Intended Use
This Hi-Torque Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in arteries such as the femoral, popliteal, and infra-popliteal arteries. This guide wire may also be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures. The guide wire may also be used to reach and cross a target lesion, provide a pathway within the vessel structure, facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another, and to distinguish the vasculature.
Device Description
The Abbott Vascular Hi-Torque (HT) Command 18 Guide Wire with hydrophilic coating is a guide wire with a maximum diameter of 0.0180" and is provided in 210 cm and 300 cm lengths. The Abbott Vascular HT Command 18 Guide Wire consists of a 304V stainless steel proximal core and a nitinol distal core. The distal core is attached to the stainless steel proximal core using a dissimilar metal solid-state resistance weld. The core wire at the tip is flattened to provide optimize flexibility, steering, and tip shaping. There are four nitinol lengths of the HT Command 18 family, each having multiple tip load options. The HT Command 18 has a straight (shapeable) tip. The distal portion of the wire is covered with a polyurethane jacket and a hydrophilic coating. The proximal section of the wire is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a single coat of a silicone-based hydrophobic coating. Brachial and femoral markers are located on the proximal segment of the 210 cm and 300 cm guide wires.HT Command 18 Guide Wire is offered in two (2) packaging configuration options: With Accessory Devices (Torque Device and Guide Wire Introducer) and Without Accessory Devices.

No
The device description focuses on the physical construction and materials of a guide wire, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement of other therapeutic devices (balloon dilatation catheters, stent devices) and to provide a pathway, rather than directly providing a therapeutic effect itself.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the guide wire is intended to "facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters" and "may also be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures." It also mentions it can "facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another, and to distinguish the vasculature" but its primary role is not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guide wire made of stainless steel and nitinol, with various coatings and physical dimensions. It is a tangible medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used within the body to facilitate medical procedures (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, stent placement). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire designed for insertion into blood vessels. This is consistent with an interventional medical device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, this device is an interventional medical device, not an IVD.

11. Device Description

The Abbott Vascular Hi-Torque (HT) Command 18 Guide Wire with hydrophilic coating is a guide wire with a maximum diameter of 0.0180" and is provided in 210 cm and 300 cm lengths.

(K152404, cleared on September 21, 2015)

The Abbott Vascular HT Command 18 Guide Wire consists of a 304V stainless steel proximal core and a nitinol distal core. The distal core is attached to the stainless steel proximal core using a dissimilar metal solid-state resistance weld. The core wire at the tip is flattened to provide optimize flexibility, steering, and tip shaping. There are four nitinol lengths of the HT Command 18 family, each having multiple tip load options. The HT Command 18 has a straight (shapeable) tip.

The distal portion of the wire is covered with a polyurethane jacket and a hydrophilic coating. The proximal section of the wire is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a single coat of a silicone-based hydrophobic coating. Brachial and femoral markers are located on the proximal segment of the 210 cm and 300 cm guide wires.HT Command 18

Guide Wire is offered in two (2) packaging configuration options: With Accessory Devices (Torque Device and Guide Wire Introducer) and Without Accessory Devices.

12. Indications for Use

This Hi-Torque Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in arteries such as the femoral, popliteal, and infra-popliteal arteries. This guide wire may also be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures.

The guide wire may also be used to reach and cross a target lesion, provide a pathway within the vessel structure, facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another, and to distinguish the vasculature.

13. Technological Characteristics

The new device includes an additional packaging configuration (without accessory devices) and associated labeling changes, alternate packaging pouch from a different supplier, changes to the distal tip design, changes to the distal nitinol core wire and proximal stainless steel wire dimensions, changes to the proximal joint material, and changes to the coating and distal tip flattening process.

Comparison of the new device and predicate device demonstrate that the technological characteristics such as product performance, design (with minor modifications) and indications for use are substantially equivalent to the current marketed predicate device.

14. Performance Data

Hi-Torque Command 18 Guide Wire testing successfully met functional and dimensional acceptance criteria and external requirements.

  • Tip Load
  • Rotational Accuracy Testing (Torqueability)

Design (minor) changes were deemed non-impactful to biocompatibility as there are no new materials of construction, manufacturing aids, tooling materials and primary packaging materials and sterilization methods. Previous test results showed substantial equivalence to the current marketed predicate devices.

15. Conclusions

Test results from the functional and dimensional testing conducted on the subject Hi-Torque Command 18 Guide Wire met all acceptance criteria and show that it performed similarly to the predicate devices. There were no new safety or effectiveness issues raised during the testing program.

The Hi-Torque Command 18 Guide Wire is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in regards to the indications for use, materials, fundamental technology, design, performance, biocompatibility, sterilization, and packaging and is safe and effective for clinical use.
