Intended Use
The Spectre guidewire is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce and position cather interventional devices within the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Spectre guidewire is a straight tip guidewire with a maximum outer diameter of 0.014" available in 190 cm and 300 cm lengths. The Spectre guidewire consists of a bi-metal stainless steel and nitinol core wire covered on the distal end by a radiopaque coil at the distal tip. The distal end of the Spectre 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.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a guidewire, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device's intended use is to facilitate the introduction and positioning of other interventional devices, rather than directly treating or diagnosing a condition itself.

No

The device is a guidewire used to introduce and position other interventional devices. It is explicitly described as a tool for "percutaneous procedures" and "interventional devices," which are typically therapeutic, not diagnostic. There is no mention of it being used to gather information about a patient's condition for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical guidewire made of bi-metal stainless steel and nitinol, with coatings and a radiopaque coil. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Spectre Guidewire Function: The description clearly states the Spectre guidewire is used in "percutaneous procedures to introduce and position cather interventional devices within the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature." This is a surgical or interventional tool used directly within the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of biomarkers, or diagnostic testing.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Spectre guidewire is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The technological differences between the subject and predicate devices have been evaluated through bench tests to provide evidence that the Spectre guidewire is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The device design has been verified through the following tests:

  • Track Force
  • Guidewire Support Profile

The results of the verification tests met the specified acceptance criteria and did not raise new safety or performance issues.

Dear Beka Vite:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices. good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
