Intended Use
GT2 Fusion Guide Wires are steerable guide wires that are used for the introduction and placement of diagnostic or interventional devices in the coronary and peripheral vasculature and may be used to reach and cross a target lesion. The GT2 Fusion Guide Wires are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature. GT2 Fusion steerable exchange wires are used to facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another
Device Description
The major components of the device include the hypotube, core wire, spring, and forming member. The Medtronic® GT2 Fusion Guide Wire is similar in performance to the predicate devices. These wires will be available in: .014" diameter 180cm & 300 cm in length Straight and "J" tip configurations PTFE coating with Pro/Pel coating and PTFE coating with hydrophilic coating on the distal 60 cm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and mechanical performance of a guide wire, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a guide wire used for the introduction and placement of diagnostic or interventional devices, primarily to facilitate medical procedures rather than directly administering therapy itself.

No

The device is a steerable guide wire used for the introduction and placement of diagnostic or interventional devices, but it is not itself a diagnostic device. Its function is to facilitate the use of other devices, some of which may be diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly lists physical components like hypotube, core wire, spring, and forming member, indicating it is a hardware device.

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 device is used for the introduction and placement of diagnostic or interventional devices in the coronary and peripheral vasculature. This describes a device used within the body for procedural guidance, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a 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 elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the GT2 Fusion Guide Wire is a medical device used for interventional and diagnostic procedures within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

In-vitro performance testing of the guidewire included dimensional inspection, tensile strength, torque strength, coating adhesion and durability, tip whip, tip stiffness and distal trackability. Test results verified that the Medtronic® GT2 Fusion Guide Wires meet all of the applicable specifications and are deemed adequate for the intended use. All appropriate biocompatibility tests, with the exception of sensitization, which will be available on July 12, 1999, were successfully performed on the materials used for the Medtronic® GT2 Fusion Guide Wires.
