Intended Use
SCIMED guide catheters are intended for use in general intravascular and coronary applications. They provide a pathway through which medical instruments, such as balloon dilatation catheters, guide wires or other therapeutic devices may be introduced. These devices are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature
Device Description
The shaft of the 8 F Wiseguide guide catheter utilizes common biocompatible materials and consists of the following three layers: 1) the inner polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer that provides a low coefficient of friction and facilitates easy passage of medical devices such as balloon dilatation catheters, guide wires or other therapeutic devices, 2) the middle layer which is made of braided stainless steel wire that extends from the shaft to the tip to provide kink resistance, torque control and support and 3) the outer layer, manufactured from Pebax® and a radiopaque filler, which provides stiffness, memory and radiopacity. In addition, the distal 5.8 to 17.5 inches (depending on the curve style) of the outer primary catheter shaft is constructed of multiple sections of Pebax. These sections are composed of durometers of Pebax providing a distal curve area of the catheter with transitional flexibility. The catheter is assembled as components over a core mandrel. The catheter shaft is then heat fused, forming a composite catheter shaft. This process results in a continuous inner and middle layer and a seamless outer shaft layer. The distal tip is made of Pebax and is radiopaque to allow visualization under fluoroscopy during a procedure. The catheters utilize a one piece Pebax hub/strain relief that is molded to the proximal end of the guide catheter shaft. The 8 F Wiseguide Guide Catheters have a 0.086" ID. The catheters will be available in lengths ranging from 40 to 125 cm, with optional side holes. The devices will be provided sterile and are intended for one procedure use only.
More Information

Not Found

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

No.
The device is a guide catheter, which provides a pathway for other medical instruments, including therapeutic devices, but it is not itself a therapeutic device.

No

This device is a guide catheter designed to provide a pathway for other medical instruments, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details the physical components of a guide catheter, including materials like PTFE, stainless steel, and Pebax, and describes manufacturing processes like heat fusing. This indicates a hardware medical device, not a software-only one.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Function: The SCIMED guide catheter is a medical instrument used within the body to facilitate the introduction of other devices during intravascular and coronary procedures. It does not analyze or test specimens from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it provides a pathway for other medical instruments within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the SCIMED guide catheter is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The shaft of the 8 F Wiseguide guide catheter utilizes common biocompatible materials and consists of the following three layers: 1) the inner polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer that provides a low coefficient of friction and facilitates easy passage of medical devices such as balloon dilatation catheters, guide wires or other therapeutic devices, 2) the middle layer which is made of braided stainless steel wire that extends from the shaft to the tip to provide kink resistance, torque control and support and 3) the outer layer, manufactured from Pebax® and a radiopaque filler, which provides stiffness, memory and radiopacity.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Functional testing consisted of pressure burst, tip bond tensile, shaft tensile, hub tensile, tip coefficient of friction, force transmitted by the catheter tip, and torque testing. Biocompatibility and shelf life testing has also been conducted. Test results verified that the 8 F Wiseguide catheter is adequate for its intended use.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness, cont.

The distal tip is made of Pebax and is radiopaque to allow visualization under fluoroscopy during a procedure.

The catheters utilize a one piece Pebax hub/strain relief that is molded to the proximal end of the guide catheter shaft. The 8 F Wiseguide Guide Catheters have a 0.086" ID. The catheters will be available in lengths ranging from 40 to 125 cm, with optional side holes. The devices will be provided sterile and are intended for one procedure use only.

IV. Intended Use

The SCIMED guide catheters are designed to provide a pathway through which medical instruments, such as balloon dilatation catheters, guide wires or other therapeutic devices may be introduced. These devices are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature.

V. Summary of Technological Characteristics:

The 8 F Wiseguide Guide Catheters are similar to SCIMED's currently marketed 8 F Cyber Guide Catheters with the exception of the distal flexible sections providing varying degrees of flexibility in the distal curve area.

VI. Non-clinical Test Summary

Functional testing consisted of pressure burst, tip bond tensile, shaft tensile, hub tensile, tip coefficient of friction, force transmitted by the catheter tip, and torque testing. Biocompatibility and shelf life testing has also been conducted. Test results verified that the 8 F Wiseguide catheter is adequate for its intended use. The 8 F Wiseguide guide catheters are considered substantially equivalent to guide catheters currently marketed by SCIMED and Cordis based on a comparison of intended use, the design and the results of in-vitro testing and evaluation.
