Intended Use
The SCIMED ChoICE PT Vision PTCA Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices during PTCA or other intravascular interventional procedures. The ChoICE PT Vision PTCA Guide Wires are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature. The devices are provided sterile and intended for one procedure only.
Device Description
The ChoICE PT Vision PTCA Guide Wires are steerable guide wires available in a nominal diameter of 0.014 inches and nominal lengths of 182 and 300 centimeters. The available tip flexibilities will be Floppy, Intermediate, Extra Support, Standard, Super Support, and Super Support II. The distal two centimeters of all models are straight shapeable or available in a pre-formed J-Tip. The tapered, distal stainless steel core wire is surrounded by a polyurethane sleeve and is coated with ICE™ Hydrophilic Coating. The Floppy, Intermediate, Extra Support, and Standard guide wires will have the distal 38 centimeters surrounded by the polyurethane sleeve and are available in radiopaque lengths of 2 and 38 cm. The Super Support and Super Support II guide wires will have the distal 10 centimeters surrounded by the polyurethane sleeve, and are available in radiopaque lengths of 2 and 10 cm. The proximal wire is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of a guide wire, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices, indicating it is not a therapeutic device itself but rather an accessory to them.

No

The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of other therapeutic devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical guide wire made of stainless steel, polyurethane, and PTFE, indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to "facilitate the placement and exchange of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices during PTCA or other intravascular interventional procedures." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a medical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire designed to be inserted into blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used to perform tests outside of the body on biological samples. This device is used inside the body to assist with a medical procedure.

Summary of Performance Studies

Testing and evaluation of the guide wires included tip tensile, tip torsion, combined load, and tip flexibility. Additionally, J-Tip curve retention, polyurethane shear strength, torque response, and PTCA catheter compatibility were performed. Test results verified that the ChoICE PT Vision PTCA Guide Wires met all of the minimum requirements and are adequate for their intended use.

Non-Clinical Test Summary: VI.

Testing and evaluation of the guide wires included tip tensile, tip torsion, combined load, and tip flexibility. Additionally, J-Tip curve retention, polyurethane shear strength, torque response, and PTCA catheter compatibility were performed. Test results verified that the ChoICE PT Vision PTCA Guide Wires met all of the minimum requirements and are adequate for their intended use. The ChoICE PT Vision PTCA Guide Wires are considered to be substantially equivalent to guide wires currently marketed by SCIMED (ChoICE, and ChoICE PT Guide Wires) based on a comparison of intended use, design and the results of in vitro testing and evaluation.
