Intended Use
This product is intended to direct a catheter to the desired anatomical vasculature (excluding coronary and cerebral vessels) during diagnostic or interventional procedures.
Device Description
The CROSSLEAD 0.018inch is steerable guide wire with a maximum diameter of 0.46mm (0.018inches) and available in various lengths of 100 cm, 200 cm, 235 cm and 300 cm. The quide wire consists of a hybrid nitinol (Ni-Ti) and stainlesssteel (SUS) core wire with a stainless steel inner coil, a stainless steel and Platinum-Nickel (Pt-Ni) outer coil. The coil is radiopaque to achieve visibility and can be made to bend easily to accommodate vessel tortuosity. A hydrophilic and polyurethane coating are applied to the distal portion of the guide wire. A hydrophobic coating (PTFE) is applied to proximal portion. The purpose of these surface coatings is to provide lubricity when the guide wire is passed through percutaneous catheters.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and materials of a steerable guide wire. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven functionalities. The performance studies described are bench tests, not studies involving AI/ML model training or evaluation.

No
The device is a guidewire designed to direct a catheter, which is a diagnostic or interventional procedure rather than a therapeutic one itself. Its function is to facilitate the delivery of other instruments, not to treat a condition.

No

This device is a guide wire, which is an interventional tool used to navigate catheters within the vasculature. While it can be used during "diagnostic or interventional procedures," its function is not to diagnose conditions itself but rather to facilitate other diagnostic or interventional instruments.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical guide wire made of various materials with coatings, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a steerable guide wire intended to direct a catheter within the anatomical vasculature. This is an invasive medical device used inside the body during a procedure.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze samples or perform any kind of diagnostic test on bodily fluids or tissues. Its function is purely mechanical – guiding a catheter.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the CROSSLEAD 0.018inch is a medical device, but it falls under the category of an invasive surgical/interventional device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
