Intended Use

The Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewires are intended for use in angiographic and interventional devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature.

Device Story

The Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire is a .014" diameter steerable guidewire used to support the advancement of interventional devices in coronary and peripheral vasculature. The device features a handle mechanism that allows the clinician to manually deflect the distal tip in two directions, aiding in precise positioning. The handle grips an inner moveable core, which is connected to a nitinol inner core wire; the distal end of this wire is flattened and looped. The device is constructed with a stainless steel hypotube soldered to a nitinol hypotube. It is intended for use by clinicians in clinical settings. The device provides mechanical support and steerability, facilitating navigation through complex vascular anatomy.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing included joint strength, torqueability, coating integrity, linear stiffness, and turns to failure. Additional testing was performed on the handle mechanism. All tests met established acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Diameter: .014". Materials: Stainless steel hypotube, nitinol hypotube, nitinol inner core wire. Mechanism: Handle-actuated distal tip deflection (two directions). Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: None (mechanical device).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in coronary and peripheral vasculature to support the advancement of angiographic and interventional devices.

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.

# SPONSOR

Cordis Corporation 14201 NW 60th Avenue Miami Lakes, Florida 33014

#### CLASSIFICATION

Catheter guidewires have been placed in Class II, 21 CFR 870.1330, Cathether Guide Wire.

# NAME OF PREDICATE DEVICES

- Cordis Wizdom Steerable Guidewire (K953760) .
- USCI PilotWire™ Deflectable Guide Wire with Commander™ Deflection . Handle (K934474)
- Lake Region Manufacturing, Inc. Mandrel Guidewire (K011084) .
- Lake Region Manufacturing, Inc. Steerable PTCA Guidewire (K011968) .
- ACS High Torque Standard (K881787) .
- Cordis ATW Marker Wire (K994358) .

### PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Performance standards have not been established by the FDA under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

#### INTENDED USE OF THE DEVICE

The intended use of the Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire is the same as the Cordis Wizdom Steerable Guidewire previously cleared by FDA.

## BIOCOMPATIBILITY

All materials were determined to be biocompatible.

# SUMMARY STATEMENT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire is substantially equivalent to the following steerable guidewires:

- Cordis Wizdom Steerable Guidewire (K953760) �
- USCI PilotWire™ Deflectable Guide Wire with Commander™ Deflection . Handle (K934474)
- Lake Region Manufacturing, Inc. Mandrel Guidewire (K011084) .
- Lake Region Manufacturing, Inc. Steerable PTCA Guidewire (K011968) ●
- ACS High Torque Standard (K881787) .
- Cordis ATW Marker Wire (K994358) .

They are all .014" diameter guidewires used to support the advancement of I hey a the coronary and peripheral vasculature. Both the indications and contraindications are the same as previous steerable guidewires cleared by FDA.

#### DESIGN/MATERIALS

The Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire is similar in design and materials to the Cordis Wizdom Steerable Guidewire, Lake Region Manufacturing, Inc. Mandrel Guidewire, and the Lake Region Manufacturing, Inc. Steerable PTCA Guidewire. The difference is that the STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire employs a handle mechanism, which deflects the distal tip in two directions. The handle mechanism is butted into a stainless steel hypotube, which is soldered to a nitinol hypotube. The handle mechanism is similar to the USCI Commander™ Deflection Handle, an accessory of the USCI PilotWire™ Deflectable Guide Wire. The distal end of the STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire (3mm or 7mm) of the nitinol inner core wire is flattened, looped around and joined to the nitinol hypotube. The handle mechanism operates the movement of the distal tip by gripping the inner moveable core and allowing limited movement in two directions. (See Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2, Pages 5-7 for detailed comparison of design/material differences).

#### MANUFACTURING

The manufacturing processes are similar to Cordis steerable guidewires and to Lake Region guidewires cleared by FDA. Component joining methods, core grinding, coil winding, etc are the same or similar processes to predicate devices. The differences in the processes are primarily related to the handle mechanism and attachment.

{2}------------------------------------------------

# SPECIFICATIONS AND TESTING

Specifications to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device are similar to the specifications for the Cordis Wizdom Steerable Guidewire. Joint strength, torqueability, coating integrity, linear stiffness, turns to failure and dimensional testing have all been completed on the Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire. Additional testing, specific to the handle mechanism has been completed. The Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire passed all the established acceptance criteria.

#### CONCLUSION

This 510(k) submission represents an addition to the current Cordis steerable guidewire line. Both the Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire and the Cordis Wizdom Steerable Guidewire are .014" diameter guidewires used to support the advancement of devices in the coronary and peripheral vasculature. The Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire incorporates a handle mechanism, which deflects the distal tip in two directions to aid the clinician in positioning the guidewire. This aspect of the device is similar in function to the USCI Commander™ Deflection Handle, an accessory of the USCI PilotWire™ Deflectable Guide Wire. Biocompatibility and in vitro testing demonstrates no significant change to product characterization when compared to the predicate device. Product design and indications for use for the Cordis STEER-IT Deflecting Tip Guidewire are substantially equivalent' to the predicate device as cleared by FDA.

A statement regarding substantial equivalence to another product is required by 21 CFR 807.87 and relates only to whether the present product can be marketed without prior reclassification or premarket approval. The present submission is therefore not related tot he coverage of any patent, and is not to be interpreted as an admission or used as evidence in a patent infringement lawsuit. As the Commissioner of the FDA has stated, " .. a determination of substantial equivalence under the federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act relates to the fact that the product can lawfully be marketed without premarket approval or reclassification. This determination is not intended to have any bearing whatever on the resolution of patent infringement suits." 42 Fed. Reg. 45.520, et seg. (1977).
