No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and physical properties of a guidewire, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device facilitates the placement of therapeutic catheters; it is not a therapeutic device itself.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a guidewire intended to facilitate the selective placement of therapeutic catheters, not to diagnose a condition. Its function is to provide access for other therapeutic tools, making it a treatment or procedural aid rather than a diagnostic tool.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical guidewire with various components (cable, shaft, core wire, handle) and mentions sterilization and single-use, indicating a hardware medical device.
Based on the provided information, the Columbus Guidewire is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the selective placement of therapeutic catheters within the body (intravascular use). IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
- Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire designed to be inserted into blood vessels. This is a medical device used in vivo, not a diagnostic tool used in vitro.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information. Its function is purely mechanical – guiding other catheters.
Therefore, the Columbus Guidewire is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an IVD.

Device Description
The Columbus guidewire is a 0.014" diameter steerable guidewire with a deflectable tip to aid in accessing vasculature. The guidewire is supplied sterile (ETO sterilization) and is for single use only. The Columbus guide wire is comprised of a Nitinol braided flexible distal cable, a proximal shaft, an inner core wire and a handle. The braided cable is attached to the proximal shaft via inner connector. The inner core wire runs inside the shaft and the cable from the distal end of the cable to the handle. The distal end of the inner core wire is flattened, looped around and joined to the tip of the distal cable, forming a deflectable tip. In order to actuate the tip deflection in two directions, the Columbus guidewire handle contains a tube assembly section which enables continuous stroke by a self-locking feature. The handle is assembled to the proximal end of the core wire and controls the movement of the distal tip by pulling/pushing the inner moveable core wire, allowing the bending of the distal tip in two directions. Two models are available, Columbus LR (large radius) PN: GWPP4464 which has radius curvature of 4mm and Columbus SR (small radius) PN: GWPP4463 which has radius curvature of 2mm. The Columbus guidewire is provided with a torque accessory to facilitate use of the guidewire and is not intended to contact the patient's body.

Pre-Clinical Animal Testing Data
As part of demonstrating the substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Rapid-Medical Ltd. completed two controlled GLP studies in domestic swine with the Columbus device and the predicate device. Usability, performance, and acute vascular safety were assessed in the first study, whereas the second study assessed acute safety and thromboresistance.
Acute procedural safety showed no device perforations or dissections or regional vascular thrombus assessed angiographically in either study. Regional devicecontacting thrombus was evaluated in accordance with recognized standards and guidelines in the second study and was also negative for both devices. Downstream macroscopic assessment of renal capsule, parenchyma, and native renal artery were also absent thrombi at the acute term assessment. In terms of usability and performance the following attributes were assessed: deliverability, visibility, controllability level, general impression, interface with accessory devices, radiopacity, intuitive actuation, device removal, ease of use, ergonomics, and device integrity. The usability and performance results of the first study demonstrate comparable performance for both devices. Therefore in 2 adequate and well controlled GLP studies, utilizing a total of 5 swine, assessments by well qualified experts in accordance with recognized methods, standards, and guidelines show safety, performance, usability, and thromboresistance of the Columbus that guidewire is substantially equivalent to Traxcess 14.
Statement of Substantial Equivalence
The Columbus device has the same intended use and indications for use, and similar technological characteristics compared to the Traxcess 14 predicate device. The minor differences do not raise different questions compared to the predicate, and the bench
9
and animal testing discussed above demonstrates that these differences do not adversely impact performance. Therefore, the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
