No
The description focuses on the mechanical and material properties of a guidewire and does not mention any computational or algorithmic features indicative of AI/ML.

No
The device is a guidewire used to introduce and position other devices; it does not directly treat a medical condition.

No
The device is a guidewire used to introduce and position other devices, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical guidewire made of stainless steel and platinum alloy, which 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 is for "angiographic procedures to introduce and position catheters and interventional devices within the peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a medical procedure, not a device used to test samples outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guidewire with a corewire, coil, and potential steering device. This aligns with a medical device used in a procedure, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Cordis Vanguard Steerable Guidewires are a medical device used in interventional procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Substantial Equivalence

I

The Cordis Vanguard Steerable Guidewire is similar in design, construction, indication for use and performance characteristics to other commercially available 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).
