Intended Use
The Inno-Pathwire is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
Device Description
The Inno-Pathwire is a steerable guidewire available in a diameter of 0.014" (0.36 mm) and an effective length of 190 cm. The distal tip is shapeable. Before use, the tip can be shaped "J". The wire construction includes a stainless steel proximal shaft and a distal super-elastic nitinol shaft for flexibility and performance. The two shafts are connected by a super-elastic nitinol hypotube. The distal shaft is soldered with the tip coil or the tip coil and proximal coil both. For IW-14-190-EXS model, the distal shaft is soldered to the tip coil only but for IW-14-190-STS and IW-14-190-MDS, their distal shafts are soldered to the tip coil and proximal coil both. The tip coil is visible under Xray to assist the physician with the movement of the guidewire. The distal segment of the guidewire, up to the hypotube, is coated with hydrophilic coating to reduce friction for improved guidewire movement within the catheter and arteries. The proximal end of the guidewire is coated with PTFE coating which reduces friction of the wire within a catheter. The guidewire is packaged in a plastic dispenser that is contained within an individual package. A Torquer is included which connects to the proximal end of the guidewire for twisting and controlling the guidewire. The guidewires are packaged within a cardboard box which contains five individual guidewires.

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 Inno-Pathwire is intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters, not to provide therapy itself. It is an accessory device for procedures.

No

The device is a steerable guidewire intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters, not to diagnose a condition. Its function is interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guidewire with specific materials, coatings, and a torquer, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to "facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA)." This describes a procedure performed within the body (in vivo) to treat a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire designed to be inserted into blood vessels.
  • Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical sites are "Coronary arteries, peripheral arteries," which are internal structures of the body.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. The Inno-Pathwire does not perform this function. It is a medical device used during a medical procedure.

Comparison of the Inno-Pathwire and Predicate Device

The Inno-Pathwire is substantially equivalent to the HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT Guide Wire in technology / principal of operation is similar in the material and design. The main differences between the Inno-Pathwire device and the predicate device are the tip coil material and the hydrophilic coating material. These differences do not affect the intended use, safety or effectiveness of the Inno-Pathwire. Performance (bench) testing and biocompatibility testing were performed to demonstrate that the proposed device performs as intended and does not raise new questions of safety or efficacy compared to the predicate devices.
