More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical guide wire and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies are bench tests of physical properties.

No
Explanation: The device is intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices, but it is not itself a therapeutic device. It acts as a guide, not a treatment.

No

The guide wire is used to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices, but it is not itself a diagnostic device. It is a tool for procedural support.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "steerable guide wire" with physical dimensions and lengths, indicating it is a hardware device. The performance studies also involve bench testing of physical properties.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the guide wire is "intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures." This describes a device used within the body to aid in procedures, not a device used to test samples outside the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical guide wire used for navigation within blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This guide wire does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

Bench testing was performed to demonstrate that the HI-TORQUE STEELCORE™ 18 Guide Wire met the acceptance criteria and performed similar to the predicate guide wires. The following tests were performed:

  • Distal Tip Pull Test
  • Turns-to-Failure Test
  • Rotational Accuracy Test
  • Tip Flexibility Test
    The results from the bench tests showed that the new HI-TORQUE STEELCORE™ 18 Guide Wire met acceptance criteria and performed in a manner equivalent to the predicate guide wires. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing program.

  1. Device Trade Name: HI-TORQUE STEELCORE™ 18 Guide Wire

Device Common Name: Guide Wire

Device Classification Name: Catheter Guide Wire (74DQX)

    1. Predicate Devices: ACS HI-TORQUE IRON MAN™ Guide Wire (K963702, approved January 22, 1997) Medi-tech Platinum Plus™ Guide Wire (K945379, approved June 5, 1995)
    1. Device Description:

The HI-TORQUE STEELCORE™ 18 Guide Wire is a steerable guide wire with a nominal diameter of 0.018 inches and three lengths: a 130 cm, a 190 cm and a 300 cm exchange length.

  • న్. Intended Use:
    The HI-TORQUE STEELCORE™ 18 Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures. It is not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature.

    1. Technological Characteristics:
      Comparisons of the new and predicate devices show that technological characteristics such as materials, biocompatibility, performance properties (see below), sterilization, and packaging are identical or substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices.
    1. Performance Data:
      Bench testing was performed to demonstrate that the HI-TORQUE STEELCORE™ 18 Guide Wire met the acceptance criteria and performed similar to the predicate guide wires. The following tests were performed:
  • . Distal Tip Pull Test

  • Turns-to-Failure Test .

  • Rotational Accuracy Test ●

  • Tip Flexibility Test .

The results from the bench tests showed that the new HI-TORQUE STEELCORE™ 18 Guide Wire met acceptance criteria and performed in a manner equivalent to the predicate guide wires. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing program.

    1. Conclusions:
      Since the new guide wire has the same intended use, similar design and technological characteristics, equivalent performance properties, identical sterilization and packaging, and no new safety or effectiveness issues, the HI-TORQUE STEELCORE™ 18 Guide Wire may be considered substantially equivalent to the predicates, ACS Hi-Torque IRON MAN™ and the Medi-tech Platinum Plus™ Guide Wires.
