Intended Use

The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire is intended to be used in the peripheral vascular system to facilitate the placement of devices during diagnostic and interventional procedures.

Device Story

The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire is a sterile, single-use device consisting of a jacketed core wire with a hydrophilic coating. It is available in straight and angled configurations in various lengths. The device is used by physicians in clinical settings to navigate the peripheral vascular system and facilitate the placement of diagnostic or interventional devices. The hydrophilic coating reduces friction, aiding in smooth navigation through vasculature. The device is operated manually by the clinician. It does not involve electronic processing, software, or automated decision-making.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Testing included tensile strength, torque strength, torquability, tip flexibility, coating adherence/integrity (using anatomical model), catheter compatibility, surface, fracture test, flex test, size/dimensions, and radiopacity. Results met predetermined acceptance criteria and were comparable to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Jacketed core wire with hydrophilic coating. Available in straight and angled configurations. Sterilized via ethylene oxide (ISO 11135-1). Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993-1. Mechanical testing performed per FDA guidance for Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guide Wires and ISO 11070.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in the peripheral vascular system to facilitate device placement during diagnostic and interventional procedures in patients requiring such vascular access.

Regulatory Classification

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

• Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire (K120644)
• Radiofocus® Glidewire® (K863138)
• Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire (K130588)

| Intended Use | The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire is intended to be used in the peripheral<br>vascular system to facilitate the placement of devices during diagnostic<br>and interventional procedures. |
| Device<br>Description | The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire consists of a jacketed core wire with a<br>hydrophilic coating applied to the jacket. The wire will be offered in<br>straight and angled configurations in various lengths. |
| Comparison<br>to Predicate | Technological characteristics of the subject Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire<br>are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate, the Merit<br>Hydrophilic Guide Wire [K120644]. The difference between the devices<br>relates to the guide wire diameter size. The guide wire design remains<br>unchanged. Predicate device #2 [K863138] Terumo Radiofocus®<br>Glidewire® is the predicate for performance testing parameters.<br>Predicate device #3 [K130588] includes clarification of the Intended use<br>statement. |

| Safety &<br>Performance<br>Tests | No performance standards have been established under section 514 of<br>the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for these devices. A battery of testing<br>was conducted in accordance with protocols based on requirements<br>outlined in guidance's and industry standards and these were shown to<br>meet the acceptance criteria that were determined to demonstrate<br>substantial equivalence.<br><br>Where appropriate, the tests were based on the requirements of the<br>following documents:<br>FDA guidance Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guide Wire<br>Guidance January 1995. ISO 11070: 1998, Sterile Single-Use Intravascular Catheter<br>Introducers. ISO 11135-1: 2007 Sterilization of health care products-Ethylene<br>oxide- Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation and<br>routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. ASTM F1980-07 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile<br>Barrier Systems for Medical Devices ISO 10993-1: 2009, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part<br>1: Evaluation and Testing within a risk management process, and<br>the FDA Modified ISO 10993 Test Profile FDA Memo G95-1. The Merit Hydrophilic Guide Wire was compared to the predicate<br>device(s) for various performance attributes that support substantial<br>equivalence of the device. The difference in wire diameter between the<br>modified device and the cleared device [K120644] has raised no new<br>issues. Performance testing was based on Predicate device # 2<br>[K863138] Terumo Radiofocus® Glidewire®.<br><br>The following is a list of all significant testing that was successfully<br>completed:<br>Tensile Strength, Torque Strength, Torquability, Tip Flexibility, Coating<br>Adherence/Integrity (including Evaluation using Anatomical Model),<br>Catheter Compatibility (Durability), Surface, Fracture Test, Flex test, Size<br>Designation/ Dimensions and Radiopacity.<br>As all test results were comparable to the predicate devices and the<br>subject Merit Hydrophilic guide wire met the predeterminded acceptance<br>criteria applicable to the safety and efficacy of the device,this has<br>demonstrated the subject device is substantially equivalent to predicate<br>devices. |

Dear Ms. Martha Folan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced 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 commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or 10 devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
