The document describes image analysis and processing features (automatic border detection, plaque classification, ChromaFlo), but it does not explicitly mention the use of AI or ML algorithms for these functions. The "new software algorithm" for the iFR® Modality is described in terms of evaluating a portion of the cardiac wave cycle, not as an AI/ML technique.
No
The device is primarily an imaging and diagnostic system used for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of vascular morphology, blood flow, and intravascular pressure. It provides information to aid in diagnosis and guide procedures, rather than directly treating a condition.
Yes
The device is described as being used for "qualitative and quantitative evaluation of vascular morphology," "diagnostic ultrasound imaging," "semi-automatically visualize boundary features and perform spectral analysis," and to "measure intravascular blood pressure during diagnostic angiography and/or interventional procedures." These functions align with the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like the IVUS catheter with a transducer, pressure guide wires, and the CORE™ Control Pad, which is a touch screen accessory. While software is a critical part of the system for analysis and processing, it is not a standalone software-only device.
Based on the provided text, 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 description clearly states that the Volcano s5i®/CORE™ and CORE™ Mobile Precision Guided Therapy System uses intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and pressure measurements inside the blood vessels. It analyzes vascular morphology, blood flow, and pressure directly within the body.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of collecting samples from the patient and analyzing them outside the body.
The device is an in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic guidance system, as it operates and gathers data directly within the patient's body.

Device Description
The Volcano s5i®/CORE™ and CORE™ Mobile Precision Guided Therapy System provides qualitative and quantitative evaluation of vascular morphology in the coronary arteries and vessels of the peripheral vasculature. It is also indicated as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of vessel lumen and wall structures. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) utilizes the acoustic impedance of vascular structures to provide cross sectional images from inside the vessel. The IVUS catheter uses a transducer near the distal tip to emit and receive high frequency sound waves.
The system is then able to analyze the signal that is received by the transducer to differentiate between vessel structures to produce a 360° cross sectional image.
These grayscale images can then be enhanced using VH IVUS. VH analysis provides automatic border detection for the vessel and lumen borders, as well as plaque composition. Plaque is automatically classified into four categories in order to simplify interpretation of the IVUS image
Alternatively, the ChromaFlo feature can be used to identify the blood flow. The ChromaFlo® feature uses patented technology to provide a visual depiction of blood flow through the vessel. This is accomplished by overlaying a two-dimensional color mapping of relative blood flow velocity onto the grayscale ultrasound image.
In the FFR (or pressure) mode, the system acquires intraluminal data from a pressure guide wire while simultaneously taking aortic pressure data from the established ECG/EKG catheterization laboratory equipment. The system will measure pressure from the transducer on the guide wire both proximal and distal to a lesion and will calculate the fractional flow reserve (FFR).
The iFR® Modality is similar to the FFR Modality in that both modalities are capable of taking pressure measurements and both modalities have the identical indications for use and use the identical pressure wires. The primary difference is a new software algorithm that evaluates a portion of the cardiac wave cycle. The FFR Modality is calculated based on the entire cardiac wave cycle, whereas the iFR® Modality is calculated by isolation of the cardiac wave cycle where intracoronary resistance is naturally constant and minimized and where intracoronary flow is maximized. This results in the ability to measure pressure without administration of a hyperemic agent with the iFR® Modality whereas the FFR Modality is calculated after administration of a hyperemic agent.
iFR® Pullback and Live iFR are new features added to the iFR® Modality that will allow the assessment of a lesion (spot measurement) or vessel (pullback measurement) in a resting condition without the requirement of a hyperemic agent. The iFR® Pullback feature will allow the user to assess a length of vessel by placing the pressure sensor distally, beginning recording/measuring, and pulling the sensor back through the vessel to a stopping point. This generates a "map" of the wave-free pressure gradient iFR® values along the vessel and a distal iFR® value that represents the condition of the vessel at the most distal point of the recording.
The rotational mode is available on the system with the Revolution catheter connected to the system via the PIMr (SpinVision). Cross-sectional images from inside the vessel are displayed on the monitor allowing the user to make measurements.
The CORE™ Control Pad is a touch screen accessory that is a secondary controller in the Volcano s5i®/CORE™ and CORE™ Mobile Precision Guided Therapy System (integrated and mobile systems). Images, data, and case navigation controls are relayed to and from the CORE™ Control Pad display via the system central processing unit (CPU). These images, data and controls are presented in a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on the touch screen of the CORE™ Control Pad. The user may use the GUI to navigate IVUS and FFR cases and to make measurements on intravascular ultrasound images that are presented on the primary system display.
