No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing of data.

No.
The device is intended to facilitate other procedures and devices (introduce and position catheters and interventional devices, facilitate alignment, function as a measurement tool) rather than directly treat a condition or disease itself.

No

Explanation: The device is a guidewire used to introduce and position catheters and devices, facilitate alignment, and function as a measurement tool within the vasculature. Its primary functions are interventional and procedural, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly lists physical components such as a stainless steel corewire, coilwire, marker bands, and PTFE coating, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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 for use in angiographic procedures to introduce and position catheters and interventional devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature. This is an in-vivo (within the living body) application.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a guidewire used in interventional procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to directly interact with structures within the body during a procedure.

Re: K994358 Trade Name: ATW Marker Wire Steerable Guidewire Regulatory Class: II Product Code: DQX December 20, 1999 Dated: Received: December 27, 1999

Dear Mr. Griffin:

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 legally 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 A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance to 895. 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.
