The description focuses on the physical properties and intended use of a wire guide for catheter positioning and insulation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device aids in catheter positioning and decreases the risk of burns but does not directly treat a disease or condition.
No
The text describes the device's function as assisting in catheter positioning or exchange and decreasing the risk of alternate site burns; it does not mention diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states the primary material used is TFE and describes performance testing related to the physical device, indicating it is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device being used inside or alongside a catheter for positioning or exchange within the urinary tract. It also mentions decreasing the risk of burns during electrosurgery. This is a surgical or procedural device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The description reinforces its use in a procedural context within the urinary tract and highlights its insulating properties.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used in a surgical or procedural setting, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 876.5130 Urological catheter and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A urological catheter and accessories is a flexible tubular device that is inserted through the urethra and used to pass fluids to or from the urinary tract. This generic type of device includes radiopaque urological catheters, ureteral catheters, urethral catheters, coudé catheters, balloon retention type catheters, straight catheters, upper urinary tract catheters, double lumen female urethrographic catheters, disposable ureteral catheters, male urethrographic catheters, and urological catheter accessories including ureteral catheter stylets, ureteral catheter adapters, ureteral catheter holders, ureteral catheter stylets, ureteral catheterization trays, and the gastro-urological irrigation tray (for urological use).(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for the ureteral stylet (guidewire), stylet for gastrourological catheter, ureteral catheter adapter, ureteral catheter connector, and ureteral catheter holder. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Proposed Classification Name:
Insulator Wire Guide
Electrosurgical Cutting & Coagulation Device & Accessories
Predicate Devices:
The Insulator Wire Guide is substantially equivalent to predicate insulated wire guides in terms of indications for use, design, construction and materials equivalence. Specifically, this device is similar to the Protector Plus manufactured by Wilson-Cook Medical Inc.
Device Description:
The Insulator Wire Guide is used either inside or alongside a urological catheter or electrosurgical catheter for catheter positioning or exchange in the urinary tract. When used with a electrosurgical catheter, the Insulator Wire Guide will decrease the risk of alternate site burns to the primary material used in this device is TFE. TFE is widely used in the medical field and biocompatibility is assured. Performance testing was performed showing the device to meet requirements for a safe and effective insulated wire guide.
Substantial Equivalence:
This device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a Quality Assurance Program. This device will undergo packaging similar to devices currently marketed and distributed by Cook Urological. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials and physical construction to predicate devices, this device meets the requirements for section 510(k) substantial equivalence.

Dear Ms. Bacon:
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 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 Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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 Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
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 vito diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613.
