No
The device is described as a "diagnostic device" designed to provide imaging and physiological parameter measurements, which are used for diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions rather than directly providing therapy.
Yes
Explanation: The "Device Description" explicitly states, "The iLab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System is a diagnostic device designed to provide both intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) modalities." Furthermore, aspects of its intended use, such as "diagnosis and treatment of patients" using "hemodynamic information," indicate its diagnostic capabilities.
No
The device description explicitly details multiple hardware components beyond software, including PC units, display monitors, a Motordrive Unit, a Signal Processing Module, a Bluetooth Communication Module, and a Hemodynamic Cable Kit. It also interfaces with physical catheters and guidewires.
Based on the provided text, the iLab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Function: The iLab Polaris system operates in vivo (within the living body).
- The IVUS modality uses ultrasound inside blood vessels to visualize the vasculature.
- The FFR modality measures pressure within blood vessels using a pressure guidewire.
- Specimen Handling: The device does not involve the collection, preparation, or examination of specimens taken from the body. It directly interacts with the patient's internal environment.
Therefore, the iLab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic or interventional devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The IVUS modality of the iLab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System is intended for ultrasound examinations of intravascular pathology.
Intravascular ultrasound is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures such as angioplasty and atherectomy.

Automatic Pullback is indicated when the following occurs:
• The physician/operator wants to standardize the method in which intravascular ultrasound images are obtained and documented: procedure-to-procedure, operator-to-operator.
· The physician/operator wants to make linear distance determinations post-procedurally, which requires the imaging core of a catheter to be pulled back at a known uniform speed.
· Two-dimensional, longitudinal reconstruction of the anatomy is desired.
The FFR modality of the Lab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System is intended for use in catheterization and related cardiovascular specialty laboratories to compute, and display various physiological parameters based on the output from one or more electrodes, transducers or measuring devices.

Device Description
The iLab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System is a diagnostic device designed to provide both intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) modalities. Only one modality can be used at a time and are independent of one another.
The IVUS modality allows the application of ultrasound technology to see from inside blood vessels out through the surrounding blood column, enabling the physician to visualize the coronary or peripheral vasculature. The IVUS functionality consists of two non-sterile compact PC units (one for imaging processing and one for data acquisition) and two non-sterile display monitors (for the integrated system -one primary and an optional secondary). It also consists of a non-sterile Motordrive Unit (MDU), sterile bag which covers the MDU and a sterile disposable sled. The iLab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System interfaces with BSC imaging catheters at the Motordrive Unit (MDU), which provides the electro-mechanics for the rotating parts of the imaging catheter, and the interface between the catheter and the console and BSC proprietary software. The Motordrive Unit provides the rotation of the imaging catheter core required for cross-sectional imaging. An electro-mechanical connector interface at the proximal end of the imaging catheter makes the connection to the MDU-catheter interface consists of an integrated mechanical drive hub and electrical connection. The MDU is the primary control for catheter positioning and movement through the vessel.
The FFR modality measures the pressure gradient across lesions to determine lesion severity and thus, in conjunction with other tools help guide physicians in making treatment decisions. FFR is defined as the ratio of pressure distal of a lesion (Pd) to the pressure proximal of a lesion (Pa-aortic pressure) during maximum blood flow. Maximum blood flow is achieved by injection of a vasodilator to open up the distal arteriole bed.
The FFR modality will also utilize the two non-sterile compact PC units (one displays the physiological parameters and one for data acquisition) and two non-sterile display monitors (for the integrated system -one primary and an optional secondary). In addition the FFR modality consists of a Signal Processing Module (SPM- commercial name FFR Link), Bluetooth Communication Module (BCM) and Hemodynamic Cable Kit.
The iLab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System console interfaces with BSC's Pressure Guidewire through the optical cable connector of the pressure guidewire, the FFR Link and the Bluetooth Communication Module (BCM).
The Pressure Guidewire sensor is designed to output an optical signal that corresponds to the pressure distal (Pd) of a lesion in a blood vessel. This optical signal is acquired and processed by the FFR Link. The FFR Link also acquires and processes the patient's aortic pressure signal (Pa) obtained from a resistive bridge IBP transducer. The FFR Link processes, digitizes and wirelessly streams by Bluetooth the aortic pressure (Pa) and distal pressure (Pd). These wirelessly streamed pressure signals are received by the iLab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System console through the BCM. BSC's proprietary software processes the pressure signals received via the BCM for display of Pa and Pd waveforms, Pa. Pd and Pd/Pa (FFR calculation) for physician interpretation. Additionally the FFR Link provides an analog, BP-22 compliant, signal which passes the IBP measurement, unchanged, to the catheterization lab's hemodynamic system.

The indication for use statements do not differ from those of the predicate devices.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
Ultrasound is the technological principle for the IVUS modality of the subject device and its predicate device. Therefore the technological characteristics are the same for the IVUS modality of the subject device and its predicate device.
The following technological differences do exist for the FFR modality of the subject device and its predicate device.
- The predicate device is an integrated single device whereas the subject device consists of separate components
- . Pressure wire interface is wired for the predicate device whereas the subject device interfaces with the pressure wire wirelessly
- o The predicate device is based on a piezoresistive effect to measure the distal pressure whereas the subject device is based on optical interferometry to measure distal pressure.
- Characteristics of pressure range, pressure accuracy and frequency response differ between the predicate device and the subject device
6
These technological differences do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness as the subject device meets the required FDA recognized consensus standards. In addition the data presented address the differences in technological characteristics between the predicate device and the subject device and provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate the predicate device and the subject device can be deemed substantially equivalent and the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
