The 185-centimeter version is designed with a proximal extension section that allows connection to the AddWire™ Extension Wire. | {1}------------------------------------------------ | Intended Use of
Device | The IQ™ Guide Wires are intended to facilitate the
placement and exchange of balloon dilatation catheters or
other therapeutic devices during PTCA or PTA or other
intravascular interventional procedures. The IQ™ Guide
Wires are not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature.
The devices are provided non-pyrogenic, sterile, and
intended for one procedure only. | |----------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Technological
Characteristics | The IQ™ Guide Wires utilize similar materials and
methods of construction as the IQ™ Guide Wires
(K040140, February 12, 2004). The IQ™ Marker version
also has marker coils. | | Non-Clinical Test
Summary | Bench, product shelf life, and biocompatibility test results
verified that the IQ™ Guide Wires met all of the specified
requirements and are suitable for their intended use.

The IQ™ Guide Wires are considered substantially
equivalent to guide wires currently marketed by Boston
Scientific based on a comparison of intended use, design
and the results of in vitro testing and evaluation. | {2}------------------------------------------------ ## DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
