Indications for Use
The Medtronic Archer 0.035 inch (0.89 mm) Super Stiff Guidewires are intended to facilitate catheter placement and exchange during diagnostic or interventional procedures in the aorta, where increased support, distal flexibility, and low surface friction of the guidewire is needed.
Device Story
The Archer Super Stiff Guidewire is a PTFE-coated stainless steel guidewire used by clinicians during diagnostic or interventional aortic procedures. It features a flexible tip section and an inner 8cm radiopaque spring to enhance visibility under imaging. Available in 200cm and 260cm lengths with single or double curve tip configurations, the device provides mechanical support for catheter placement and exchange. It is a sterile, single-use, disposable device. By reducing surface friction and providing distal flexibility, the guidewire assists the physician in navigating the vasculature, potentially improving procedural efficiency and patient outcomes during catheter-based interventions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of non-clinical in vitro bench testing and in-vivo pre-clinical animal studies. Bench testing included dimensional verification, tip stiffness, torsional integrity, tip strength, PTFE coating adhesion, and 3-point bend stiffness. Biocompatibility testing was performed per ISO 10993-1, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, systemic toxicity, material-mediated pyrogenicity, hemolysis, complement activation, and thromboresistance. Shelf life testing was also conducted.
Technological Characteristics
PTFE-coated stainless steel corewire with distal spring construction (inner radiopaque spring and outer spring). Nominal 0.035" OD; 200 cm and 260 cm lengths. Single or double curve tip configurations. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing diagnostic or interventional procedures in the aorta requiring catheter placement or exchange where increased support, distal flexibility, and low surface friction are necessary.
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.

### Summary of Technological Characteristics:
All configurations of the Archer Super Stiff Guidewire have the same distal spring construction with an inner radiopaque spring and an outer spring. The springs are attached to the corewire. The Archer Super Stiff Guidewires have a nominal 0.035'' OD and are available in 200 cm and 260 cm lengths with either a single or double curve tip configuration. The entire device is PTFE coated.
The Archer Super Stiff Guidewire has similar materials of construction to the predicate devices. It also has the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices as shown in the table below.
