Intended Use
Guidewire is intended to be used in the coronary and/or peripheral vascular system to introduce and position catheters to desired anatomical location during diagnostic or interventional procedures.
Device Description
The Guidewire are designed to facilitate the placement of interventional devices. The guidewire has two models. PTFE coating type and hydrophilic coating type. The two models have the different material for wire and coating. PTFE guidewire consists of stainless steel spring coil wire, inside core wire and a safety wire. The guidewire is placed inside a loop flush dispenser, also as a hoop. Hydrophilic guidewire consisits of nickel titanium alloys core wire with a jacket that has a hydrophilic coating. The guidewire is placed inside a spiral hoop. The Guidewire is radiopactitive under fluoroscopy. The wire will be offered in straight, angle, J-tip configuration . All guidewires are available in five nominal outer diameter of 0.025", 0.028", 0.032", 0.038"inches and nominal lengths of 100cm, 150cm, 180cm, and 260cm.
More Information

Not Found

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 capabilities.

No
The device, a guidewire, is intended to introduce and position catheters for diagnostic or interventional procedures, not directly treat a condition. While it is used in interventional procedures, its function is facilitative rather than therapeutic.

No

The guidewire is used to introduce and position catheters during diagnostic or interventional procedures, but it does not perform any diagnostic function itself. It's an accessory to diagnostic procedures, not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly details physical components (stainless steel, nickel titanium alloys, coatings, etc.) and physical characteristics (diameter, length, tip configuration), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the guidewire is used to "introduce and position catheters to desired anatomical location during diagnostic or interventional procedures." This describes a physical tool used within the body for procedural guidance, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction and materials of the guidewire, which is consistent with a medical device used for navigation within blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, calibrators, controls, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, this guidewire is a medical device used for interventional and diagnostic procedures within the vascular system, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Jeffery Hui:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination. product submissions. 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.
