Intended Use
The Eagle Eye Gold catheters are designed for use in the evaluation of vascular morphology in blood vessels of the coronary and peripheral vasculature by providing a cross-sectional image of such vessels. This device is not currently indicated for use in cerebral vessels. The Eagle Eve Gold ultrasound imaging catheters are designed for use as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of the vessel lumen and wall structures. The Avanar F/X 2.9F Catheter is designed for use in the evaluation of vascular morphology in blood vessels of the coronary and peripheral vasculature by providing a cross-sectional image of such vessels. This device is not currently indicated for use in cerebral vessels. The Avanar catheter is designed for use as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of the vessel lumen and wall structures.
Device Description
The Eagle Eye® Gold and Avanar® F/X catheters incorporate a cvlindrical ultrasound transducer array. The array radiates acoustic energy into the surrounding tissue and detects the subsequent echoes. The information from the echoes is used to generate real-time images of the coronary and peripheral vessels. The Eagle Eye® Gold and Avanar® F/X catheters utilize an internal lumen that allows the catheter to track over the 0.014" (0.36mm) guide wire. The guide wire exits from the guide wire lumen approximately 24 cm proximal to the catheter tip. The Eagle Eye Gold catheter is introduced percutaneously or via surgical cut down into the vascular system. The Eagle Eve® Gold and Avanar® F/X catheters may only be used with the Volcano s5 or Volcano s5i IVUS imaging systems and can also be used with Volcano VH IVUS system software v1.2 or higher. These catheters will not operate if connected to any other imaging system.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the hardware (catheter, transducer array) and basic image generation from ultrasound echoes. There is no mention of AI/ML algorithms for image analysis, interpretation, or any other function.

No
The device is described as an imaging catheter used for evaluation of vascular morphology, not for treatment.

Yes

The device is used to evaluate vascular morphology and generate real-time images of vessels, which are diagnostic activities.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like catheters, ultrasound transducers, and guide wires, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Eagle Eye Gold and Avanar F/X catheters are used inside the body (in vivo) to generate images of blood vessels using ultrasound. They are directly inserted into the vascular system.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to evaluate vascular morphology by providing cross-sectional images of blood vessels. This is a diagnostic procedure performed within the body, not on a sample taken from the body.

The device is an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging catheter, which is a type of medical device used for diagnostic imaging within the body.
