Intended Use

The Bard Hydrophilic Coated Guide Wire is a guide wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel. They may be used for the introduction and placement of diagnostic or interventional devices in the coronary and peripheral vasculature and may be used to reach and cross a target lesion. Hydrophilic Coated Angiography Guide Wires are indicated for use for percutaneous entry into a vessel using the Seldinger technique. Hydrophilic Coated Angioplasty (PTCA) Guide Wires are steerable guidewires that are used for the introduction and placement of diagnostic or interventional devices in the coronary and peripheral vasculature and may be used to reach and cross a target lesion.

Device Story

Bard Hydrophilic Coated Guide Wires are steerable wires designed for insertion into percutaneous catheters. Used by clinicians to navigate coronary and peripheral vasculature; wires facilitate placement of diagnostic or interventional devices and crossing of target lesions. Device functions as a mechanical guide; no electronic or software components. Benefits include improved trackability and navigation through blood vessels during minimally invasive procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Hydrophilic coated guide wire; materials and construction consistent with predicate Bard and Terumo devices. Mechanical device; no energy source, software, or connectivity.

Indications for Use

Indicated for percutaneous vessel entry via Seldinger technique (Angiography wires) or introduction/placement of diagnostic/interventional devices in coronary/peripheral vasculature to reach/cross target lesions (PTCA wires). No contraindications.

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

• Bard Preamendment Angiographic Guide Wires
• Bard PTCA Steerable Standard Guide Wire
• Bard Silk Guide Wire
• Terumo Glidewire

# Description and Intended Use of Device:

The Bard Hydrophilic Coated Guide Wire is a guide wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel. They may be used for the introduction and placement of diagnostic or interventional devices in the coronary and peripheral vasculature and may be used to reach and cross a target lesion.

Hydrophilic Coated Angiography Guide Wires are indicated for use for percutaneous entry into a vessel using the Seldinger technique.

Hydrophilic Coated Angioplasty (PTCA) Guide Wires are steerable guidewires that are used for the introduction and placement of diagnostic or interventional devices in the coronary and peripheral vasculature and may be used to reach and cross a target lesion.

# Technological Characteristics Summary:

The Bard Hydrophilic Coated Guide Wire discussed in this 510(k) is similar the Bard Hydrophilic Coated Guide Wires discussed in K974713 which were similar to the Terumo Glidewire regarding materials and construction, and is similar to Bard Silk Guide Wires, Bard Angiography Guide Wires and Bard PTCA Steerable Standard Guide Wire regarding materials and construction, packaging and sterilization. The indications for use are similar to both Terumo Glidewire and the Bard Guide Wires. They are all indicated for the introduction and placement of diagnostic or interventional devices in the coronary and peripheral vasculature and may be used to reach and cross a target lesion.

# Performance Data:

Safety and performance testing was performed to demonstrate that the Bard Hydrophilic Coated Guide Wire is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. This testing supports the guide wires covered under this 510(k) as they are of the same design and materials of construction. No changes have been made that would warrant additional testing.
