Intended Use

The PT2TM Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilatation catheters or other therapeutic devices during PTCA, PTA, or other intravascular interventional procedures. The PT2TM Guide Wires are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature. The AddWireTM Extension Wire creates an extended guide wire that can be used to exchange out a therapeutic device without removing the original guide wire from the anatomy. When the exchange is complete, the Extension Wire can be detached and the original guide wire can be used in a conventional manner.

Device Story

PT2 Guide Wire: steerable, polymer-tipped wire; 0.014-inch diameter; Light/Moderate support models; 185/300 cm lengths; radiopaque distal tip (straight or J-tip). Construction: PTFE-coated stainless steel core coupled to tapered Nitinol core; stainless steel coupler; distal stainless steel ribbon; Tungsten-loaded polyurethane sleeve; ICE hydrophilic coating. AddWire Extension Wire: 145 cm length; 0.014-inch diameter; PTFE-coated stainless steel wire with distal connector. Used in clinical interventional settings (PTCA/PTA) by physicians to navigate vasculature and exchange therapeutic devices without removing the primary guide wire. Benefits include procedural efficiency during catheter exchanges. Non-clinical bench testing confirms mechanical integrity and compatibility.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evaluations included tensile strength, combined load, coupler fatigue, torque response, tip prolapse, coating adherence, polymer peel, PTCA catheter compatibility, and biocompatibility. Results verified device meets all minimum requirements.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: PTFE-coated stainless steel, Nitinol, Tungsten-loaded polyurethane, stainless steel coupler. Design: 0.014-inch diameter, steerable, hydrophilic coating. Extendable proximal section on 185-cm models. Sterilized, single-use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for facilitating placement/exchange of balloon dilatation catheters or therapeutic devices during PTCA, PTA, or intravascular interventional procedures. Contraindicated for use in cerebral vasculature.

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.
