Intended 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 diagnostic or 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
More Information

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.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION [807.92(a)(4)]

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

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
