Intended Use

Intended to facilitate the placement of balloon dilation catheters during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), in peripheral arteries including but not limited to femoral, popliteal arteries. This guide wire may also be used with compatible interventional devices during therapeutic procedures. The guide wire may also be used to reach and cross a target lesion, provide a pathway within the vessel structure, facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another, and to distinguish the vasculature.

Device Story

Heraeus Peripheral Guidewire is a manually operated device used to facilitate placement of balloon dilation catheters and other interventional devices in peripheral arteries. It consists of a steel core with an optional nitinol alloy tip, encapsulated by polymer and a lubricious outer layer. The distal section features radiopaque loading and a hydrophilic coating. Operated by physicians in clinical settings, the guidewire is inserted into the vasculature through a guiding catheter and advanced to a target lesion. It provides a pathway for device exchange and helps distinguish vasculature. By enabling navigation to and crossing of target lesions, the device assists in therapeutic procedures, potentially improving patient outcomes in peripheral vascular interventions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing included biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1:2018), corrosion resistance, dimensional inspection, sterile package integrity, tensile strength, tip flexibility, torque strength, torqueability, kink/fracture resistance, radiopacity, coating integrity/lubricity, track/simulated use, and particulate evaluation. All predetermined acceptance criteria were met.

Technological Characteristics

Steel core with optional nitinol alloy tip; encapsulated by polymer with lubricious outer layer. Distal section includes radiopaque loading and hydrophilic coating. Manual operation. Sterilization method equivalent to predicate.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in peripheral arteries, including femoral, popliteal, and infra-popliteal arteries. Contraindicated for use in coronary or cerebral vasculature.

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.

Predicate Devices

• Abbott Hi-Torque Command guidewire (K122573)

Dear Chelsea Pioske:

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).
