The ASAHI PTCA Guide Wires are not to be used in the neurovasculature. ## Device Story Steerable guide wire (0.014 inch diameter, 190cm length) used to facilitate balloon dilatation catheter placement during PTCA/PTA procedures; specifically designed for crossing coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO). Constructed from stainless-steel core wire with platinum-nickel and stainless-steel coil assembly; distal portion features hydrophilic coating for lubricity and radiopaque coils for fluoroscopic visibility. Operated by interventional cardiologists in catheterization labs. Physician manually steers wire through vasculature to target lesion; provides track for subsequent balloon catheter delivery. Benefits include improved navigation through complex coronary anatomy and CTOs. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance evaluated per FDA guidance 'Coronary, Peripheral, and Neurovascular Guidewires - Performance Tests and Recommended Labeling' (2018). Tests included tensile strength, torque strength, torqueability, tip flexibility, coating adhesion/integrity, catheter compatibility, corrosion resistance, kink resistance, radio-detectability, and dimensional verification. Biocompatibility and hemocompatibility (hemolysis, complement activation, UPTT, thrombogenicity) were verified. Results demonstrated the device met all acceptance criteria and performed similarly to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Stainless-steel core wire; platinum-nickel and stainless-steel coil assembly (7-wire woven outer coil); hydrophilic coating on distal portion. 0.014 inch diameter; 190cm length. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide to SAL 10^-6. Mechanical steerable guide wire; no electronic components or software. ## 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 - ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire ASAHI Gaia ([K171933](/device/K171933.md)) ## Reference Devices - ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire CONFIANZA PRO 12 ([K052339](/device/K052339.md)) - ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire ASAHI SION blue ([K122468](/device/K122468.md)) - ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire ASAHI Gaia ([K138653](/device/K138653.md)) - ASAHI Neurovascular Guide Wire ASAHI CHIKAI black ([K141751](/device/K141751.md)) - ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire ASAHI Fielder XT-A ([K153106](/device/K153106.md)) - ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire ASAHI SUOH 03 ([K162842](/device/K162842.md)) - ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire ASAHI Gladius Mongo ([K180784](/device/K180784.md)) ## Related Devices - [K211898](/device/K211898.md) — ASAHI PCI Guide Wire ASAHI CONFIANZA PRO 8-20 · Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd. · Dec 8, 2021 - [K063819](/device/K063819.md) — ASAHI PTCA GUIDE WIRE, FIELDER FC · Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd. · Jan 26, 2007 - [K100578](/device/K100578.md) — ASAHI SION PTCA GUIDE WIRE MODEL AHW14R001S & AHW14R301S · Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd. · Sep 22, 2010 - [K122469](/device/K122469.md) — ASAHI PTCA GUIDE WIRE ASAHI SION 180CMJ ASAHI PTCA GUIDE WIRE ASAHI SION 300CMJ · Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd. · Mar 8, 2013 - [K062186](/device/K062186.md) — ASAHI PTCA GUIDE WIRE, FIELDER J, MODEL AGP140000J, AGP140300J · Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd. · Nov 9, 2006 ## Submission Summary (Full Text) {0}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/0/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The ASAHI PTCA Guide Wires are not to be used in the neurovasculature. ### Description: The ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire ASAHI Gaia Next (hereafter "ASAHI Gaia Next") is a steerable guide wire with a maximum diameter of 0.014 inches (0.36mm) and available in 190cm length. The extension wire may be connected to the end of the guide wire outside the body. The guide wire is constructed from a stainless-steel core wire with a platinum-nickel and stainless-steel coils. The coil assembly consists of an inner coil and an outer coil, and the coil assembly is soldered to the core wire. The distal end of the quide wire has a radiopaque outer coil and inner coil to achieve visibility and can be made to bend easily with the vessel curve. A hydrophilic {4}------------------------------------------------ coating is applied to the distal portion of the guide wire. The coil assembly construction is similar to predicate device. ## Comparison with Predicate Device(s): Predicate Device: ASAHI PTCA Guide Wire ASAHI Gaia (K171933) Comparisons of the ASAHI Gaia Next and predicate devices show that the technological characteristics of the ASAHI Gaia Next such as components, design, materials, sterilization Method:, shelf life and operating principle are identical or similar to the currently marketed predicate device. A tabular comparison of the specific technological characteristics between the predicate device and subject device is provided below. The main changes from the predicate ASAHI Gaia are as follows: - Outer Coil Material ● - .

Tensile Strength - . Torque Strength - Torqueability . - Tip Flexibility - Coating Adhesion / Integrity . - Catheter Compatibility ● - . Visual Inspection - . Corrosion Resistance - Kink Resistance - . Radio - detectability - Dimensional Verification ● - Coating Integrity/Particulate ● The in vitro bench tests demonstrated that the ASAHI Gaia Next met all acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate devices. Performance data demonstrate that the device functions as intended and has a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate device. # BIOCOMPATIBILITY: The ASAHI Gaia Next was compared to the predicate devices. Based on similarities of the materials used in the subject device to its predicates / reference devices, the biocompatibility of the ASAHI Gaja Next was verified to be the same as those of the predicates / reference devices. Additional Hemocompatibility testing was conducted due to the change in the coil: - Hemolysis ● - SC5b-9 Complement Activation - Unactivated Partial Thromboplastin Time ● - Thrombogenicity ● ## CONCLUSION: The ASAHI Gaia Next has identical intended use and the same or similar technological characteristics such as components, design, materials, sterilization Method:, shelf life and operating principles as the predicate and reference device. Performance data demonstrates that the device functions as intended. Therefore, the ASAHI Gaia Next is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-b%E2%80%94cardiovascular-diagnostic-devices/DQX/K192599](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-b%E2%80%94cardiovascular-diagnostic-devices/DQX/K192599) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
