Intended Use

THE NEOMETRICS VASCUPUNCTURE ACCESS WIRE IS IN DICATED FOR PERCUTANEOUS VASCULAR ENTRY USING THE SELDINGER TECHNIQUE,

Device Story

Vascupuncture Access Wire is a catheter guidewire used for percutaneous vascular entry via the Seldinger technique. The device features a 0.0175" diameter and is available in lengths of 45-120 cm. It incorporates gradual diameter changes in the distal section to facilitate insertion and ensure compatibility with various introducers and catheters. Different distal tapers provide varying levels of tip flexibility. The device is intended for use by clinicians in a vascular access setting.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing and biocompatibility testing only; no clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Catheter guidewire; 0.0175" diameter; 45-120 cm length; distal taper design for flexibility; mechanical device; no software or energy source.

Indications for Use

Indicated for percutaneous vascular entry using the Seldinger technique in patients requiring vascular access.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A catheter guide wire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a torque device that is manually operated, non-patient contacting, and intended to manipulate non-cerebral vascular guide wires, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

Dear Mr. Champeau:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898.
