Intended Use
The CLIMBER - Partially Coated Guide Wire for Endoscopic Use is designed for endoscopic use. The CLIMBER is used for supporting cannulation or insertion into bile duct strictures and pancreatic duct strictures.
Device Description
The CLIMBER has a core of titanium nickel alloy coated with polyurethane. The distal tip up to 150 cm is coated again with polyurethane and then is coated with a hydrogel. The remaining 300 cm of the wire is coated with silicone. The wires are 450 cm in length and come in 0.035" diameter. The tip shape is available in straight or angled, shapeable; and straight or angled, non-shapeable.

No
The summary describes a physical guide wire and its material properties and performance characteristics. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.
The device is a guide wire used to facilitate the insertion of other devices, not to treat a condition itself.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a guide wire designed for "supporting cannulation or insertion into bile duct strictures and pancreatic duct strictures." Its function is to facilitate the placement of other instruments, not to detect, diagnose, or monitor a disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical guide wire made of titanium nickel alloy with various coatings, indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for supporting cannulation or insertion into bile duct strictures and pancreatic duct strictures during endoscopic procedures. This is a therapeutic or procedural use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a guide wire used for physical manipulation within the body. This is consistent with a surgical or interventional device, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed (Butting Load, Tip Flexibility, etc.) are related to the physical properties and performance of the guide wire during insertion and manipulation, not to the accuracy of a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This guide wire does not fit that description.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
