The Orchestra Hydrophilic Guidewire by Coloplast A/S was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on May 27, 2015. It is a Class 2 medical device under product code OCY.
What It Is
The Orchestra Hydrophilic Guidewire is a medical device designed to assist in navigating through the vascular system during procedures. It features a hydrophilic coating that reduces friction, allowing for smoother passage through blood vessels. The guidewire comes in various configurations, including standard and stiff, with angled or straight tips, to accommodate different procedural needs.
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Intended for use in the peripheral and coronary vasculature to facilitate the placement and exchange of catheters and other interventional devices.
- Intended to provide support and guidance during endovascular procedures when navigating through blood vessels.
- Use is limited to the labeled device configurations, sizes, and compatible catheters described in the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Clinical Applications
- Catheter placement and exchange during vascular interventions
- Navigation through tortuous, narrow, or branching blood vessels
- Guidewire support for delivery of compatible endovascular devices
- Use in peripheral vascular procedures when the selected wire size and configuration match the catheter and anatomy
Practical Considerations
- The device is available in standard and stiff configurations with straight or angled distal tips; selection depends on vessel anatomy, required support, and the catheter being used.
- Hydrophilic guidewires should be prepared and kept wet according to the instructions for use to maintain lubricity. Avoid advancing or withdrawing the wire against resistance.
- Use fluoroscopic imaging and careful wire manipulation to reduce the risk of vessel dissection, perforation, vasospasm, or entanglement.
- Confirm compatibility among the guidewire diameter, length, catheter lumen, and other devices before use.
- MRI safety depends on the exact model and labeling. Confirm the current manufacturer’s MRI information before scanning; do not assume that a guidewire is MR safe or MR conditional.
