Intended Use
The Zoom 14 Guidewire is intended for general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices. The guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
Device Description
The Zoom 14 Guidewire is a modification of Scientia Vascular's Aristotle 14 Guidewire. It is a 0.014" diameter steerable guidewire with a shapeable tip to aid in accessing vasculature. The guidewire is supplied sterile and is for single use only. It is provided in a range of stiffness profiles: support and extra support. The product is provided in lengths of 200cm or 300cm. The distal portion of the guidewire tip includes a radiopaque platinum wire marker coil to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The guidewire has a hydrophilic polymer coating on the distal portion and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating on the proximal portion to reduce friction during manipulation in vessels. The guidewire is provided with a shaping mandrel, an introducer (to aid with the insertion of the guidewire into a catheter hub and/or a hemostasis valve) and a torque device (to attach to the proximal portion to facilitate gripping and manipulation of the guidewire during use). The mandrel, introducer and torque accessory devices are included to facilitate use of the guidewire and are not intended to contact the patient's body.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a guidewire, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is a guidewire used to introduce and position other interventional devices, not to provide therapy itself.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is to "introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices," which is a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one. While it facilitates fluoroscopic visualization, this is for guiding the intervention, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guidewire with various material components, coatings, and accessory devices, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Zoom 14 Guidewire is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices." This describes a device used within the body for procedural purposes, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire designed to be inserted into blood vessels. It mentions features like a shapeable tip, radiopaque marker, and coatings to facilitate its use within the vasculature.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Zoom 14 Guidewire does not fit this definition. It is an interventional medical device used for accessing and navigating within the vascular system.

Scientia Vascular LLC Special 510(k) Zoom 14 Guidewire

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Zoom 14 Guidewire is a modification of Scientia Vascular's Aristotle 14 Guidewire. It is a 0.014" diameter steerable guidewire with a shapeable tip to aid in accessing vasculature. The guidewire is supplied sterile and is for single use only. It is provided in a range of stiffness profiles: support and extra support. The product is provided in lengths of 200cm or 300cm.

The distal portion of the guidewire tip includes a radiopaque platinum wire marker coil to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The guidewire has a hydrophilic polymer coating on the distal portion and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating on the proximal portion to reduce friction during manipulation in vessels.

The guidewire is provided with a shaping mandrel, an introducer (to aid with the insertion of the guidewire into a catheter hub and/or a hemostasis valve) and a torque device (to attach to the proximal portion to facilitate gripping and manipulation of the guidewire during use). The mandrel, introducer and torque accessory devices are included to facilitate use of the guidewire and are not intended to contact the patient's body.

The Zoom 14 Guidewire is substantially equivalent with respect to technological characteristics, design and materials to the previously cleared Aristotle 14 Guidewire.

INDICATION FOR USE

The Zoom 14 Guidewire is intended for general vascular use within the neuro and peripheral vasculatures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices. The guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.

This is the same indication for use as previously cleared for the Aristotle 14 Guidewire, K173235.

INTENDED USE

The Zoom 14 Guidewire is intended for use by a physician to help introduce and position catheters or other interventional devices within the neuro and peripheral vasculature.

The Zoom 14 Guidewire has the following similarities to the previously cleared Aristotle 14 Guidewire:

  • . Both devices have the same indicated use,
  • Both devices have the same intended use ●
  • Both devices use the same operating principle,
  • Both devices incorporate the same basic guidewire design, ●
  • Both devices incorporate the same materials, and ●

The subject device, Zoom 14 Guidewire, has one technological characteristic difference when compared to the predicate device. This differing technological characteristic does not result in new materials used or new questions of safety or effectiveness, nor does it result in new risks for the subject device. Testing of the subject device has been performed, demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the device.

NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTS

Biocompatibility

The materials used in the manufacture of the subject device Zoom 14 Guidewire are identical to those used in the manufacturing of the predicate device Aristotle 14 Guidewire, as seen in the table below.

The Zoom 14 Guidewire uses the same manufacturing assembly equipment and processes as the Aristotle 14 Guidewire. The Zoom 14 Guidewire and the Aristotle 14 Guidewire differ in the stiffness profile, with no overall dimensional or material differences. Since the Zoom 14 is identical to the Aristotle 14 in this respect, with no new materials or processes, the product has already been tested for biocompatibility and chemical analysis.

Sterilization

100% EO is used to sterilize the device to achieve a SAL of at least 10°. The Zoom 14 Guidewire and the Aristotle 14 are similar with regards to all device and packaging characteristics that could affect the ability to sterilize the devices.

Functional Testing

Functional testing on the subject device was performed after conducting a risk assessment in accordance with EN ISO 14971:2012 Medical Devices - Risk Management. This testing was performed in accordance with ISO 11070:2014 Sterile single-use intravascular introducers, dilators and guidewires and the FDA Guidance Document Coronary, Peripheral and Neurovascular Guidewires – Performance Tests and Recommended Labeling (2019). Table 2 summarizes the functional tests performed and test results obtained to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device:
