Intended Use

The system is intended for ultrasound examinations of intravascular pathology in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures such as angioplasty and atherectomy, and to compute and display physiological parameters from the cardiovascular system.

Technology

The system combines a display interface, specialized catheters with miniaturized ultrasound probes, physiological assessment hardware (pressure wire and FFR Link), and new software features such as Automated Stent Assessment, Side Branch Display, and IVUSConnect. The system includes updated hardware (Frame Grabber) and maintains the same fundamental technology as the predicate device.

Performance

The system underwent non-clinical performance evaluation, including verification and validation testing for safety and effectiveness according to leading standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-37, IEC 62304, etc.). Automated Stent Assessment algorithm demonstrated a mean absolute error of 13.1% for stent expansion and 0.74 mm² for minimum lumen area. No clinical studies were used; equivalence was supported by non-clinical data.
