Intended Use

The HYDROCORE™ Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures.

Device Story

HYDROCORE™ Guide Wire is a 150 cm intravascular guide wire; available in 0.025", 0.032", 0.035", and 0.038" diameters; shaft stiffness variations include soft, standard, and extra stiff; straight and angled tip configurations. Device consists of a stainless steel core wire encased in urethane resin with a hydrophilic coating; urethane casing provides radiopacity. Used by physicians during intravascular procedures to facilitate placement of diagnostic and therapeutic devices. Device provides mechanical support and navigation through the vasculature; radiopaque properties allow visualization under fluoroscopy to assist clinician in positioning. Benefits include improved trackability and device delivery during interventional procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Tests included tensile strength, torque strength, tip flexibility, torqueability, and coating adhesion/integrity. Results demonstrated the device met all acceptance criteria and performed equivalently to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Stainless steel core wire; urethane resin casing with radiopaque properties; hydrophilic coating. Length: 150 cm. Diameters: 0.025", 0.032", 0.035", 0.038". Stiffness: soft, standard, extra stiff. Tip configurations: straight, angled. Mechanical device; no energy source or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for facilitating the placement of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures in patients requiring such interventions.

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

• ACS HI-TORQUE WHOLEY SUPRA CORE™ Guide Wire
• Terumo® Radifocus® Glidewire® Guide Wire

- 4. Device Description:
The HYDROCORE™ Guide Wire is a 150 cm length guide wire is available in nominal diameters of 0.025", 0.032", 0.035" and 0.038″, with shaft stiffness variations of: soft, standard, and extra stiff. The wires come in straight and angled tip configurations. The wire is constructed from a stainless steel core wire that is encased in a urethane resin and surfaced with a hydrophilic coating. The urethane casing contains radiopaque properties.

- న. Intended Use:
The HYDROCORE™ Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement of diagnostic and therapeutic devices during intravascular procedures.

- Q. Technological Characteristics:
Comparisons of the new and predicate devices show that the technological characteristics such as design, materials, functional performance properties, sterilization and packaging are identical or substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices.

{1}------------------------------------------------

- 7. Performance Data:
Bench testing was performed to demonstrate that the HYDROCORE™ Guide Wire met the acceptance criteria of the product specifications and performed similar to that of the predicate. The following bench tests were performed: tensile strength test, torque strength test, tip flexibility, torqueability and coating adhesion and integrity test.

The results from the bench tests showed that the new HYDROCORE™ Guide Wire met the acceptance criteria and performed in a manner equivalent the predicate device. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing program.

- 8. Conclusions:
The new guide wire has a similar intended use, and has the same technological characteristics, performance properties, identical sterilization and packaging as those of the predicate devices. Furthermore, the results from the bench tests showed that no new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing program. Therefore, the HYDROCORE™ Guide Wire may be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate ACS HI-TORQUE WHOLEY SUPRA CORE™ Guide Wire and the Terumo® Radifocus® Glidewire® Guide Wire.
