This catheter is intended for ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology only. Intrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal coronary interventional procedures.
Device Description
OptiCross™ X is a short-rail 40 MHz IVUS imaging catheter. It is compatible with a 0.014" guidewire, and at a minimum, a 5F guide catheter (≥ 0.058" ID). OptiCross X is intended for use with Boston Scientific's (BSC)'s iLab™ equipment and BSC's latest motor drive unit, MDU5 PLUS™. When used together, the catheter, motor drive unit (MDU), and iLab equipment form a complete imaging system that allows for ultrasonic examination of coronary intravascular pathology. The catheter consists of two main components: the catheter body and the imaging core. The catheter body consists of four sections: the telescope assembly, proximal shaft, distal shaft, and the distal quidewire lumen. The proximal shaft, distal shaft, and distal quidewire lumen comprise the usable length of the catheter (135 cm). The proximal telescoping section remains outside of the guide catheter. The distal quidewire lumen (1.6 cm) is used to track the catheter along the quidewire and incorporates a radiopaque marker band (0.5 cm from the distal tip). The distal shaft serves as a flexible and acoustically transparent imaging window. The proximal shaft provides pushability to the catheter and serves as a lumen to the imaging core. Two insertion markers are located on the proximal shaft (90 and 100 cm from the distal tip). These markers facilitate estimation of catheter position relative to the distal tip of the guide catheter. The telescope assembly allows the imaging core to be advanced and retracted up to 15 cm. The corresponding movement of the transducer occurs within the imaging window from 2 to 17 cm from the distal tip of the catheter. The telescoping shaft includes 16 incremental markers (1 cm apart) for lesion length assessment; the 5-cm, 10-cm, and 15-cm markers are distinct. The outer surface of the catheter body also employs a hydrophilic coating to enhance lubricity and promote deliverability (distal 23 cm). The imaging core consists of a proximal hub assembly and a rotating drive cable that houses a piezoelectric (PZT) transducer at the distal imaging window. The hub assembly (1) provides an electro-mechanical interface between the catheter and the motor drive unit and (2) incorporates a oneway check valve that is used to flush the interior of the catheter body. The catheter must be flushed with heparinized saline prior to use, as this provides the acoustic coupling media required for ultrasonic imaging. The drive cable and PZT transducer rotate independently of the sheath to provide 360° image resolution. The transducer converts electrical impulses sent by the motor drive in to transmittable acoustic energy. Reflected ultrasound signals are converted back to electrical impulses, returned to the motor drive unit, and are ultimately processed by the iLab equipment for visualization.

OptiCross™ 6 Coronary Imaging Catheter K153617

No
The description focuses on the physical components, mechanical operation, and basic signal processing for visualization. There is no mention of AI/ML algorithms for image analysis, interpretation, or other functions.

No
The device is described as an "ultrasound imaging catheter" intended for "ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology only." Its primary function is diagnostic imaging, and it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as an "ultrasound examination" and "imaging catheter" for "ultrasonic examination of coronary intravascular pathology," which are all diagnostic functions. The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology."

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with various components (catheter body, imaging core, transducer, etc.) and its interaction with hardware (motor drive unit, iLab equipment). While image processing is mentioned, the core of the device is a physical medical device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD). Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology only." This describes a diagnostic procedure performed in vivo (within the living body) using ultrasound imaging.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed to be inserted into the coronary arteries for imaging. This is consistent with an in vivo imaging device, not a device used to examine samples in vitro (outside the living body).
  • Imaging Modality: The input imaging modality is Ultrasound, which is an in vivo imaging technique.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "Coronary intravascular," which is within the living body.

In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description. It is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device.

Device
Description,
continued

The catheter body consists of four sections: the telescope assembly, proximal shaft, distal shaft, and the distal quidewire lumen. The proximal shaft, distal shaft, and distal quidewire lumen comprise the usable length of the catheter (135 cm). The proximal telescoping section remains outside of the guide catheter.

The distal quidewire lumen (1.6 cm) is used to track the catheter along the quidewire and incorporates a radiopaque marker band (0.5 cm from the distal tip). The distal shaft serves as a flexible and acoustically transparent imaging window. The proximal shaft provides pushability to the catheter and serves as a lumen to the imaging core. Two insertion markers are located on the proximal shaft (90 and 100 cm from the distal tip). These markers facilitate estimation of catheter position relative to the distal tip of the guide catheter.

The telescope assembly allows the imaging core to be advanced and retracted up to 15 cm. The corresponding movement of the transducer occurs within the imaging window from 2 to 17 cm from the distal tip of the catheter. The telescoping shaft includes 16 incremental markers (1 cm apart) for lesion length assessment; the 5-cm, 10-cm, and 15-cm markers are distinct. The outer surface of the catheter body also employs a hydrophilic coating to enhance lubricity and promote deliverability (distal 23 cm).

The imaging core consists of a proximal hub assembly and a rotating drive cable that houses a piezoelectric (PZT) transducer at the distal imaging window. The hub assembly (1) provides an electro-mechanical interface between the catheter and the motor drive unit and (2) incorporates a oneway check valve that is used to flush the interior of the catheter body. The catheter must be flushed with heparinized saline prior to use, as this provides the acoustic coupling media required for ultrasonic imaging.

The drive cable and PZT transducer rotate independently of the sheath to provide 360° image resolution. The transducer converts electrical impulses sent by the motor drive in to transmittable acoustic energy. Reflected ultrasound signals are converted back to electrical impulses, returned to the motor drive unit, and are ultimately processed by the iLab equipment for visualization.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

This catheter is intended for ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology only. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal coronary interventional procedures.

Device | OptiCrossTM X maintains the same fundamental scientific
technology and operating principles as the predicate
OptiCrossTM 6 (K153617). Furthermore, sheath/imaging
materials, device packaging, sterilization, ancillary capital
equipment, and indications for use remain unchanged. |

| With narrowed proximal sheath and imaging window profiles,
OptiCrossTM X offers physicians a smaller 5F compatible
alternative, while providing the same level of safety and
performance of OptiCrossTM 6 (6F compatible device). In
practice, OptiCrossTM X serves as the next iteration of BSC's
legacy 5F guide catheter compatible platform, OptiCrossTM
(K123621). | |
| Aside from the narrowed proximal sheath and imaging
window profile, the only remaining difference between
subject and predicate is the use of silicone for the anchor
seal O-ring (telescope assembly); the same material
employed by the legacy reference device OptiCrossTM
(K123621). With this one exception, all raw materials utilized
by OptiCrossTM X are identical to those of the predicate,
OptiCrossTM 6 (K153617). | |
| In support of a substantial equivalence determination, BSC
has compared and evaluated the design differences between
the subject and predicate device. | |
| Non-clinical performance evaluations, as described below,
indicate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to,
and at least as safe and effective as the predicate device
(OptiCrossTM 6, K153617). | |
