Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of medical procedures is the ONTRAC Steerable Guidewire designed to assist with, and where in the body is it primarily used?
The ONTRAC Steerable Guidewire is specifically engineered to aid in cardiovascular procedures, helping clinicians navigate and position catheters and interventional devices within the coronary and peripheral vasculature. This includes applications in coronary arteries as well as peripheral arteries like the renal arteries, where precise guidance is critical for successful interventions.
Is the ONTRAC Steerable Guidewire intended for single-use or repeated use, and what does this mean for clinical workflows?
The ONTRAC Steerable Guidewire is supplied as a single-use device, meaning it is designed for one-time use in a single patient procedure. This design choice helps ensure patient safety by minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and reduces the need for reprocessing, streamlining clinical workflows and ensuring consistent performance per use.
What does the non-sterile classification of the ONTRAC Steerable Guidewire imply for how it should be handled before use in a procedure?
Since the ONTRAC Steerable Guidewire is non-sterile, it must be sterilized by the healthcare facility prior to use in a procedure. This typically involves terminal sterilization using methods like ethylene oxide gas, steam, or other approved techniques, ensuring it meets sterile standards before insertion into a patient’s vasculature.
What regulatory pathway was followed for the FDA clearance of the ONTRAC Steerable Guidewire, and what does this mean for its safety and performance?
The ONTRAC Steerable Guidewire received FDA clearance through the Traditional 510(k) Review Process, with a decision date of May 12, 1994. This pathway demonstrates that the device was evaluated for substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, ensuring it meets established safety and performance standards for use in angiographic procedures as intended.
