Intended Use

The Streamer Polymer guide wires are intended for use in the coronary and peripheral vasculature to facilitate the selective placement of interventional catheters with compatible guidewire lumen and Biotronik coronary venous leads.

Device Story

Streamer Polymer Guidewire is a single-use, disposable device for coronary and peripheral vascular procedures. It consists of a 195cm, 0.014" diameter stainless steel core wire, PTFE-coated, with a centreless-ground tapered distal end. Distal section features a platinum-tungsten spring coil for radiopacity and a blue heat-shrink polymer jacket for smooth lead-guidewire interaction. Available in three support levels (standard, extra support, extra distal support) and eight versions (straight/J-tip configurations). Used by physicians in clinical settings to navigate interventional catheters and Biotronik coronary venous leads through the vasculature. Device provides mechanical support and guidance; radiopacity allows visualization under X-ray to assist physician navigation. Benefits include facilitated catheter placement and improved lead-guidewire interaction.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included tensile strength, torque strength, torque response, coating performance, radiopacity, tip flexibility, catheter compatibility, accelerated aging, transportation testing, sterilization validation, and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-4). Results confirmed the device performs within design parameters and is equivalent to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: PTFE-coated stainless steel core, platinum-tungsten spring coil, heat-shrink polymer jacket. Dimensions: 195cm length, 0.014" diameter. Principle: Mechanical guidewire for catheter navigation. Sterilization: Validated method. Biocompatibility: Compliant with ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-4.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in coronary and peripheral vasculature to facilitate selective placement of interventional catheters with compatible guidewire lumen and Biotronik coronary venous leads.

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

• Brivant Guidewire (K060551)
• Whisper EDS Guidewire (K030019)

(3) Device Name and Classification: Trade Name: Common Name: . Classification Name: Device Classification:

Biotronik Streamer Polymer Guidewire Guidewire Catheter, Guidewire Class II, 21 CFR §870.1330

#### (4) Summary of Substantial Equivalence

Predicate devices: Brivant Guidewire (K060551) and Whisper EDS Guidewire (K030019)

The Streamer Polymer Guidewires have minor design differences from the predicate Brivant guidewire and Whisper EDS Guidewire.

The Streamer Polymer guide wires are intended for use in the coronary and peripheral vasculature to facilitate the selective placement of interventional catheters with compatible guidewire lumen and Biotronik coronary venous leads. The intended use is similar to that of the Whisper EDS and the Brivant guidewire with features of the Streamer intended use incorporated into both predicates.

The techological characteristics of the Streamer Guidewire and the predicate guidewires are closely similar. Where there are differences these differences are minor such that they do not affect safety or effectiveness. Brivant have conducted testing which compares the techical similarities between the Streamer Guidewire and predicate devices and this data demonstrates that the minor technical differences have not diminished safety or effectiveness

Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image shows the text "BRIVANT" in large, bold letters, with a line underneath. Below that, in smaller letters, is the text "MEDICAL ENGINEERING". The text is black and the background is white.

As a result the Streamer Polymer Guidewire is substantially equivalent to the Brivant Guidewire predicate.

### (5) Description of the Device:

The Biotronik Streamer polymer guide wire is a disposable medical device designed for single use only. It consists of a PTFE coated 195cm 0.014" diameter stainless steel core wire, one end of which is reduced in diameter over a 38cm segment in a progressive fashion through a centreless grinding operation. The profile of this reduced section affords the product a reduced area of stiffness and is varied to produce 3 unique levels of support, standard support, extra support (ES) and extra distal support (XT). There are a total of 8 versions of the guidewire, 2 standard support versions (straight & J), 4 extra support versions (straight and ), Bulach and Berlin) and 2 extra distal support versions (straight & J}.

The distal part of the reduced section is covered with a platinum tungsten spring coil of equivalent diameter to the main core body. This provides greater visibility on x-ray equipment. A 30cm length of blue heat shrink polymer tubing is applied over the tapered distal end of the wire and ground to form a constant outer diameter, OD. The polymer jacket over distal coils provides for smoother lead-guidewire interaction.

#### {6) Statement of Intended Use:

The Streamer Polymer guide wires are intended for use in the coronary and peripheral vasculature to facilitate the selective placement of interventional catheters with compatible guidewire lumen and Biotronik coronary venous leads.

#### (7) Technological Characteristics.

Comparisons of the proposed and predicate devices show that the technological characteristics such as materials, performance characteristics, sterilization and packaging are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed devices.

#### (8) Summary of Testing:

Performance testing involving the following testing has been completed; tensile strength, torque strength, torque response, coating performance, radiopacity, tip flexibility, catheter compatibility testing, accelerated aging, transportation testing, sterilisation validation adoption, and biocompatibility testing in compliance with ISO 10993-1 and ISO10993-4 has been successfully completed.

The successful tests demonstrated the Streamer Polymer Guidewires consistently performed within their design parameters, are safe and effective and perform as well as the predicate devices.
