use. The device design has been verified through the following tests:

  • Tensile Strength ●
  • Torque Strength
  • Torque Response (Torqueability) ●
  • Guidewire Support Profile
  • Tip Load (Tip Flexibility)
  • Fracture Resistance
  • Flex Resistance
  • Hydrophilic Coating Particulate (Coating Adherence/Integrity)
  • PTFE Coating Adhesion (Coating Adherence/Integrity)
  • Corrosion Resistance
  • Track Force
  • Friction Force (HPC and PTFE) .
  • Fluoroscopy Visualization
  • Length Extension

The only evaluation that was not performed on the modified guidewire was package integrity as it is identical to the predicate device. Device samples passed the following biocompatibility tests performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Sensitization
  • . Irritation/Intracutaneous Reactivity
  • Systemic Toxicity
  • Pyrogenicity
  • Hemocompatibility

The results of the verification tests met the specified acceptance criteria and did not raise new safety or performance issues. Therefore the Endura guidewire, a modified version of the R350, is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
