Intended Use
The Applied Medical Laparoscopic Guidewire is intended to assist the physician in navigation, placement and exchange of laparoscopic and general surgical instrumentation.
Device Description
The Applied Medical Laparoscopic Guidewire is substantially equivalent in function, physical configuration and materials to the Applied Medical Urological Guidewire approved under K944135/A and a guidewire marketed by Cook Urological under K880100. The Applied Medical Laparoscopic guidewire and the predicate devices have a radiopaque body with a flexible, tapered tip allowing ease of access and visibility during placement. Differences include a change of indicated use and a selection of different lengths.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of a guidewire, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is intended to assist medical professionals in the navigation, placement, and exchange of surgical instruments, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No
The device is a guidewire intended to assist in navigation, placement, and exchange of surgical instrumentation, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Laparoscopic Guidewire" with a "radiopaque body" and "flexible, tapered tip," indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "assist the physician in navigation, placement and exchange of laparoscopic and general surgical instrumentation." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to manipulate instruments within the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of a guidewire used for surgical navigation and placement.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health, diagnose conditions, or monitor treatment.

IVD devices are specifically designed for testing biological samples to provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical tool used for procedural assistance.

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

Mechanical and biocompatibility tests were performed to verify functional and structural integrity and material safety. All testing has demonstrated that the Applied Medical Laparoscopic Guidewire is comparable to the predicate device and introduces no new safety and effectiveness issues when used as indicated.
