The description focuses on the physical characteristics and performance of a guidewire, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is a guidewire used to introduce and position other interventional devices; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.
No
The device, a guidewire, is used to introduce and position other devices within the vasculature. While it can be used in "coronary and peripheral diagnostic or interventional procedures," the guidewire itself does not perform a diagnostic function; it facilitates the use of other tools that might be diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical guidewire made of stainless steel and nitinol, which is a hardware component, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the guidewires are for "percutaneous procedures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used within the body for a medical procedure, not a device used to test samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of a guidewire used for navigation within blood vessels. This aligns with an interventional device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This guidewire does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The PVS 1400 Guidewire performance was compared to predicate devices by testing tip flexibility, tensile strength, torqueability, torsional stiffness and torsional strength, catheter compatibility, and coating flake resistance.
Tip Flexibility - The PVS 1400 Guidewire had similar values of tip flexibility compared to three predicate devices, similar to two predicates but less flexible than one.
Tensile Strength - The PVS 1400 Guidewire had similar values of tensile strength compared to two predicate devices, similar to one predicate device and lower tensile strength than the other.
Torqueability - The PVS 1400 Guidewire had much better torqueability (i.e., much less difference between proximal input angle and distal tip output angle in a simulated tortuous anatomy) than the predicate device against which it was compared.
Torsional Stiffness and Strength - The PVS 1400 Guidewire had approximately 7.5 times higher torsional stiffness than the ACS predicate device against which it was compared. The PVS 1400 Guidewire had approximately 3 times higher torsional strength than the ACS predicate device against which it was compared. The PVS 1400 Guidewire had higher torsional stiffness than the Microvena UltraSelect® Standard Tip and the Boston Scientific/Medi-Tech Target Stubbie® predicate devices, it had higher torsional strength than these two predicate devices, and it had approximately the same or more turns to failure as these two predicate devices.
Catheter Compatibility - The PVS 1400 Guidewire had catheter compatibility that was similar to that of the three predicate devices against which it was compared.
Coating Flake Resistance - The PVS 1400 Guidewire had coating adhesion/flake resistance that was similar to that of the predicate device against which it was compared.
The results of the testing establish that the PVS 1400 Guidewire is substantially equivalent in physical performance characteristics to its predicate devices.
Biocompatibility Data: The PVS 1400 Guidewire biocompatibility was tested per FDA guidance for an external communicating device in contact with circulating blood for less than 24 hours. Tests performed include cytotoxicity, systemic toxicity, intracutaneous reactivity (irritation), sensitization, and hemocompatibility (hemolysis and thrombogenicity).
The results of the testing establish that the PVS 1400 Guidewire is biocompatible.

it. Once the package is opened or damaged outside the sterile field, it can no longer be considered sterile. Inspect all packaging upon receipt for evidence of damage. Damaged packaging renders the product unsafe for use. Return all devices whose packaging appears damaged upon receipt. Subsequently damaged product packaging requires product replacement. Product for use in the operating room must be opened, handled and placed into use following accepted operating room sterile technique.
Sterilization: The guidewires are supplied pre-sterilized by Gamma radiation; alternatively, the devices may be pre-sterilized with ethylene oxide (EtO). The selected radiation dose is 20 K Grey minimum. The Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of the guidewire is at least 106. The device may not be secondarily cleaned or resterilized. Validation of the recommended sterilization cycle is achieved through the overkill method. In addition, testing will be performed by an independent contract laboratory to demonstrate that the product sterilized in the validated EtO cycle does not contain residuals above the levels specified:
ppm
| Ethylene Oxide | ≤ 25 ppm |
|---|---|
| Ethylene Chlorohydrin | ≤ 25 ppm |
| Ethylene Glycol | ≤ 250 ppm |
