Intended Use

The QuikTork guide wire torque device is intended to facilitate guide wire manipulation during interventional procedures.

Device Story

QuikTork is a manual, non-body-contacting torque device used to facilitate guide wire manipulation during interventional procedures. The device is operated by a clinician; it is loaded by depressing a lever to align internal lumens, inserting the proximal end of the guide wire, and releasing the lever to grip the wire. This allows for single-handed rotation and positioning of the guide wire. Once the wire is placed, the device is removed. It is constructed from molded polyoxymethylene and is color-coded by guide wire diameter compatibility (yellow for 0.010-0.020 inches; orange for 0.025-0.040 inches). The device provides an ergonomic grip, simplifying the manual torque application required for navigating guide wires through vasculature.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data included comparative testing for tensile strength and torque capability against the Terumo Radifocus Torque Device. Additionally, ship testing, real-time aging, and accelerated aging studies were conducted comparing the QuikTork to the Alligatork predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Material: molded polyoxymethylene. Dimensions: color-coded for guide wire diameters 0.010-0.020 inches (yellow) and 0.025-0.040 inches (orange). Mechanism: lever-actuated lumen alignment and friction grip. Operation: manual, single-handed. Non-body contacting.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by clinicians to facilitate guide wire manipulation during interventional procedures. No specific patient population, age, or gender restrictions are defined.

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.

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The QuikTork torque device is designed and intended to be used for the manipulation and placement of guide wires used during interventional procedures. The QuikTork device is not body contacting as the device is used by threading the guide wire end, which is outside the body, through the device lumen to provide an easier grip for manipulation of the guide wire. Once the guide wire is positioned, the QuikTork is removed. The device consists of one piece of molded polyoxymethylene, and is yellow or orange depending on the diameter of the guide wire that will be used with the device. The yellow device supports guide wire diameters 0.010 to 0.020 inches, and the orange device supports guide wire diameters 0.025 to 0.040 inches.

## INTENDED USE:

The QuikTork guide wire torque device is intended to facilitate guide wire manipulation during interventional procedures.

# TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

The QuikTork guide wire torque device design supports single-handed operation once the guide wire is loaded into the lumen. The lever portion of the QuikTork is depressed to align the lumens, and the guide wire end is inserted through the lumens. With the lever depressed, the QuikTork is moved to the desired position on the guide wire. When the

{5}------------------------------------------------

lever is released, the QuikTork grips the guide wire and facilitates single-handed guide wire manipulation.

# PERFORMANCE DATA

Comparison testing for tensile strength and torque capability was performed on the NeedleTech QuikTork device and the predicate Terumo Radifocus Torque Device. Ship testing, real time aging, and accelerated aging was performed on the QuikTork and predicate Alligatork device.

# SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Both the QuikTork guide wire torque device and Alligatork Torque Device guide wire devices consist of one piece of molded polyoxymethylene. The QuikTork device and predicate Alligatork device are identical in device design, function, and constituent material. Both devices have the same indications for use and are able to accommodate guide wires of the same size ranges.

The QuiltTork guide wire torque device and predicate Terumo Radifocus Torque Device have the same function and indications for use. For the Terumo Radifocus Torque Device, a threaded polycarbonate cap (nut) is rotated to open a brass collet on a molded polypropylene body through which the guide wire is inserted. The cap is tightened and the device grips the guide wire.

NeedleTech believes that the similarity in function and indications for use of the predicate devices demonstrates that the QuikTork device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and is safe for use.
