Intended Use
The Visions® PV .018 Digital IVUS 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 Visions® PV .018 Digital IVUS 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 Visions® PV .018 Digital IVUS Catheter incorporates a cylindrical ultrasound transducer array located near the distal tip of the catheter. The array radiates acoustic energy into the surrounding tissue and detects the subsequent ultrasonic echoes. The information from the echoes is used to generate real-time images of the coronary or peripheral vessels. The Visions® PV .018 catheter utilizes an internal lumen that allows the catheters to track over a 0.018" (0.46 mm) guide wire. The guide wire exits from the guide wire lumen approximately 31 cm proximal to the catheter tip. The PV .018 catheters are introduced either percutaneously or via surgical cut down into the vascular system. The Visions® PV .018 catheter may only be used with Volcano imaging systems, such as the Volcano s5™, Volcano s5i™, Volcano CORE Mobile, and Volcano CORE imaging systems. The catheter will not operate if connected to any other imaging system.

No
The summary describes a standard intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter that generates real-time images based on ultrasonic echoes. There is no mention of AI or ML being used for image processing, analysis, or any other function. The performance testing focuses on physical and signal processing characteristics, not algorithmic performance.

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

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as an "IVUS Catheter" designed to "evaluate vascular morphology" and provide a "cross-sectional image" of blood vessels. This process of imaging and assessing the structure and condition of vessels falls under the definition of diagnosis, as it aims to identify or characterize a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with an ultrasound transducer array, which is a hardware component. The software mentioned is for processing the echoes to generate images, but it is part of a system that includes significant hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Visions® PV .018 Digital IVUS Catheter is an imaging device that uses ultrasound to visualize the internal structure of blood vessels in vivo (within the living body). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "evaluation of vascular morphology in blood vessels" and provides "a cross-sectional image of such vessels." This is a diagnostic imaging function, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging devices used for diagnostic purposes within the body, not in vitro diagnostics.

  • Sensitization
  • Intracutaneous Reactivity
  • Systemic Toxicity
  • Pyrogenicity
  • ASTM Hemolysis
  • Partial Thromboplastin Time
  • In vivo Thromboresistance
  • C3a Complement Activation
