Intended Use
The iSight™ Imaging Catheter is intended for ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology ONLY. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal coronary interventional procedures.
Device Description
The iSight™ imaging catheter consists of two subassemblies: Catheter body and Imaging core. The catheter body is comprised of three sections: Distal section - Guidewire lumen and Imaging Core lumen, Proximal section - Imaging Core lumen only, and Telescoping section - Imaging Core lumen only. The distal section has a guidewire lumen and an imaging core lumen. The guidewire lumen is lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a hydrophilic coating [Bioslide™ BL] is applied to the distal section. A radiopaque (RO) marker is embedded in the catheter tip. The catheter sheath gradually tapers from 2.5F to 1.5F. The proximal section is a single lumen tube with attached molded strain relief. An insertion depth indicator is located on the proximal section. The working length is 135 cm. The iSight™ catheter is 5F guide catheter compatible. The telescoping section remains outside the guide catheter and allows for 15 cm of linear translation of the imaging core. It contains a flush port with a one-way valve. The telescope section has 16 gold marks, spaced at 1-cm increments. The imaging core is composed of a flexible, rotating drive cable with an outward looking 40 MHz ultrasonic transducer at the distal end. An electromechanical connector interface at the proximal end connects to the Motor Drive Unit (MDU). The iSight™ catheter is compatible with the MD-4 and MD-5 Motor Drive Units and the ClearView Ultra™, Galaxy™ , Galaxy 2 ™ , and iLAB™ systems.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and basic functionality of an ultrasound imaging catheter, with no mention of AI or ML for image analysis or other purposes.

No.
Justification: The device is described as an "Imaging Catheter" intended for "ultrasound examination" of coronary intravascular pathology, indicating its use for diagnostic imaging rather than therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "intended for ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology ONLY." An examination for pathology is a diagnostic process. Additionally, the "Summary of Performance Studies" section mentions "Acoustic Output Testing was performed as described in the FDA Guidance, Information for Manufacturers Seeking Marketing Clearance of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers (September 30, 1997)." This FDA guidance specifically pertains to diagnostic ultrasound systems.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a catheter body, imaging core, guidewire lumen, transducer, and electromechanical connector, indicating it is a hardware device with imaging capabilities, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology ONLY." This describes a procedure performed within the body (in vivo) to visualize structures.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter with an ultrasonic transducer designed to be inserted into coronary vessels. This is consistent with an in vivo imaging device.
  • Lack of In Vitro Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples of human origin (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body, which is the defining characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. This device is used to directly image structures within the human body.

Device Description

The iSight™ imaging catheter consists of two subassemblies:

  • Catheter body
  • Imaging core

The catheter body is comprised of three sections:

  • Distal section - Guidewire lumen and Imaging Core lumen
  • Proximal section - Imaging Core lumen only
  • Telescoping section - Imaging Core lumen only

The distal section of the iSight™ catheter body has a guidewire lumen and an imaging core lumen. The 1.3 cm long guidewire lumen with tapered entry profile provides access into the femoral artery via a 0.36 mm (0.014") guidewire. To enhance pushability and trackability, the guidewire lumen is lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a hydrophilic coating [Bioslide™ BL] is applied to the distal section of the catheter body. For fluoroscopic visibility within the vasculature, a radiopaque (RO) marker is embedded in the catheter tip at 0.5 cm from the distal tip. To enhance flexibility, the catheter sheath gradually tapers from 2.5F at the proximal bond, to 1.5F at the distal section.

The proximal section is comprised of a single lumen tube with attached molded strain relief. For navigational purposes, an insertion depth indicator is located on the proximal section 100 cm from the distal tip and corresponds to the length of a 100 cm quide catheter.

The working length of the iSight™ catheter assembly is comprised of the distal and proximal sections and measures 135 cm. The iSight™ catheter is 5F quide catheter compatible.

The telescoping section remains outside of the guide catheter and allows for 15 cm of linear translation of the imaging core within the catheter body. It also contains a flush port with a one-way valve, which is used to displace air near the transducer prior to insertion into the patient. The catheter must be flushed with heparinized saline prior to use, as this provides the acoustic coupling media required for ultrasonic imaging. The one-way valve helps retain saline in the catheter during use. The telescope section has 16 gold marks, spaced at 1-cm increments, to indicate imaging core position during manual pullback of the imaging core.

The imaging core is composed of a flexible, rotating drive cable with an outward looking 40 MHz ultrasonic transducer at the distal end. The transducer, in the fully advanced position, is located 1.7 cm from the catheter distal tip. An electromechanical connector interface at the proximal end of the imaging core makes the connection to the Motor Drive Unit (MDU). The MDU-Catheter interface consists of an integrated mechanical drive hub and electrical connection. The iSight™ catheter is compatible with the MD-4 and MD-5 Motor Drive Units.

The iSight™ catheter is compatible with the ClearView Ultra™, Galaxy™ , Galaxy 2 ™ , and iLAB™ systems.
