No
The description focuses on hardware components (pressure wire, transducer, instrument) and basic signal processing ("microcomputer controlled instrument which processes the information"). There is no mention of AI, ML, or complex algorithms beyond calculating standard hemodynamic parameters like gradient or FFR.
Yes
The device is described as measuring blood pressure for diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases and can guide interventional procedures, which are considered therapeutic uses.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is used to "measure blood pressure during diagnostic and/or interventional procedures" and provide "hemodynamic information for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary and/or peripheral artery disease."
No
The device description clearly details hardware components including a pressure wire with a transducer, a rotary connector cable, a patient cable, and a microcomputer-controlled instrument (WaveMap Pressure Instrument). While software is involved in processing the data, the device is fundamentally a system of hardware and software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Cardiometrics WaveWire/WaveMap Pressure System directly measures blood pressure within the coronary and peripheral arteries during diagnostic and interventional procedures. This is an in vivo measurement (within the living body), not an in vitro measurement (outside the living body).
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used to "measure blood pressure during diagnostic and/or interventional procedures" and to "provide hemodynamic information for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary and/or peripheral artery disease." This is a direct physiological measurement within the patient.
Therefore, the Cardiometrics WaveWire/WaveMap Pressure System is a medical device used for in vivo physiological measurement, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Cardiometrics WaveWire/WaveMap Pressure System is intended for use in the coronary and peripheral arteries to measure blood pressure during diagnostic and/or interventional procedures. The WaveWire may be used to guide the positioning of balloon dilatation catheters, as well as other interventional devices such as atherectomy devices, lasers and stents. Blood pressure measurements are obtained to provide hemodynamic information for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary and/or peripheral artery disease.

Device Description
The Cardiometrics WaveWire Pressure Wire is a steerable guide wire designed to perform real-time invasive pressure measurements in the vasculature. The WaveWire has a nominal outer diameter of either .014" or .018" and is 175 cm in length. It has a 3 cm . shapeable radiopaque tip coil that is available in three different stiffnesses: floppy. flex and firm. The WaveWire XT Pressure Wire design provides increased column strength in the distal segment of the wire just proximal to the guide wire while retaining the floppy characteristics of the tip itself: the increased column strength supports certain interventional devices (Note: All other characteristics of the WaveWire XT Pressure Wire are the same as the non-XT WaveWire). A miniature pressure transducer is mounted at the junction of the radiopaque tip coil and the radiolucent proximal coil. The WaveWire Pressure Wire is connected to the WaveMap Pressure Instrument via a rotary connector cable and patient cable. Each rotary connector cable includes an identification memory chip containing the calibration constants for the pressure transducer. In addition, the WaveWire Pressure Guide Wire is designed to be compatible with the Cordis CINCH® extension system.
The WaveMap Pressure Instrument is intended for use only with the WaveWire Pressure Wire. The WaveMap is a microcomputer controlled instrument which processes the information from the transducer mounted in the WaveWire to produce real-time blood pressure measurements. The WaveMap provides digital readouts of mean aortic pressure from a guide catheter, mean WaveWire pressure, and a calculated parameter, such as gradient or fractional flow reserve (FFR). The WaveMap also supplies an analog output of the WaveWire pressure for display on a conventional physiologic monitoring system or strip chart recorder.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench testing for the WaveWire Pressure Wire was conducted according to the FDA guidance document entitled, "Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guide Wire Guidance", dated January 1995. Evaluations completed were:
Screw Tip to Core Wire Joint Test Screw Tip to Tip Coil Tensile Strength Tip Coil to (Housing) Proximal Coil Tensile Strength Proximal Coil to Hypotube Tensile Strength Turns-to-Failure Torque Response Functional (Accuracy) Testing
Inadvertent disengagement (for the Cordis CINCH® Extension System), Coating and Particulate Testing, Radiopacity, Dome Integrity, Core Wire-to-Hypotube Joint Test, and Bending/Stiffness evaluations were not performed due to the similarity in design between the WaveWire Pressure Wire, the FloWire Doppler Guide Wire and AccuTrac Intravascular Guide Wire. The results from these tests equally apply to the WaveWire Pressure Wire.
Electrical safety testing was conducted to assure the WaveMap Pressure Instrument complies with the requirements of IEC-601-1, UL2601, CSA 22.2 and CSA601-1, Safety of Medical Electrical Equipment. Electromagnetic compatibility testing was conducted to assure the WaveMap Pressure Instrument complies with the requirements of IEC 601-1-2.
