Indications for Use
The PacePro Wire is intended for use to introduce and position interventional devices within the chambers of the heart, including those used for transcatheter aortic valve procedures. Additionally, the PacePro Wire can be used for temporary intracardiac pacing by transmitting an electrical signal from an external pulse generator to the heart.
Device Story
PacePro Wire is a sterile, single-use, unipolar guidewire used by physicians in clinical settings to navigate interventional devices through blood vessels into heart chambers. It functions as a structural guidewire and a temporary pacing electrode. The device transmits electrical signals from an external pulse generator to the heart to provide temporary pacing. It is physically identical to the predicate SavvyWire but lacks the fiberoptic pressure-sensing capabilities. The physician connects the wire to an external pulse generator via an alligator clamp. The device facilitates transcatheter aortic valve procedures by providing both mechanical support for device delivery and electrical pacing capability, potentially reducing the need for additional pacing leads and improving procedural efficiency.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were conducted. Substantial equivalence was established through bench testing, including mechanical testing, particulate testing, and rapid pacing testing, alongside biocompatibility, sterilization, and packaging validation per ISO standards.
Technological Characteristics
Stainless steel guidewire, 0.035" OD, 280 cm length. Shaft and intermediate section coated with PTFE. Unipolar electrode configuration for temporary pacing. Compatible with standard external pulse generators. Sterilized via ethylene oxide. No fiberoptic sensor or fiber bundle present.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in patients requiring introduction and positioning of interventional devices within heart chambers, including transcatheter aortic valve procedures, and for temporary intracardiac pacing. Contraindicated for use in cerebral vasculature and in the absence of anti-coagulation therapy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A catheter guide wire is a coiled wire that is designed to fit inside a percutaneous catheter for the purpose of directing the catheter through a blood vessel.

Dear Marc Chaunet:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.

## DEVICE 2.
Name of Device: PacePro Wire
Common or Usual Name: Structural guidewire with temporary pacing capabilities
Classification name: Wire, guide, catheter; electrode, pacemaker, temporary
Regulatory Class: II Product
Code: DQX, LDF
### PREDICATE DEVICE 3.
The proposed PacePro Wire™ is substantially equivalent to the Opsens existing guidewire, SavyWire™ cleared in K213854 on 09/14/2022.
The subject device is physically the same product as the SavvyWire, without the pressure sensing capabilities. The predicate device has not been subject to a design-related recall.
### 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The proposed PacePro Wire is a guidewire that includes functions for a structural wire and a pacing wire (temporary intracardiac pacing by transmitting an electrical signal from an external pulse generator to the heart.). Throughout the submission this will be referred to as either PacePro Wire or Opsens Pacing Wire (OPW). These two names are interchangeable and represent branding name vs. internal descriptive name.
{5}------------------------------------------------
## 5. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The PacePro Wire is intended for use to introduce and position interventional devices within the chambers of the heart, including those used for transcatheter aortic valve procedures.
Additionally, the PacePro Wire can be used for temporary intracardiac pacing by transmitting an electrical signal from an external pulse generator to the heart.
## COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE 6. DEVICE
The proposed PacePro Wire is substantially equivalent to the SavvyWire™ cleared in K213854 on 09/14/2022.
The proposed PacePro Wire indications for use are essentially the same as for the SawyWire, minus the following portion "while measuring the pressure within the heart allowing calculation of hemodynamic parameters" as the subject device does not feature the pressurement capabilities of the cleared predicate SavvyWire.
The technological characteristics of the proposed PacePro Wire encompass the functionalities of the predicate device including functions for a structural wire, and a pacing wire (temporary intracardiac pacing by transmitting an electrical signal from an external pulse generator to the heart). Each of these functions is fully supported by the relevant predicate device. Identical to the SawyWire, the PacePro Wire is unipolar. This necessitates the use of a separate patient electrode for the positive connection to the external pulse generator. The pacing capabilities of the PacePro Wire is tested to be equivalent to that of the predicate device. No new questions of safety and effectiveness were identified during the execution of Verification and Validation activities.
Therefore, the proposed devices, PacePro Wire meets substantial equivalence requirements with regards to the legally marketed predicate SavvyWire cleared in K213854.
For detailed comparison, refer to the Substantial Equivalence table on the following pages.
