The summary describes a software modification for an existing device that adds an optional vessel measurement feature. While it involves image processing of OCT data, there is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts like training or test sets for algorithmic learning. The performance studies focus on the accuracy of the measurement feature, not on the performance of an AI/ML model.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the Pantheris System is "intended to remove plaque (atherectomy) from partially occluded vessels," which is a direct treatment of a medical condition.
Yes
The device uses Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to provide images of vessel lumen, wall structures, and vessel morphologies, and offers an optional vessel measurement feature, which are all diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Pantheris System consists of hardware components including a catheter, sled, and lightbox imaging console, in addition to software. This Special 510(k) only introduces a software modification to an existing hardware system.
Based on the provided text, the Pantheris System 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.
- Pantheris System Function: The Pantheris System is a medical device used in vivo (inside the body) to remove plaque from blood vessels. It uses OCT imaging and atherectomy (plaque removal) capabilities directly within the peripheral vasculature.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for removing plaque from vessels in the peripheral vasculature, which is an internal anatomical site.
- Device Description: The description details a catheter inserted into the body, an optical transceiver transmitting light intraluminally (inside the lumen of the vessel), and a system for real-time visualization of the internal vessel environment.
The Pantheris System is an interventional medical device used for treatment and imaging directly within the body, not for testing samples taken from the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Pantheris System is intended to remove plaque (atherectomy) from partially occluded vessels in the peripheral vasculature with a reference diameter of 3.0mm, using OCT-assisted orientation and imaging. The system is an adjunct to fluoroscopy by providing images of vessel lumen, wall structures and vessel morphologies.
The Pantheris System is NOT intended for use in the iliac, coronary, cerebral, renal or carotid vasculature.

Device Description
The Pantheris System combines the use of Avinger's Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology with peripheral vascular atherectomy capabilities. The Pantheris System consists of the Pantheris Catheter, Lightbox Sled with integrated Umbilical (referred to as "Sled") and the Lightbox HS Imaging Console (referred to as "Lightbox").
The Pantheris Catheter is connected to the Lightbox via the Sled. The Lightbox is an optical transceiver, transmitting light to the intraluminal environment through the optical fiber on the Pantheris Catheter and receiving and interpreting the signal from the tissue using a PC-based processing system. The Lightbox provides a visualization platform for the real-time OCT-assisted directional atherectomy. The Lightbox consists of a cart with two monitors; a PC based processing system, software, an isolation transformer and an OCT system.
This Special 510(k) introduces an optional vessel measurement feature to the Pantheris System software in the Lightbox HS Imaging Console.
Prior to or post atherectomy procedures, physicians routinely use fluoroscopy to make visual assessments of the vessel diameter and size. This helps decide the device sizing of their choice for treatment, post atherectomy (e.g. balloon or stenting after atherectomy). The vessel measurement feature that is being introduced via this Special 510(k) submission is only intended to be used by the physicians as an optional confirmation of their initial vessel diameter/size assessment.

Device Description and Proposed Modification
The Pantheris System (cleared under K162326) combines the use of Avinger's Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology with peripheral vascular atherectomy capabilities. The Pantheris System consists of the Pantheris Catheter, Lightbox Sled with integrated Umbilical (referred to as "Sled") and the Lightbox HS Imaging Console (referred to as "Lightbox").
4
The Pantheris Catheter is connected to the Lightbox via the Sled. The Lightbox is an optical transceiver, transmitting light to the intraluminal environment through the optical fiber on the Pantheris Catheter and receiving and interpreting the signal from the tissue using a PC-based processing system. The Lightbox provides a visualization platform for the real-time OCT-assisted directional atherectomy. The Lightbox consists of a cart with two monitors; a PC based processing system, software, an isolation transformer and an OCT system.
This Special 510(k) introduces an optional vessel measurement feature to the Pantheris System software in the Lightbox HS Imaging Console.
Prior to or post atherectomy procedures, physicians routinely use fluoroscopy to make visual assessments of the vessel diameter and size. This helps decide the device sizing of their choice for treatment, post atherectomy (e.g. balloon or stenting after atherectomy). The vessel measurement feature that is being introduced via this Special 510(k) submission is only intended to be used by the physicians as an optional confirmation of their initial vessel diameter/size assessment.
Indications for Use
The Pantheris System is intended to remove plaque (atherectomy) from partially occluded vessels in the peripheral vasculature with a reference diameter of 3.0mm to 7.0mm, using OCT-assisted orientation and imaging. The system as an adjunct to fluoroscopy by providing images of vessel lumen, wall structures and vessel morphologies. The Pantheris System is NOT intended for use in the iliac, coronary, cerebral, renal or carotid vasculature.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
This minor modification to the Pantheris System software (cleared under K162326) does not alter the intended use or the fundamental scientific technology of the Pantheris system. There is also no change to the design, functionality, performance, materials or manufacturing processes of the Pantheris System components or accessories as part of this Special 510(k) submission. The modified software does not offer any therapy or treatment recommendations; it only serves to provide an option to the physician if they want additional information to confirm their initial vessel size assessment.
The performance testing conducted establishes that the minor software modification of including an optional measurement feature does not raise new questions of the safety and efficacy for the Pantheris System cleared under K162326.
5
Non-Clinical Test Data
The minor modification to the Pantheris System software to include the optional measurement feature was successfully verified to the specifications and all acceptance criteria were met. In addition, the accuracy of the measurement feature was assessed and found to be within the specified acceptance criteria.
By design the vessel measurement feature is segregated from the active live OCT imaging software, therefore this minor modification to the software does not impact any of the Pantheris System's existing functionality.
Conclusion
The information submitted in this premarket notification, including the successful completion of software verification and measurement accuracy testing, confirms that the minor modification to the Pantheris System software raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness and the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
