The summary describes a physical medical device (guidewire) with a specific construction and coating, and there is no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
No.
The device is a guidewire used to introduce and position other devices, not to provide therapy itself. Its function is primarily procedural and diagnostic.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a guidewire used to introduce and position catheters, which are interventional rather than diagnostic functions. There is no mention of it being used to detect, diagnose, or monitor a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical guidewire constructed from materials like nitinol and platinum alloy, with a hydrophilic coating. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the Cordis Hydronol Steerable Guidewires are used within the peripheral vasculature during angiographic procedures to introduce and position catheters and interventional devices. This is an in vivo (within the living body) application.
The device is a tool used during a medical procedure performed on a patient, not a device used to test samples taken from a patient.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Cordis Hydronol Steerable Guidewires are designed for use in angiographic procedures to introduce and position catheters and interventional devices within the peripheral vasculature.

(a)
Identification. A catheter guide wire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a torque device that is manually operated, non-patient contacting, and intended to manipulate non-cerebral vascular guide wires, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

| Substantial | |
| Equivalence | The Cordis Hydronol Steerable Guidewire is similar in design, construction, indication for use and performance characteristics to other commercially available hydrophilic steerable guidewires. |
Any statement of substantial equivalence to another product is required by 21 CFR 807.87, and relates only to whether the present product can be marketed without prior reclassification or clinical approval. The present submission is therefore not related to the coverage of any patent, and is not to be interpreted as an admission or used as evidence in a patent infringement lawsuit. As the Commissioner of the FDA has stated, "... a determination of substantial equivalence under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act relates to the fact that the product can lawfully be marketed without pre-market approval or reclassification. This determination is not intended to have any bearing whatever on the resolution of patent infringement suits." 42 Fed. Reg. 42,520, et seg. (1977).
