Features a preformed 540° curved distal tip (30 mm width) designed to anchor the distal spring tip during cardiac procedures. Used by physicians in clinical settings to facilitate catheter placement during diagnostic and interventional procedures, specifically TAVI. Device provides mechanical support and positioning for catheters within heart chambers. Benefits include improved stability and anchoring during complex cardiac interventions. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Evaluations included visual inspection, dimensional verification, mechanical performance (tip tensile, stiffness, loop compression, torque, flexibility), PTFE coating adhesion/simulated use, corrosion resistance, and anchoring. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous, pyrogenicity, acute systemic toxicity, thromboresistance, hemolysis, complement activation). Sterilization validated to SAL 10^-6. ## Technological Characteristics 304 stainless steel core; PTFE coating. 0.035-inch diameter; 260 cm length. Distal end features preformed 540° curved tip. Mechanical device; no energy source or software. Sterilized to SAL 10^-6. ## 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 - Medtronic Archer TM Super Stiff Guidewire ([K101339](/device/K101339.md)) - Toray TORAYGUIDE™ Guidewire ([K042370](/device/K042370.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
