Operated by clinicians in a catheter laboratory; the wire is steered using a torque device. The sensor transmits physiological data to a diagnostic computer or hemodynamic recording system via a connection cable (Certus model) or transmitter (Aeris model). The output is displayed for the clinician to monitor pressure and other parameters, aiding in clinical decision-making during interventional procedures. The device features a modified hydrophobic PTFE coating on the proximal portion to improve performance. Benefits include real-time physiological monitoring during catheterization. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing included biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), sterilization (ISO TS 11135-2), particulate matter (USP <788>), and container plastics (USP <661>). Design verification and validation included physical, mechanical, and coating integrity testing (fractures, friction force, wire diameter, and straightness). ## Technological Characteristics Guidewire with integrated catheter-tip pressure transducer. Materials comply with ISO 10993-1 and USP standards. Features a hydrophobic PTFE coating on the proximal section. Connectivity via cable or transmitter to hemodynamic recording systems. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide. ## Regulatory Identification A catheter tip pressure transducer is a device incorporated into the distal end of a catheter. When placed in the bloodstream, its mechanical or electrical properties change in relation to changes in blood pressure. These changes are transmitted to accessory equipment for processing. ## Predicate Devices - PressureWire™ Certus™ and PressureWire™ Aeris™ ([K131452](/device/K131452.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

DEVICE NAME | Proprietary Name: | PressureWire™ | |----------------------|---------------------------------------------------| | Common/Usual Name: | PressureWire™ Guidewire | | Classification Name: | Transducer, Pressure, Catheter Tip (870.2870) | | | Wire, Guide, Catheter (870.1330) | | | Transmitters and Receivers, physiological signal, | | | radiofrequency (870.2910) | #### 3. PREDICATE DEVICE PressureWire™ Certus™ and PressureWire™ Aeris™, cleared September 5, 2013 under K131452. #### 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The PressureWire has an integrated sensor element at the tip to enable measurements of physiological parameters. The wire is introduced into the patient's blood vessel. A torque device is used to steer the wire and sensor into the required position for pressure measurements according to standard clinical practice. PressureWire is available in two different lengths. The guidewire is uniquely paired with a specific connection cable for PressureWire Certus or with a specific transmitter for PressureWire Aeris (subject device). Both PressureWire {4}------------------------------------------------ connection configurations connect to a diagnostic computer or a catheter laboratory hemodynamic recording system. ## 5. INTENDED USE PressureWire™ is indicated to direct a catheter through a blood vessel and to measure physiological parameters in the heart and in the coronary and peripheral blood vessels. ## 6. PREDICATE DEVICE COMPARISON PressureWire was cleared by FDA under 510(k) K131452 on September 5, 2013. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of intended use, indication for use, operational characteristics, and fundamental design and technology characteristics. The subject device, PressureWire™ (models Certus™ and Aeris™), has been modified with regards to the hydrophobic PTFE coating on the proximal part of the guidewire. ## 7. TESTING SUMMARY The PressureWire has been tested and is in compliance with ISO 10993-1:2009 with C1:2010), Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process, ISO TS 11135-2:2008, Sterilization of health care products -Ethylene Oxide - Part 2 Guidance on the application of ISO 11135-1, USP 33-NF 28 General chapter <788> Particulate matter in injections, and USP 36 <661> Containers - Plastics. In addition to the Biocompatibility, Sterilization and Particulate testing performed design verification and validation was performed on the PressureWire in compliance with internal design control procedures which included bench testing. This bench testing included physical, mechanical and coating integrity testing for fractures, friction force, and wire diameter and straightness. The results of this testing concludes the PressureWire is determined to be safe and effective and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device PressureWire Certus and PressureWire Aeris. ## 8. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE The fundamental scientific technology for the subject device is the same as for predicate device regarding signal transfer, mechanical properties and intended use. Pressure Wire is substantially equivalent to the predicated device in intended use, indication for use, fundamental design and technology, and operating principles, Both devices connect to a diagnostic computer or a catheter laboratory hemodynamic recording system to enable {5}------------------------------------------------ measurements of physiological parameters with a minor design change incorporated into the Pressure Wire guidewire from the predicate device: - Modification of the hydrophobic PTFE coating on the proximal part of the guidewire. The subject device, PressureWire™ (models Certus™ and Aeris™), meets the design inputs and raises no new safety or efficacy concerns. PressureWire™ is determined to be substantially equivalent to the presently marketed predicate device, K131452. ## 8. CONCLUSION The results of these activities demonstrate that the PressureWire is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-c%E2%80%94cardiovascular-monitoring-devices/DXO/K140466](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-c%E2%80%94cardiovascular-monitoring-devices/DXO/K140466) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
