Intended Use
The Visions PV .035 catheters are designed for use in the evaluation of vascular morphology in blood vessels of the peripheral vasculature by providing a crosssectional image of such vessels. The Visions PV .035 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 and dimensional measurements from the image.
Device Description
The Visions PV .035 Catheter is an over-the-wire intravascular imaging catheter with a digital ultrasound transducer at the distal end. The transducer utilizes a 64-element cylindrical array that 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 peripheral vessels. The Visions PV .035 Catheter is introduced percutaneously or via surgical cutdown into the vascular system, and is designed to track over 0.035"-0.038" (0.89-0.97mm) guide wires. The catheter body has markers 1 cm apart along the working length. There are 25 radiopaque (RO) markers on the distal end of the catheter, starting 1 cm from the imaging plane, with the 25th RO marker overlapping the distal-most wide inked markers (non-radiopaque) continue along the shaft, spaced 1 cm apart, middle, with wider marks indicating 5 cm intervals. A lubricious GlyDx® hydrophilic coating is applied externally to a distal portion of the catheter. The Visions® PV .035 Catheter, catalog number 88901, catheters may only be used with the In-Vision Imaging System, Volcano s5™ or Volcano s5i™ imaging systems, or later systems. This catheter will not operate if connected to any other imaging system.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter and imaging system without mentioning any AI or ML capabilities for image processing, analysis, or interpretation.

No.
The device is used for evaluation and imaging of vascular morphology, not for treating or providing therapy.

Yes
The device is described as evaluating "vascular morphology" and providing "cross-sectional images" of blood vessels, which are activities aimed at diagnosing conditions. It also acts as an "adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of the vessel lumen and wall structures and dimensional measurements from the image," all of which contribute to diagnostic assessment.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "over-the-wire intravascular imaging catheter with a digital ultrasound transducer at the distal end," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Visions PV .035 catheter is an intravascular imaging catheter. It is inserted directly into the blood vessels to create images of the vessel structure using ultrasound. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "evaluation of vascular morphology" and providing "a cross-sectional image of such vessels" and "an image of the vessel lumen and wall structures." This is a direct imaging function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the Visions PV .035 catheter falls under the category of imaging devices used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in glass/outside the body).

Packaging materials and methods for the Visions® PV .035 Catheter will remain unchanged from that of the predicate device at the time of release pending 510(k) approval. Sterility, EO residuals, Bioburden, LAL, and package integrity testing will be completed to ensure that the

changes to the catheter body shape and materials do not have a negative impact on the packaged device. The shelf life of the Visions® PV 8.2 PV IVUS Imaging Catheter will be based upon the data available at the time of product release. The shelf life test plan has been written to include time points up to two years.

The Predicate Device Comparison Tables are contained in the Substantial Equivalence Discussion in Section 9 of this filing. The predicate comparison table and the supporting information provided in this 510(k) are sufficient to demonstrate that the Visions® PV .035 Digital IVUS Catheter is as safe and effective as the legally marked predicate device.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
