Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What is the Guider-22 primarily used for in medical procedures?
The Guider-22 is a steerable guidewire designed to assist in cardiovascular procedures. It helps navigate and position catheters or other interventional tools within blood vessels, providing stability during tasks like angioplasty or stent placement. Its role is to act as a supportive framework for precise device placement.
Is the Guider-22 intended for single-use or reusable applications?
The Guider-22 is explicitly supplied as a single-use device. This means it is meant to be used once per patient and then discarded, ensuring patient safety and reducing the risk of contamination or cross-infection.
How is the Guider-22 packaged and stored before use?
The Guider-22 is provided in a non-sterile state, meaning it requires terminal sterilization (e.g., ethylene oxide or gamma irradiation) by the healthcare facility before use. Since it is single-use, storage should follow standard protocols for non-sterile medical devices until sterilized, then handled under aseptic conditions.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the Guider-22?
The Guider-22 received FDA 510(k) clearance under the traditional review process, classified as Class II (regulation 870.1330). It was deemed Substantially Equivalent (SESE) to a predicate device by the Cardiovascular (CV) Advisory Committee in February 1992, confirming its safety and effectiveness for its intended use.
