No
The summary describes a physical medical device (guide wire) with different configurations and materials. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.

Explanation: The guide wires are described as facilitating the placement and exchange of therapeutic devices, rather than performing a therapeutic function themselves.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of other therapeutic devices. Its purpose is procedural assistance, not the collection or analysis of diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical guide wire with specific dimensions, materials (polymer sleeve, core wire), and configurations (tip shapes, flexibilities, lengths). There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is 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 within the body for a therapeutic or interventional purpose, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire with specific dimensions, materials, and tip configurations, designed to be inserted into blood vessels. This aligns with an interventional medical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the SCIMED ChoICE Guide Wires are classified as an interventional medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

| Intended Use | The SCIMED ChoICE 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 Guide Wires are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature. The devices are provided sterile and intended for one procedure only. |
| Summary of Technological Characteristics | The modified ChoICE Guide Wires utilize the same materials and methods of construction as the currently marketed ChoICE Family of Guide Wires and the ChoICE PT Family of Guide Wires. The change consists of a modification to the core wire dimensions. |
| Non-Clinical Test Summary | Additional testing of the modified ChoICE Extra Support Guide Wires was not performed since the identical core wire dimension is present on the ChoICE PT Extra Support Guide Wires.

Testing presented in K960657, ChoICE PT Extra Support on the first support diameter is directly applicable to the ChoICE Extra Support because of the identical design in this section of the wire. |
