No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and materials of the guidewire, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is described as a guidewire to facilitate the selective placement of diagnostic or therapeutic catheters, but it does not directly provide therapy itself.
No
The device is a guidewire used to facilitate the selective placement of diagnostic or therapeutic catheters. While it can be used with diagnostic catheters, the guidewire itself does not perform diagnostic functions. It is a tool for guiding other instruments.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a coiled wire, core wires, a coil, and includes accessories like a shaping mandrel, insertion tool, and torque device. It also mentions coatings and materials. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used intravascularly to facilitate the placement of diagnostic or therapeutic catheters. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) use, not an in vitro (outside of a living organism) use.
- Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire designed to be inserted into blood vessels. This is consistent with an in vivo medical device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
Therefore, the Traxcess 7 Mini XSoft Guidewire is a medical device used within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Traxcess 7 Mini XSoft Guidewire is indicated for general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature. The guidewire can be steered to facilitate the selective placement of therapeutic catheters. This device is not indicated for use in coronary arteries.

Device Description
Traxcess 7 Mini XSoft Guidewire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous microcatheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel. It consists of aproximal coated Stainless Steel core wire, and a distal coated Nitinol core wire. The distal core wire is tapered at the distal tip and is contained within a Platinum/Nickel coil. The Platinum/Nickel coil is 6 cm in length. The distal 1.4 cm of the guidewire is shapeable by the physician.
Traxcess 7 Mini XSoft Guidewire distal and proximal sections are coated with hydrophilic coating. The purpose of the hydrophilic coating is to provide lubricity when the MicroVention guidewire is passed through microcatheters. A shaping mandrel, insertion tool, and torque device are also included with the device

intraprocedural stresses. | Test article should be greater than or | |
equal to existing tip shapeability | ||
specification. | Device met established tip | |
shapeability specification. | ||
Durability/Lubricity of | ||

guidewire was measured to make | ||
sure it is sufficiently strong to | ||
withstand normal tensile loading | ||
for its intended use. | Test article should be greater than or | |
equal to existing tensile strength | ||
specification for distal tip and | ||
proximal joint section. | Device met established | |

equal to existing torque strength | ||
specification. | Device met established | |
torque strength | ||
specification. | ||
Torqueability: | ||

performed to measure the | ||
difference in input angle (turn at | ||
the proximal end at a set amount) | ||
vs. the output angle and measure | ||
how much the distal end turns. | Test article should be equal to, or | |
better than predicate devices. | Subject device torque | |
response better than | ||
predicate devices. | ||
Fracture resistance: | ||
The Fracture Resistance Test | ||
was performed to test for fracture | ||
on the guidewire after winding | ||
the guidewire around a cylindrical | ||
former, then unwound and | ||
examined for fracture of the | ||
guidewire and the coating as well. | Test article should not show signs of | |
fracture. There should be no coating | ||
flaking off the guidewire. | Device met established | |
fracture resistance | ||
specification. | ||
Flexing test: | ||
The Flexing test was performed | ||
to test the guidewire (distal and | ||
proximal sections) under | ||
repeated reverse bending and | ||
straightening (flexing) and | ||
examined for defects or damage. | Test article should not show signs of | |
defect, fracture or other damage. | ||
There should be no coating flaking off | ||
the guidewire. | Device met established | |
flexing test specification. | ||
Distal Tip flexibility: | ||
The distal tip flexibility testing | ||
was performed to demonstrate | ||
the force required to deflect the | ||
distal tip of the guidewire. | Test article should be less than | |
existing distal tip specification to | ||
deflect the distal tip of guidewire | ||
and must be softer than | ||
Traxcess 7 Mini. | Device met established | |
distal tip flexibility | ||
specification. | ||
Particle Testing: | ||

performed to quantify particulate | ||
matter in injections of the | ||
guidewire after | ||
advancement/retraction | ||
procedures. | Test article should meet established | |
particle testing specification. | Device met established | |

radiopacity specification. | ||
In-Vitro Simulated Use | ||
Testing: | ||
Samples underwent simulated | ||
use testing that included | ||
introduction into and movement | ||
within the catheter, tracking | ||
guidewire/microcatheter system | ||
in the model, system maximum | ||
distal reach, overall performance | ||
and any particles detected. | Test article should meet rating of 3 or | |
greater when tested with compatible | ||
microcatheters. | Device met established | |

There are no differences between the predicate and the reference device which would raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness. One can find the proposed device substantially equivalent to the predicate, Traxcess® 14 SELECT Guidewire (K153053).
Biocompatibility: The biocompatibility studies were not repeated on the subject device, as Traxcess 7 Mini XSoft Guidewire is made from the same material, same manufacturing processes, same sterility assurance level and same packaging configuration as those utilized in the fabrication of predicate device, Traxcess 7 Mini Guidewire (K161803). The results from biocompatibility testing conducted on Traxcess® 14 SELECT Guidewire showed that the acceptance criteria were met.
