The TruePath CTO Device is indicated to facilitate the intra-luminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond peripheral artery chronic total occlusions. The device is contraindicated for use in carotid arteries. The TruePath Extension Wire is designed to extend the TruePath CTO Device so that a catheter can be exchanged for another catheter.
Device Story
TruePath CTO Device is a sterile, disposable, steerable 0.018" OD guidewire with an active diamond-coated tip; used with a battery-operated Control Unit. System includes guidewire, Control Unit, shaping tool, and extension wire. During peripheral artery procedures, the Control Unit powers a motor to rotate the guidewire tip at ~13,000 RPMs; mechanical rotation creates a pathway through chronic total occlusions. In passive mode, it functions as a standard guidewire. The device features a 165 cm working length with a hydrophilic coating and radiopaque distal tip. Used by physicians in clinical settings to facilitate guidewire placement, allowing subsequent catheter exchange via the extension wire. Benefits include improved ability to cross challenging arterial occlusions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. In-vitro performance testing included effective length, distal shroud detachment, motor housing detachment, and run life testing under normal and increased resistance conditions. No clinical data was required or provided.
Technological Characteristics
0.018" OD steerable guidewire; diamond-coated active tip; hydrophilic coating; 165 cm working length; radiopaque distal 3 cm. Battery-operated motor unit provides mechanical rotation (~13,000 RPM). System includes shaping tool and extension wire. Sterilized device; disposable components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for facilitating intra-luminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond peripheral artery chronic total occlusions. Contraindicated for use in carotid arteries.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous catheter is a device that is introduced into a vein or artery through the skin using a dilator and a sheath (introducer) or guide wire.

| Device<br>Description | The TruePath CTO Device is a sterile, disposable, steerable, 0.018" OD<br>Guidewire with an Active Tip for penetrating chronic total occlusions and is<br>used with a sterile, disposable battery-operated Control Unit during a single<br>patient procedure. The TruePath CTO system consists of the TruePath<br>CTO Device, Control Unit, Shaping Tool, and the TruePath Extension<br>Wire. | | | |
| | The TruePath CTO Device consists of a distal 0.018"guidewire assembly<br>and a Motor Housing with a Connector Cable to the Control Unit. The<br>TruePath CTO Device has a 165 cm working length with a hydrophilic<br>coating. The distal tip is shapeable and the cone shaped portion is<br>diamond coated. The distal 3 cm of the guidewire is radiopaque. | | | |
| | The Control Unit, when activated, allows current to flow to the motor to turn<br>the driveshaft, located within the stationary hollow outer shaft. The active<br>tip at the most distal end of the guidewire assembly rotates at<br>approximately 13,000 RPMs under no load conditions. In active mode the<br>TruePath guidewire assembly creates a pathway through the lesion via<br>mechanical rotation. In the passive mode the guidewire assembly<br>functions as guidewire. | | | |
| | The shaping tool is an accessory provided with the TruePath CTO Device<br>to shape the tip if desired. The TruePath Extension Wire can be attached<br>to the TruePath guidewire assembly to create an extended guidewire that<br>can be used to exchange a catheter without moving the TruePath CTO<br>Device from the artery. | | | |
| Intended<br>Use/Indications<br>for Use | The TruePath CTO Device is indicated to facilitate the intra-luminal<br>placement of conventional guidewires beyond peripheral artery chronic<br>total occlusions.<br>The device is contraindicated for use in carotid arteries. | | | |
| The TruePath Extension Wire is designed to extend the TruePath CTO<br>Device so that a catheter can be exchanged for another catheter. | | | | |
| Comparison of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics | The TruePath CTO Device incorporates substantially equivalent device<br>materials, device configuration, packaging, fundamental technology,<br>manufacturing processes, sterilization process and intended use as those<br>featured in the Boston Scientific predicate device. | | | |
| Comparison to Predicate Device: | | | | |
| | Characteristic | Proposed compared to Predicate | | |
| | Mechanism of Action | Same Mechanism of Action | | |
| | Components | Same components, configuration, design and function.<br>Two additional components to the motor housing. | | |

| Performance<br>Data | Bench testing was performed to support a determination of substantial<br>equivalence. The results of these tests provide reasonable assurance that<br>the proposed device has been designed and tested to assure conformance<br>to the requirements for its intended use. No new safety or performance<br>issues were raised during the testing and, therefore, these devices may be<br>considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. | | | |

Dear Ms. Tiffany:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
