Device consists of a tubular body, cap, and internal collet. Operator inserts guidewire through device, positions it at desired location, and rotates cap to secure collet onto wire. Once secured, operator applies manual torsional and axial force to manipulate guidewire distal end within vasculature. Used in clinical settings by physicians. Device facilitates precise guidewire navigation, aiding in successful catheter placement and procedure completion. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only, including design verification (torque/pull slip force, guidewire deformation, collet release) and biocompatibility testing. ## Technological Characteristics Manual mechanical device; three-component assembly (tubular body, cap, collet). Accommodates 0.010-0.018 inch diameter guidewires. Non-powered. Biocompatible materials used. Sterilized. ## 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 - SCIMED® Sideliner™ Torque Device ([K922706](/device/K922706.md)) - Encore 26 Advantage Kit ([K120694](/device/K120694.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Encore 26 Advantage Kit (K120694, 03 April 2012). | | # Device Description: The Torque Device is an accessory device used to apply torsional and/or axial force to the guidewire to manipulate its distal end in the vasculature. It is designed to accommodate guidewires with diameters from 0.010 to 0.018 inches and is composed of three main components: 1.) a tubular collet contained within the body and cap assembly; 2.) a cap and 3.) a tubular body. A guidewire is inserted through the Torque Device from the distal (cap) end. The Torque Device is positioned optimally on the guidewire at the desired location, and then secured by rotation of the cap. Once tightened, the torque device is used to apply torsional and axial force to the guidewire to manipulate its distal end in the vasculature. # Intended Use The Torque Device is used for guidewire manipulation during general intravascular procedures. #### Substantial Equivalence The Torque Device design, materials, manufacturing process and intended use are substantially equivalent to the Sideliner Torque Device (K922706) and Encore 26 Advantage Kit (K120694). ## Summary of Non-Clinical Testing Design verification was performed to verify the performance and usability of the Torque Device remains substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Biocompatibility and sterility testing were also performed to verify the overall substantial equivalence to the predicates. Specifically the following design verification testing was performed: - � Torque Slip Force - � Pull Slip Force - Guidewire Deformation � - � Collet Release - ◆ . Biocompatibility Testing: Latex ### Summary of Clinical Testing Clinical Evaluation was not required for this device.
