This device is not indicated for neuro, or cardiac use ## Device Story The TechDevice Guidewire is a peripheral vascular guidewire used to facilitate catheter and instrument placement/exchange. It consists of a stainless steel core wire with a stainless steel or platinum coil; may include PTFE coating or jacket; platinum marker bands for visualization; and proximal exit markers for depth determination. Used by physicians in clinical settings. The device is a mechanical tool; no electronic or software components. Benefit is improved navigation and positioning of interventional devices within the peripheral vasculature. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Stainless steel core wire; stainless steel or platinum coil; PTFE spray or jacket coating; platinum marker bands. Mechanical device; no energy source, software, or connectivity. ## Regulatory 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 - Guidewire ([K943737](/device/K943737.md)) - Guidewire ([K935997](/device/K935997.md)) - Guidewire ([K933334](/device/K933334.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The coil may cover the entire or just the floppy distal portion. The exposed core wire and or the coil may be uncoated stainless steel or coated with a PTFE spray or a PTFE jacket. Platinum marker bands may be placed under the coil to aid in visualization. Exit markers may be printed on the proximal section of the guidewire to aid the physician in determining the depth of insertion. #### Indications for Use: The TechDevice Guidewire facilitates placement and exchange of catheters and other instruments in the peripheral vasculature. This device is not indicated for neuro, or cardiac use {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Safety and Performance: Substantial equivalence for this device was based on a comparison of labeling, physical and performance design characteristics as compared to the predicate device, as well as on the results of comparative bench testing. Comparative performance testing included: - Tensile Strength A. - Torque Strength B. - ്. Torqueability - Tip Flexibility D. - ட். Coating Integrity ### Conclusion: Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to predicate devices, the TechDevice Guidewire has been shown to be safe and effective for its intended use. 160 {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, USA Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 2006 MAR 8 TechDevice Corporation c/o Mr. Leigh Hayward Director of Technical Operations 650 Pleasant Street Watertown, MA 02472 Re: K053251 TechDevice Guidewire 1 cent20.100 Sula01722 Regulation Name: Catheter Guide Wire Regulatory Class: Class II (Two) Product Code: DQX Dated: February 10, 2006 Received: February 14, 2006 ## Dear Mr. Hayward: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device we nave roved 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 for abound in to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to conninered province may 2011 accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA).
