This guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary arteries or neurovasculature. ## Device Story Endologix Guidewire is a vascular guidewire used to facilitate catheter placement and exchange in peripheral vasculature. Device consists of stainless steel core wire with platinum coil; coil may cover entire core or distal portion only. Surfaces may be uncoated or coated with PTFE spray or jacket. Platinum Tungsten marker bands may be included for visualization. Device is used by clinicians in clinical settings. Performance is verified through bench testing of tensile strength, torque strength, torqueability, tip flexibility, coating integrity, and corrosion resistance. Changes from predicate include vacuum heat annealing process and alternative labeling. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Comparative performance testing included tensile strength, torque strength, torqueability, tip flexibility, coating integrity, and corrosion testing. ## Technological Characteristics Stainless steel core wire; platinum coil; optional PTFE spray or jacket coating; Platinum Tungsten marker bands. Vacuum heat annealing process. Dimensions/form factor not specified. No software or energy source. ## 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 ([K053251](/device/K053251.md)) - Guidewire ([K053028](/device/K053028.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The coil may cover the entire core wire 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 Tungsten marker bands may be placed under the coil to aid in visualization. ### Indications for Use: The Guidewire facilitates placement and exchange of catheters and other instruments in the peripheral vasculature. This guidewire is not intended for use in the coronary arteries or neurovasculature. ## 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. - C. Torqueability - . Tip Flexibility D. - ய் Coating Integrity - Corrosion Testing F. {1}------------------------------------------------ 510(k) Premarket Notification (Special) Vascular Guidewire TechDevice Corporation January 19, 2011 # Substantial Equivalence The proposed guidewires are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed guidewires which were cleared for marketing by FDA under K053251 and K053258. Substantial equivalence for the proposed devices is based on a companson of materials, dimensional specifications, design characteristics, labeling and indications for use. The two guidewires are of the exact same design and the only changes are the heat annealing process going from ambient air to vacuum and alternative labeling (i.e. naming) requested for the two wires. Physical testing has been conducted to confirm the proposed products performance characteristics. ## Conclusion: . . Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to predicate devices, the Guidewires have been shown to be safe and effective for its intended use. {2}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
