Intended Use
This guide wire is intended to be used in the neuro vasculature to facilitate the placement and exchange of therapeutic devices such as cerebral catheters during intravascular therapy. This guide wire is intended for use only in the neuro vasculature.
Device Description
The ASAHI Neurovascular Guide Wire CHIKAI X 014 soft (hereafter "CHIKAI X 014 soft") is a steerable quide wire with a maximum diameter of 0.014 inches (0.36mm) and available in 200cm length. The extension wire is connected to the end of the guide wire outside the body for 200cm wire. The guide wire is constructed from a stainless steel core wire with a platinum-nickel and stainless steel coils. The coil assembly consists of an inner coil and an outer coil, and the coil assembly is soldered to the core wire. The distal end of the guide wire has a radiopaque tip to achieve visibility, and is available in a straight configuration and can be made to bend easily with the vessel curve. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal portion of the guide wire. The coil assembly construction is similar to the 510(K) cleared ASAHI Neurovascular Guide Wire CHIKAI with K110584.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical construction and mechanical performance of a guide wire, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The guide wire's intended use is to facilitate the placement and exchange of therapeutic devices, not to provide therapy itself.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of therapeutic devices, not to diagnose a condition. Its function is interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guide wire constructed from stainless steel, platinum-nickel, and coils, with a hydrophilic coating and radiopaque tip. This is a hardware 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 states that the guide wire is used in the neuro vasculature to facilitate the placement and exchange of therapeutic devices during intravascular therapy. This describes a device used within the body for a therapeutic procedure, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical construction of a guide wire designed for navigation within blood vessels. This aligns with an interventional medical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, tissue, etc.), providing diagnostic information, or any of the typical components or functions associated with IVD devices (reagents, assays, analyzers, etc.).

Therefore, this device is an interventional medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Non Clinical Testing / Performance Data:

The substantial equivalence of the CHIKAI X 014 soft line extension was evaluated in bench testing that followed the recommendations in the FDA guidance document; Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guidance, January 1995. Only those tests impacted by the device modifications were repeated. The table below provides a summary of the bench test methods, results and conclusions. Acceptance criteria for each of the tests were determined by prior comparative testing with predicate devices, ASAHI's established guide wire specifications, and clinical experience.

TestTest Method SummaryResults / Conclusions
Tensile StrengthTo determine maximum allowable
tensile load between connections, guide
wire is fixed in the Tensile Testing
Machine and pulled until failure.All test articles met established
acceptance criteria. Acceptance
criteria determined by evaluation of
predicate devices and ASAHI's
established tensile strength
specifications.
Torque StrengthTo determine torque strength, distal end
is inserted and advanced through
simulated model. Distal tip is held
stationary while proximal end is rotated
until failure.All test articles met established
acceptance criteria. Acceptance
criteria determined by evaluation of
predicate devices and ASAHI's
established torque strength
specifications.
TorqueabilityTo determine torque response,
guidewire is inserted through catheter
and into Rotational Response model.
Proximal end is rotated from 0° to
720°. Torque response at distal end is
measured at each 90° angle.All test articles met the acceptance
criteria. Acceptance criteria
determined by evaluation of
predicate devices and ASAHI's
established torqueability
specifications.
Tip FlexibilityTo determine flexibility of the distal end,
the force to deflect the guide wire 45°
and 90° at 5, 10, and 20mm from distal
tip is measure by a force analyzer
attached to a load cell.All test articles met established Tip
Flexibility acceptance criteria.
Acceptance criteria determined by
evaluation of predicate devices and
ASAHI's established tip flexibility
specifications.
Coating AdherenceIntegrity of coated outer coil and core
wire is determined before, and after,
pretreatment and manipulation in
excess of that expected in clinical use.Test results confirmed the integrity of
the coating was maintained during
simulated clinical use in all test
articles.
Catheter CompatibilityCatheter compatibility is evaluated by
measuring the force to withdraw the
guide wire that has been inserted
through the test catheter.All test articles met the acceptance
criteria. Resistance to catheter
withdrawal is similar or better than
predicate.
Bench TestingTo simulate clinical use, guidewire is
inserted through guide catheter placed
in simulated model and advanced to
target area. Microcatheter is inserted
over guidewire and advanced to target
cerebral artery multiple times.Test results on all test articles
confirmed guidewire performance.
Guidewire reached target area and
interventional catheter was
successfully advanced
over quide
wire to target site.

The in vitro bench tests demonstrated that the CHIKAI X 014 soft met all acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate devices. Performance data demonstrate that the device functions as intended and has a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate device.

BIOCOMPATIBILITY:

There have been no changes in materials of the Subject device as compared to the Predicate device. For this reason, no additional biocompatibility information is required for this Special 510(K).

CONCLUSION:

The CHIKAI X 014 soft has identical intended use and the same or similar technological characteristics such as components, design, materials, sterilization method, shelf life and operating principles as the predicate and reference device. Performance data demonstrates that the device functions as intended.

Therefore, the CHIKAI X 014 soft is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
