Intended Use
The ESSENCE™ Guidewires are intendedfor the introduction and positioning of catheters and interventional devices within the peripheral, coronary and neurovascular systems. The mid value a soft, flexible tip and may be used with intravascular devices what are indicated for use with such guidewires.
Device Description
The ESSENCE™ Guidewires are similar in its basic design, construction, indication for use and performance characteristics to other commercially available steerable guidewires.
More Information

No
The summary describes a traditional guidewire and makes no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as intended for the "introduction and positioning of catheters and interventional devices," which are typically diagnostic or interventional tools, not therapeutic in themselves. Its function is to facilitate other procedures, not to directly treat a condition.

No
The device is a guidewire, which is used for the introduction and positioning of other medical devices (catheters and interventional devices), not for diagnosing. Its function is to facilitate the delivery of other devices.

No

The device description clearly states "The ESSENCE™ Guidewires are similar in its basic design, construction, indication for use and performance characteristics to other commercially available steerable guidewires," indicating a physical, hardware-based medical device.

Based on the provided information, the ESSENCE™ Guidewire is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the guidewire is for "introduction and positioning of catheters and interventional devices within the peripheral, coronary and neurovascular systems." This describes a device used within the body for medical procedures, not a device used to test samples outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on its physical characteristics and similarity to other steerable guidewires used in interventional procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests on bodily fluids or tissues, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

Therefore, the ESSENCE™ Guidewire is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
