Silverspeed Hydrophilic Guidewire 0 014 Diameter 145cm Length Support Silverspeed Hydrophilic Guidewire 0 014 D
Product: X-pedion — all models and sizes
FDA Clearance Information
The Silverspeed Hydrophilic Guidewire was cleared by the FDA through the 510(k) pathway on June 7, 2000. It is manufactured by Micro Therapeutics and classified as a Class 2 device.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Used with compatible intravascular catheters to facilitate navigation through blood vessels during diagnostic or interventional procedures.
- Intended for use in the peripheral vasculature.
- The device is a Class II catheter guidewire cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway.
Clinical Applications
- Guiding compatible catheters through peripheral arteries during endovascular procedures.
- Supporting catheter navigation through tortuous or narrowed peripheral vascular anatomy.
- Facilitating access during peripheral vascular diagnostic procedures.
- Facilitating access during peripheral endovascular interventions when the guidewire is compatible with the selected catheter.
Reported off-label uses
- Use in selected below-the-knee or other small-vessel interventions may occur in clinical practice, depending on the specific device labeling, anatomy, and operator judgment.
- Some clinicians may use similar 0.014-inch hydrophilic guidewires in other specialized vascular procedures; these applications should not be assumed to be FDA-cleared for this specific device.
Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Practical Considerations
- The listed device has a 0.014-inch diameter and 145 cm length; the guidewire must be matched to the catheter, access route, target anatomy, and procedure.
- Hydrophilic guidewires should be wetted and handled according to the manufacturer's instructions to maintain coating performance.
- Use fluoroscopic or other appropriate imaging guidance, and avoid advancing against significant resistance because vessel injury, dissection, perforation, or wire damage can occur.
- Confirm MRI labeling before an MRI examination; MRI safety depends on the exact model and labeling, and should not be assumed from the product name alone.
- Potential complications include thrombosis, embolization, vasospasm, vessel injury, infection, and guidewire fracture or entrapment.
