No
The document describes a physical guide wire and its coatings, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended to facilitate the placement of other therapeutic devices like balloon dilatation catheters and stent devices during therapeutic procedures such as angioplasty and atherectomy.

No

The device is primarily intended to facilitate the placement of other medical equipment for therapeutic procedures. While it can facilitate the placement of equipment during "other diagnostic and therapeutic procedures," its direct function is not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical guide wire constructed from stainless steel with various coatings and features, indicating 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 Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that this device is a guide wire used within the body during percutaneous procedures (PTCA, PTA, atherectomy, stent placement). It facilitates the placement of other devices within the coronary and other intravascular systems.

This device is an invasive medical device used for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures performed in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in a test tube or lab setting).

The HI-TORQUE Guide Wires with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating are steerable guide wires with a nominal diameters of .010",014" and .018"and available in two lengths: a 190 cm extendable length and a 300 cm exchange length. The proximal end of the 190 cm models are tapered to fit into the hypotube portion of the ACS DOC Guide Wire Extension. The wires are constructed from a stainless steel core wire. The distal end of this guide wires have radiopaque tips that are available either as a straight, shapeable configuration or as a preshaped J. The hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal portion of the wire guide wire. The proximal section of the guide wire is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene.

  • క. Intended Use:
    The HI-TORQUE BALANCE® Guide Wire with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating and the ACS HI-TORQUE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT™ Guide Wire with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating have the following intended uses:

  • To facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters during percutaneous . transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).

  • The ACS HI-TORQUE EXTRA S'PORT™ Guide Wire with . HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating and the ACS HI-TORQUE IRON MANTM Guide Wire with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating are also intended to facilitate the placement of equipment such as atherectomy, IVUS and compatible stent devices during other diagnostic and therapeutic intravascular procedures.

  • Technological Characteristics: 6.

2

Comparisons of the new and predicate devices show that technological characteristics such as materials, biocompatibility, performance properties, sterilization, and packaging are identical or substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices. The design feature that distinguish the new guide wires from that of the predicate wires is the new hydrophilic coating.

7. Performance Data:

Bench testing was performed to demonstrate that the ACS HI-TORQUE® Guide Wire with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating met the acceptance criteria and performed similar to the predicate HI-TORQUE® Guide Wire with MICROGLIDE® Coating. The following tests were performed:

  • Accelerated Aging .
  • Distal Tip Pull Test .
  • Distal Tip Turns-to-Failure Test .
  • Rotational Accuracy Test .
  • Tip Flexibility Test .
  • . Coating Adherence/Integrity

The results from the bench tests showed that the new ACS HI-TORQUE® Guide Wires with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating met the acceptance criteria and performed in a manner equivalent the predicate ACS HI-TORQUE® Guide Wire with MICROGLIDE® Coating and the ChoICE™ PT Plus Guide Wire. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing program.

8. Conclusions:

Since the new guide wires have the same intended use, design and technological characteristics, equivalent performance properties, identical sterilization and packaging, and no new safety or effectiveness issues, the ACS HI-TORQUE® Guide Wires with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating may be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate ACS HI-TORQUE® Guide Wires with MICROGLIDE® Coating. Additionally, the new guide wires performed substantially equivalent with regards to coating adhesion integrity to the ChoICETM PT Plus Guide Wire therefore, we conclude the new guide wire may be considered substatntially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Anderson:

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 II (Special Controls) or 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Requlation (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 requlatory 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 the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
