Indications for Use
The Volcano s5™/s5i™ Series Intravascular Imaging and Pressure System is used for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of vascular morphology in the coronary arteries and vessels of the peripheral vasculature. It is also indicated as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of vessel lumen and wall structures. ChromaFlo® is indicated for qualitative blood flow information from peripheral and coronary vasculature; flow information can be an adjunct to other methods of estimating blood flow and blood perfusion. VH® IVUS intended to be used in conjunction with imaging catheters during diagnostic ultrasound imaging of the peripheral and coronary vasculature. The Volcano VH IVUS System is intended to semiautomatically visualize boundary features and perform spectral analysis of RF ultrasound signals of vascular features that the user may wish to examine more closely during routine diagnostic ultrasound imaging examinations. The pressure feature is intended for use in all blood vessels, including coronary and peripheral arteries, to measure intravascular blood pressure during diagnostic angiography and/or interventional procedures. Rotational 45MHz feature is intended for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of vascular morphology in the coronary arteries and vasculature. As an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of the vessel lumen and wall structures. The pullback feature of the PIMr withdraws the imaging core within the protective sheath for a maximum of 15 cm.
Device Story
System provides intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging and pressure measurement for coronary and peripheral vasculature. Inputs: RF ultrasound signals from imaging catheters; pressure data from guidewires; aortic pressure from ECG/EKG equipment. Processing: System console performs quantitative/qualitative image analysis; semiautomatic boundary visualization; spectral analysis of RF signals (VH IVUS); and pressure data acquisition. Output: High-resolution intraluminal images; blood flow information (ChromaFlo); pressure measurements. Used in Cath Lab by physicians/technicians. Connection Box accessory consolidates cable management for bedside peripherals and patient interface modules (PIMs). Output aids clinical decision-making during diagnostic angiography and interventional procedures by providing detailed vascular morphology and hemodynamic data.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included design verification of the Connection Box PCA, drop testing, IPX4 fluid ingress testing, reliability HALT testing, MTBF testing, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. All results met established acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
System includes console (tower/portable/integrated), PIMs, and Connection Box. Imaging: Pulsed echo ultrasonic imaging. Pressure: Intravascular pressure sensing via guidewire. Connectivity: Integrated with 3rd party angiography equipment and ECG/EKG systems. Software: Semiautomatic boundary visualization and spectral analysis of RF signals. Accessory: Connection Box (non-patient contact).
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative/quantitative evaluation of vascular morphology in coronary and peripheral arteries; adjunct to angiography for vessel lumen/wall imaging; qualitative blood flow assessment (ChromaFlo); semiautomatic boundary visualization and spectral analysis of RF ultrasound signals (VH IVUS); and intravascular blood pressure measurement in all blood vessels during diagnostic/interventional procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
