More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical medical device (guidewire) and its performance and biocompatibility testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or any related concepts.

No
The device is a guidewire that facilitates the placement and exchange of therapeutic devices, but it is not a therapeutic device itself.

No
A diagnostic device is used to identify or analyze a disease or condition. This guidewire is intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of therapeutic devices, which is an interventional or therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a core wire, coils, coatings, a shaping mandrel, and a torque device, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Synxess Neurovascular Guidewire Function: The description clearly states the device is a guidewire used within the neuro vasculature to facilitate the placement and exchange of other therapeutic devices. It is a tool used during a medical procedure, not for analyzing samples outside the body.

The intended use and device description are consistent with a surgical or interventional device, not an IVD.

Dear Kason Gui:

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 (the 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 available 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 that the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

(https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the quality system (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review. the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the QS regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rue"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

Sterilization Validation

The Synxess Neurovascular Guidewire is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EO). The EO sterilization process of the device has been validated per ISO 11135:2014. The sterilant residuals have also been tested and met the acceptance criteria per ISO 10993-7:2008. The device is labeled as "non-pyrogenic".

Shelf-Life Validation

The shelf-life of the Synxess Neurovascular Guidewire is 3 years and is validated by testing of the accelerated aged devices.

Clinical Data

No clinical testing was deemed necessary to support the substantial equivalence of the subject device.

Conclusion

The Synxess Neurovascular Guidewire has the same intended use and indications for use, and similar technological characteristics compared to the predicate ASAHI CHIKAI Neurovascular Guide Wires. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate, and the nonclinical testing discussed above demonstrates that the subject device performs as intended. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices ASAHI CHIKAI Neurovascular Guide Wire, K110584, and ASAHI CHIKAI 10 Neurovascular Guide Wire, K112979.
