The in vitro bench tests demonstrated that the ASAHI® Peripheral Vascular Guide Wire ASAHI Meister® 16 met all acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate devices. Performance data demonstrate that the device functions as intended, and has a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate devices.
#### BIOCOMPATIBILITY:
The ASAHI® Peripheral Vascular Guide Wire ASAHI Meister® 16 was compared to the predicate devices. Based on similarities of the materials used in the subject device to its predicates/reference devices, the biocompatibility of the ASAHI® Peripheral Vascular Guide Wire ASAHI Meister® 16 was leveraged from predicates/reference devices for all endpoints other than complement activation.
#### CONCLUSION:
The ASAHI® Peripheral Vascular Guide Wire ASAHI Meister® 16 has identical intended use and the same or similar technological characteristics such as components, design, materials, sterilization method, shelf life and operating principles as the predicate and reference devices. Performance data demonstrates that the device functions as intended.
Therefore, the ASAHI® Peripheral Vascular Guide Wire ASAHI Meister® 16 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
