Device Story
ASAHI Silverway is a catheter guide wire used to facilitate the percutaneous introduction of catheters. The device consists of a one-piece stainless steel core wire and a coil assembly (inner and outer coils) soldered to the core. The distal and proximal sections feature a silicone coating, while the intermediate section features a hydrophilic coating. It is available in a 0.89mm (0.035in) diameter and lengths ranging from 150cm to 300cm. The device is operated by a clinician during interventional or diagnostic procedures to navigate the vasculature. By providing a track for catheter advancement, it assists in reaching desired anatomical locations. The device is provided sterile via ethylene oxide.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included dimensional verification, tensile strength, torque strength, torqueability, tip flexibility, coating adhesion, catheter compatibility, radiopacity (ISO 11070), and corrosion (ISO 11070). Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993, ASTM F756, and ASTM F2382.

Dear Candace Cederman:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

### INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE:
This product is intended for use in the percutaneous introduction of catheters. Not for use in the coronary arteries or intracranial vessels.
### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The ASAHI Silverway consists of a one-piece core wire and a coil assembly that extends the entire length of the device. The coil assembly consists of an inner coil and an outer coil, soldered to the core wire. In addition, coatings are applied on the surface of the ASAHI Silverway. The distal and proximal sections are coated with silicone. The intermediate section is coated with hydrophilic coating. The ASAHI Silverway has a nominal outer diameter of
{4}------------------------------------------------
0.89mm (0.035in) and is available in various lengths from 150cm to 300cm and tip shapes.
## COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICES:
Comparisons of the ASAHI® Silverway® and predicate / reference devices show that the technological characteristics of the subject device such as the components, design, materials, sterilization method, shelf life and operating principle are similar to the currently marketed predicate and reference devices. The ASAHI Silverway and predicate device are constructed with a core wire covered by a coil. The available lengths and tip shapes of the ASAHI Silverway are within the ranges of the predicate and reference devices. Currently, the ASAHI Silverway is available in an 0.035" diameter which is within the range of the sizes available for the predicate and reference devices. The ASAHI Silverway has both a hydrophilic and hydrophobic (silicone) coating, whereas the predicate and reference devices have either a hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating. The intended use of the subject device and its predicates are the same.
