Intended Use
The SCIMED Quest Floppy and Moderate Support Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices during PTCA or other intravascular interventional procedures. The Quest Floppy and Moderate Support Guide Wires are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature. The devices are provided sterile and intended for one procedure only.
Device Description
The SCIMED Quest Floppy and Moderate Support Guide Wires are steerable guide wires available in a nominal diameter of 0.014 inches and nominal lengths of 182 and 300 centimeters. The available tip flexibilities will be Floppy and Moderate Support. The distal two centimeters of both models are radiopaque and available in either a straight shapeable or a pre-formed J-Tip.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and functionality of a guide wire, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a "guide wire" intended to "facilitate the placement and exchange of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices", indicating it aids in the use of therapeutic devices rather than being therapeutic itself.

No
The device is a guide wire intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of other therapeutic devices, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical guide wire, which is a hardware component, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the guide wires are used to "facilitate the placement and exchange of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices during PTCA or other intravascular interventional procedures." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) to assist in a medical procedure.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire designed to be inserted into blood vessels.

The information provided consistently points to a device used directly within the patient's body during a procedure, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Testing and evaluation of the guide wires included tip tensile strength, tip torsion strength, combined load strength, tip flexibility, tip prolapse, J-tip curve retention, torque response, proximal spring coil joint shear strength, PTCA catheter compatibility/wire movement and lubricious coating adherence. Shelf Life testing is currently being conducted and will be submitted when it is completed.

Dear Ms. Townsend:

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 leqally marketed predicate 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 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 requlation 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
