Intended Use

Intended to facilitate the delivery of catheter-based interventional devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This guide wire may be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures. The guide wire may be used to reach and cross a target lesion, provide a pathway within the vessel structure, facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another, and to distinguish the vasculature.

Device Story

Hi-Torque Vektor is a 0.014" steerable guidewire used by interventional cardiologists/radiologists to navigate coronary and peripheral vasculature. Device features stainless steel core, shapeable distal tip, and hydrophilic coating (hyaluronic acid) for lubricity. Proximal end allows attachment of DOC Guide Wire Extension for device exchange. Brachial/femoral markers aid positioning. Operated manually; physician pushes, rotates, and pulls wire to steer through vessels. Facilitates delivery of interventional devices (e.g., stents, balloon catheters) to target lesions. Benefits include improved trackability and device exchange capability while maintaining access.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evaluations included tensile strength, torque strength/response, dimensional measurement, catheter compatibility, coating adherence/integrity, lubricity/durability, particulate testing, tip flexibility/stiffness, radiopacity, corrosion resistance, and flex resistance. Results met all product specifications and demonstrated performance comparable to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

0.014" diameter steerable guidewire; stainless steel core; platinum/tungsten alloy radiopaque coil; polyurethane jacket; PTFE shaft coating; hydrophilic hyaluronic acid distal coating. Supplied sterile (ETO). Manual operation. Compatible with DOC extension system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults over 16 with cardiac or peripheral vascular disease (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, CHF, previous MI) requiring PTCA or PTA procedures. Contraindicated for use in cerebral vasculature or with atherectomy 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.

Product Trade Name: "Hi-Torque Vektor Guidewire Family" Common/ Usual Name: "Hi-Torque Vektor" Panel: Cardiovascular Class II, 21 CFR 870.1330. Product Code: DQX. Classification Name (per Product Classification): "Catheter guide wire" #### 3. Predicate Device: Manufacturer : Abbott Vascular Inc.

Ltd. | |----------------|-------------------------------------| | Device Name : | Asahi Fielder XT Guidewire | | 510(k) No : | K171933, Class 2, Product Code DQX. | | | Classified per 21 CFR 870.1330 | - 4. Description of Device: The Hi-Torque Vektor Guide Wire is a 0.014" (0.36 mm) diameter steerable guide wire available in several lengths and has a shapeable distal tip. Refer to the product label for product specifications (e.g. wire length, diameter and length of tip radiopacity). The Hi-Torque Vektor Guide Wires have a modified proximal end that permits the attachment of the DOC Guide Wire Extension. Refer to the product label for Guide Wire Extension system compatibility. Joining the guide wire extension to the guide wire facilitates the exchange of one interventional device for another, while maintaining guide wire position in the anatomy. After the interventional device exchange has been completed, the extension can be detached and the guide wire can be used in its original capacity. Brachial and femoral markers located on the proximal segment of the 0.014" (0.36 mm) Hi-Torque Vektor guide wire aid in gauging guide wire position relative to the guiding catheter {2}------------------------------------------------ tip when using bare wire technique. These Hi-Torque Vektor guide wires are compatible with guiding catheters that are at least 90 cm (brachial) or 100 cm (femoral) long. When wet, a hydrophilic coating increases the lubricity of the Hi-Torque Vektor guide wire surface. This coating contains highly purified hyaluronic acid (HA). Principles of Operation: The Hi-Torque Vektor guidewire is operated manually by a manual process. - 5. Indications for Use Intended to facilitate the delivery of catheter-based interventional devices during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This guide wire may be used with compatible stent devices during therapeutic procedures. The guide wire may be used to reach and cross a target lesion, provide a pathway within the vessel structure, facilitate the substitution of one diagnostic or interventional device for another, and to distinguish the vasculature. - 6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics The technological characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate device. These performance properties include: - -Similar length range provided - -Same diameter (0.014") - -All devices are constructed with a stainless steel core - -The proposed 4 models have equivalent tip stiffness characteristics to the predicate devices. - -All devices have a hydrophilic coating at the distal tip - All devices have a PTFE coating on the guidewire shaft - - -All devices are sterilized using ETO gas - 7. Performance Testing (non-clinical) In vitro bench tests were carried out to demonstrate equivalence with reference to the FDAs guidance document "Coronary and Cerebrovascular Guidewire Guidance, Jan 1995". The following bench tests were performed: - -Tensile Strength - -Torque Strength - -Dimensional measurement - -Torque Response - -Catheter Compatibility - -Coating Adherence/Coating Integrity - Coating Lubricity and Durability - - -Particulate Testing - -Tip Flexibility/Stiffness - -Radiopacity {3}------------------------------------------------ - Corrosion Res । - -Flex Resistance Test - Guidewire Pull test - The results from these performance evaluations demonstrated that the Hi-Torque Vektor Guidewire range met the acceptance criteria defined in the product specification and performed comparably to the predicate device(s). Biological compatibility of the device has been established through biocompatibility testing carried out in compliance with ISO 10993-1.
