The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a guide wire, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
Explanation: The device is used to facilitate the placement of other devices during procedures and does not directly provide therapy.
No
The device is a guide wire used to facilitate the placement of other devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures. While it is used during diagnostic procedures, it is not described as performing a diagnostic function itself (e.g., collecting data to inform a diagnosis).
No
The device description clearly details a physical guide wire made of metal and coated with PTFE, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "to facilitate the placement of devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures." This describes a tool used during a medical procedure, not a device used to perform tests on samples taken from the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
- Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire used to navigate within the body. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples.
- Detecting or measuring specific substances in samples.
- Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis.
The device is clearly intended for use as a medical instrument within the body to aid in procedures, not for in vitro testing.

Device Description
Merit InQwire® Amplatz Super Stiff Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the placement of devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures. The guide wires consist of a Blue PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coated flat wire coil, with an inside core wire. The core wire enhances the "Super Stiff" characteristic of the guide wire.
The core wire extends the full length of the coil and is welded to the coil at three (3) points; a) the distal end, b) the proximal end and c) a spot weld approx. 22cm from the distal end. These welds are designed to provide integrity and ensure that the guide wire components remain together The outside coil is PTFE coated and this Blue PTFE coating extends from the distal tip of the wire to within 7cm of the proximal tip, which remains uncoated.
The Merit InQwire® Amplatz Super Stiff Guide Wires are offered in 0.035-inch and 0.038-inch outer diameter with a 1cm, 3cm, 3.5cm, 4cm, 6cm and 7cm straight and J tip configuration and are available in lengths from 75cm to 260cm. The wires will be provided in a spiral hoop dispenser sized appropriately for the wires diameter and length.
The dispenser has a standard flush port luer adapter that accepts any standard luer lock or slip tip syringe to facilitate flushing of the guide wire prior to use. A J-straightener is provided on the dispenser to facilitate the advancement of the wire tip into other devices.

Summary of Performance Studies
No performance standards have been established under section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for these devices. Performance testing of the subject Merit InQwire® Amplatz Super Stiff Guide Wire was conducted based on risk analysis. A battery of testing was conducted in accordance with protocols based on requirements outlined in guidance's and industry standards and these were shown to meet the acceptance criteria that were determined to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Where appropriate, the tests were based on the requirements of the following documents:
FDA guidance Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guide Wire Guidance January 1995.
ISO 11070:2014, Sterile Single-Use Intravascular Catheter Introducers.
ISO 11135:2014 Sterilization of health care products-Ethylene oxide- Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices.
ASTM F1980-07 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices
ISO 10993-1:2009, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a risk management process, and the FDA Modified ISO 10993 Test Profile FDA Memo G95-1.
ISO 11607-1:2006, Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems
The Merit InQwire® Amplatz Super Stiff Guide Wire was compared to the predicate device for various performance attributes that support substantial equivalence of the device. The difference in assembly between the modified device and the cleared device, Merit InQwire® Amplatz Super Stiff Guide Wire [K163575] has raised no new issues. In some instances, performance characteristic testing was based on the Reference Device, the Amplatz Super Stiff Guidewire [K843012], when it was deemed to be relevant.
The following is a list of all testing that was successfully completed:

| Device
Description | Merit InQwire® Amplatz Super Stiff Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the
placement of devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures. The guide
wires consist of a Blue PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coated flat wire coil, with
an inside core wire. The core wire enhances the "Super Stiff" characteristic of
the guide wire.
The core wire extends the full length of the coil and is welded to the coil at three
(3) points; a) the distal end, b) the proximal end and c) a spot weld approx. 22cm
from the distal end. These welds are designed to provide integrity and ensure
that the guide wire components remain together The outside coil is PTFE coated | |
| The Merit InQwire® Amplatz Super Stiff Guide Wires are offered in 0.035-inch
and 0.038-inch outer diameter with a 1cm, 3cm, 3.5cm ,4cm, 6cm and 7cm
straight and J tip configuration and are available in lengths from 75cm to 260cm.
The wires will be provided in a spiral hoop dispenser sized appropriately for the
wires diameter and length.
The dispenser has a standard flush port luer adapter that accepts any standard
luer lock or slip tip syringe to facilitate flushing of the guide wire prior to use. A J-
straightener is provided on the dispenser to facilitate the advancement of the
wire tip into other devices. | | |
| Comparison to
Predicate | The changes to the device are as follows; a) A new variant of the core wire OD
(0.38") has been added to the range, b) 5 new Tip lengths have been added
(1cm, 3cm, 3.5cm, 4cm and 6cm), spread across the two ODs and c) A J Tip
shape variant is also added to the range, spread across the two ODs. None of
the above changes would be deemed sufficient to affect the technological
characteristics of the device and thus the subject Merit InQwire® Amplatz Super
Stiff Guide Wire is substantially equivalent to Predicate Device #1, the Merit
InQwire® Amplatz Super Stiff Guide Wire [K163575 and the Reference Device,
the Amplatz Super Stiff Guidewire [K843012].]. | |
| | The proposed new wires add in a new OD of 0.038" as well as Tip length (1cm,
3cm, 3.5cm, 4cm and 6cm) and Tip shape (J tip) variants to the range. The
lengths, of 75cm to 260cm, are within the bracketed range of the predicate
(75cm to 260cm). The Indications for use of the subject wire are identical to
Predicate Device #1. | |
| Safety &
Performance
Tests | No performance standards have been established under section 514 of the

subject Merit InQwire® Amplatz Super Stiff Guide Wire was conducted based on
risk analysis. A battery of testing was conducted in accordance with protocols
