The ACS Hi-Torque Cross-It Guide Wire, manufactured by Guidant, was cleared by the FDA via the 510(k) pathway on July 15, 1998. It is classified as a Class II device under product code DQX.
What It Is
The ACS Hi-Torque Cross-It Guide Wire is a specialized guide wire with a hydrophilic coating designed to facilitate the navigation of vascular pathways during interventional procedures. Its hydrophilic coating reduces friction, allowing for smoother passage through blood vessels. This device is particularly useful in complex vascular cases where maneuverability and precision are critical.
Clinical Applications
This guide wire is commonly used in interventional cardiology, particularly during procedures such as percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and angioplasty. It is utilized in settings like cardiac catheterization labs and is essential for patients with coronary artery disease requiring revascularization. The device is suitable for adult patients undergoing these procedures.
Indications for Use
The FDA indications for this device include its use in facilitating the placement of catheters and other devices within the vascular system. It is intended for patients requiring intervention for vascular occlusions or blockages.
Practical Considerations
The ACS Hi-Torque Cross-It Guide Wire comes in various sizes to accommodate different vascular anatomies. Its hydrophilic coating requires proper handling to maintain its lubricity. Clinicians should ensure compatibility with other devices used during procedures.
