Intended Use
The OptiCross 35 15 MHz Peripheral Imaging Catheter is intended for ultrasound examination of peripheral vascular pathology only. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures.
Device Description
OptiCross 35 15 MHz Peripheral Imaging Catheter (OptiCross 35) is designed for use with BSC's iLab™ Ultrasound Imaging System equipment and the motor drive unit, MDU5 PLUS™. When used together, the catheter, the motor drive unit, and iLab System equipment form a complete imaging system that allows for ultrasonic visualization of the peripheral vasculature. OptiCross 35 consists of two main components: the telescoping section and the dual lumen sheath. The telescoping section remains exterior to the patient's body during use and allows the imaging core to be advanced and retracted over 25cm of linear movement. The dual lumen sheath has one lumen which surrounds the imaging core attached proximally to the hub, and the other lumen is for guidewire use. The imaging core is composed of a high-torque, flexible, rotating drive cable with an outward-looking ultrasonic transducer at the distal tip. The proximal hub provides an electro-mechanical interface between the catheter and the motor drive unit. There are 25 radiopaque gold markers, approximately 1 cm apart, beginning at the distal end of the imaging core, which ends with a radiopaque housing that contains the transducer. Heparinized saline is flushed within the catheter prior to use to act as an acoustic medium. The PZT transducer and the drive cable rotate independently from the sheath to provide 360° image resolution. The transducer converts electrical impulses sent by the motor drive into 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 live visualization of intravascular structures.
More Information

OptiCross 18 30 MHz Peripheral Imaging Catheter (K160514)

No
The description focuses on the hardware components and basic signal processing for visualization, with no mention of AI/ML for image analysis, interpretation, or other functions.

No.
The device is solely for diagnostic purposes (ultrasound examination of peripheral vascular pathology and visualization of intravascular structures), not for treating any condition.

Yes
The device is described as an "ultrasound examination of peripheral vascular pathology" and "ultrasonic visualization of the peripheral vasculature." Its purpose is to provide "live visualization of intravascular structures," which are all diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a transducer, drive cable, and other hardware components, which are integral to its function. While it interacts with a system that processes signals (which likely includes software), the device itself is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "ultrasound examination of peripheral vascular pathology only." This is an in vivo imaging procedure, meaning it is performed within the living body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter with an ultrasonic transducer that is inserted into the peripheral vasculature to visualize structures inside the body.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device uses ultrasound to create images of internal structures. This is a form of medical imaging, not a test performed on biological samples outside the body.

IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Performance Data

Determination of substantial equivalence is based on an assessment of non-clinical performance bench testing, including bench-top performance evaluations, packaging validation, biological safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and acoustic output testing.

Bench Testing:
Bench testing was performed to evaluate physical integrity, functionality, and performance of the catheter. Performance criteria includes: deliverability, quidewire and sheath compatibility, image quality, non-uniform rotational distortion, measurement accuracy, general imaging capabilities, dimensional requirements, catheter tensile strengths, freedom from leak, visibility under fluoroscopy, interface with ancillary devices, environmental requirements, user interface requirements, corrosion resistance and particulates.

Biological Safety Testing:
Biocompatibility testing in accordance with ISO 10993-1, microbial assessments including bioburden and endotoxin, and pyrogenicity and sterility assurance testing show the device is biocompatible for its intended use.

Electrical and Mechanical Safety:
Acoustic Output was evaluated in accordance with FDA Guidance, Information for Manufacturers Seeking Marketing Clearance of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers (June 27, 2019). Acoustic Output test results for the OptiCross 35 15 MHz Peripheral Imaging Catheter are below the FDA Track 1 limits. Electromagnetic compatibility testing was also conducted demonstrating compliance to IEC 60601-1-2 (4th Edition) and IEC 60601-2-37 (Edition 2.1).

Packaging Validation:
The integrity of the packaging configuration was evaluated in accordance with ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2. Testing was conducted on fully packaged units after electron beam sterilization, climatic conditioning, and distribution challenge conditioning.

Clinical Testing:
Performance testing from clinical studies is not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence of OptiCross 35 15 MHz Peripheral Imaging Catheter.

Description | OptiCross 35 15 MHz Peripheral Imaging Catheter (OptiCross 35) is
designed for use with BSC's iLab™ Ultrasound Imaging System
equipment and the motor drive unit, MDU5 PLUS™. When used
together, the catheter, the motor drive unit, and iLab System
equipment form a complete imaging system that allows for ultrasonic
visualization of the peripheral vasculature.

OptiCross 35 consists of two main components: the telescoping
section and the dual lumen sheath.

The telescoping section remains exterior to the patient's body during
use and allows the imaging core to be advanced and retracted over
25cm of linear movement.

The dual lumen sheath has one lumen which surrounds the imaging
core attached proximally to the hub, and the other lumen is for
guidewire use.

The imaging core is composed of a high-torque, flexible, rotating drive
cable with an outward-looking ultrasonic transducer at the distal tip.
The proximal hub provides an electro-mechanical interface between
the catheter and the motor drive unit. There are 25 radiopaque gold
markers, approximately 1 cm apart, beginning at the distal end of the
imaging core, which ends with a radiopaque housing that contains the
transducer. Heparinized saline is flushed within the catheter prior to
use to act as an acoustic medium.

The PZT transducer and the drive cable rotate independently from the |

electrical impulses sent by the motor drive into transmittable acoustic
energy. Reflected ultrasound signals are converted back to electrical
impulses, returned to the motor drive unit, and are ultimately
