Intended Use

The FMD Peripheral Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the placement and exchange of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures. This device is intended for peripheral vascular use only. The FMD Guide Wire Extension accessory is intended for extension of the working length of an already introduced guide wire when exchanging over-the-wire interventional devices during an angioplasty procedure.

Device Story

FMD Peripheral Guide Wires (F-14, F-18) and F-14 EXT extension accessory facilitate placement/exchange of interventional peripheral devices (e.g., balloon catheters, stents). Wires feature stainless-steel core, distal platinum-nickel coil for fluoroscopic visualization, proximal PTFE coating, and distal hydrophilic coating. Extension accessory (stainless-steel core, PTFE coated) attaches to guide wire to increase working length during over-the-wire system exchanges, allowing catheter replacement without removing the guide wire from the artery. Used in clinical/interventional settings by physicians. Benefits include maintained wire position during device exchange, reducing procedural complexity and time.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing including dimensional verification, tensile strength, torque strength, lubricity, kink resistance, tip flexibility, radiopacity, and biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, complement activation, and thrombogenicity).

Technological Characteristics

Stainless-steel core wire; distal platinum-nickel coil assembly; proximal PTFE coating; distal hydrophilic coating. Nominal diameters 0.014" and 0.018"; lengths 190-300cm. Extension accessory 0.014" OD, 165cm length. Sterilization via Ethylene Oxide. Mechanical device; no software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing peripheral vascular intravascular procedures requiring placement or exchange of diagnostic/therapeutic devices, and for patients undergoing angioplasty procedures requiring guide wire extension to facilitate device exchange.

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.

The logo consists of a stylized blue and yellow emblem on the left, followed by the text "Future Medical Design" in a simple, sans-serif font. The word "Future" is in a lighter blue, while "Medical Design" is in a darker blue. The indications for use of the FMD Guide Wire Extension F-14 EXT: The FMD Guide Wire Extension F-14 EXT accessory is intended for extension of the working length of an already introduced guide wire when exchanging over-the-wire interventional devices during an angioplasty procedure. ## DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The FMD Peripheral Guide Wires F-14 and F-18 are designed to facilitate the placement of interventional peripheral devices such as dilating balloon catheters, stent delivery systems and other peripheral artery diagnostic or therapeutic devices. The guide wires are available in nominal diameters of 0.014 (F-14) and 0.018 (F-18) inches and nominal lengths from 190cm to 300cm. The F-14 and F-18 guide wires with a length of less than 300 cm are compatible exclusively with the FMD Guide Wire Extension F-14 EXT, which can extend the guide wire length allowing for exchange of Over-The-Wire systems. The guide wires are composed of a stainless-steel core wire and a stainless steel and platinum nickel coil assembly on the distal end of the device. The coil assembly is soldered to the core. The Pt-Ni radiopaque coil allows for visualization while using fluoroscopy. The proximal portion is coated with PTFE. The distal section is coated with hydrophilic coating. All wires are available in a straight tip configuration. The FMD Guide Wire Extension F-14 EXT is composed of a stainless steel core wire coated with PTFE. It has an outer diameter of 0.014" (0.36 mm) and a length of 165cm. Its distal end contains a connecting hypotube that is compatible with guide wires less than 300cm of both the F-14 and F-18 series. Attachment of the FMD Guide Wire Extension F-14 EXT to FMD's extendable guide wire creates an extended guide wire that can be used to exchange out a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) catheter without removing the original guide wire from the artery. When the exchange is complete, the FMD Guide Wire Extension F-14 EXT can be detached, and the original guide wire can be used in a conventional manner. {5}------------------------------------------------ FMD Peripheral Guide Wires F-14 and F-18, FMD Guide Wire Extension F-14 EXT Image /page/5/Picture/2 description: The image shows a logo with the letters 'FT' in a stylized design.
