Intended Use
The Clyde Coronary Guidewire is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to reach and cross stenotic lesions prior to the insertion of a coronary balloon dilation catheter.
Device Description
The Clyde Coronary Guidewire is a 0.014" guidewire manufactured in lengths of 100-400 cm. The guidewire is made of a stainless steel, PTFE coated proximal shaft, which tapers down to a flexible distal tip. The tip area consists of a radiopaque tungsten spring coil. The distal 3 cm of the coil are very flexible and shapeable.

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

No
The device aids another therapeutic device (coronary balloon dilation catheter) to reach a lesion but does not directly provide therapy itself.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to reach and cross stenotic lesions, which is an interventional/therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one. Its purpose is to facilitate the insertion of a balloon dilation catheter, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical guidewire made of stainless steel and other materials, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for percutaneous procedures to reach and cross stenotic lesions within the body prior to inserting a balloon catheter. This is an in vivo procedure, meaning it's performed on a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire used for navigation within blood vessels. It does not describe a device used to examine specimens outside the body (in vitro).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Clyde Coronary Guidewire is a medical device used for a therapeutic and interventional procedure within the body.

Summary of Performance Studies

Equivalence in technological characteristics was substantiated by a detailed comparison of the Clyde and C-Thru coronary guidewire design and materials. Because of the similarity in materials a reduced biocompatibility battery, consisting of hemolysis and cytotoxicity, was conducted.

The results of these comparisons indicated that the Clyde coronary guidewire is equivalent to the C-Thru coronary guidewire and is, therefore, safe for the intended use.

Re: K970528 CLYDE™ Coronary Guidewire Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: DOX Dated: May 26, 1997 Received: May 28, 1997

Dear Mr. Ott:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in

regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or requlations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or at (301) 443-6597.
