Intended Use
The NES Reprocessed Eagle Eye Platinum RX Digital IVUS Catheters are designed for use in the evaluation of vascular morphology in blood vessels of the coronary and peripheral vasculature by providing a cross-sectional image of such vessels. This device is not currently indicated for use in cerebral vessels. The NES Reprocessed Eagle Eye Platinum RX Digital IVUS Catheter is designed for use as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of the vessel lumen and wall structures.
Device Description
The NES Reprocessed Eagle Eye Platinum RX Digital IVUS Catheter incorporates a cylindrical ultrasound transducer array. The array radiates acoustic energy into the surrounding tissue and detects the subsequent echoes. The information from the echoes is used to generate real-time images of the coronary and peripheral vessels. The NES Reprocessed Eagle Eye Platinum RX Digital IVUS Catheter utilizes an internal lumen that allows the catheter to track over the 0.014" (0.36 mm) guide wire exits from the guide wire lumen approximately 24 cm proximal to the catheter is introduced percutaneously or via surgical cutdown into the vascular system. Three 1 mm-long radiopaque markers are incorporated on the internal lumen positioned 10 mm apart from distal edge to distal edge, starting 10 mm from the proximal edge of the scanner marker tube normally visible under fluoroscopy. The Eagle Eye catheter may only be used with the Volcano s5 Series or CORE Series of Systems Operator's Manual. This catheter will not operate if connected to any other imaging system. A hydrophilic coating is applied externally to a distal portion of the catheter.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard IVUS catheter and imaging system without mentioning any AI/ML components or capabilities. The performance studies focus on reprocessing and basic device functionality.

No
The device is described as providing a cross-sectional image of blood vessels for evaluation, acting as an adjunct to angiographic procedures. Its function is diagnostic imaging, not direct therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as providing "a cross-sectional image of such vessels" for "evaluation of vascular morphology" and as an "adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of the vessel lumen and wall structures." This clearly indicates its use in aiding diagnosis by visualizing internal bodily structures.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with an ultrasound transducer array, radiopaque markers, an internal lumen for a guide wire, and a hydrophilic coating. It also mentions system compatibility with specific hardware systems (Volcano s5 Series or CORE Series). These are all hardware components, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The NES Reprocessed Eagle Eye Platinum RX Digital IVUS Catheter is an imaging device that is inserted directly into blood vessels to visualize their structure in real-time using ultrasound. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "evaluation of vascular morphology" by providing "a cross-sectional image." This is a diagnostic imaging function, not an in vitro diagnostic function.

The device is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device.

The catheter is reprocessed no more than one (1) time. Each device is marked during reprocessing. After the device has reached the maximum number of reprocessing cycles, the device is rejected from further reprocessing. Reprocessing is performed only by Northeast Scientific. Northeast Scientific restricts its reprocessing to exclude devices previously reprocessed by other reprocessors.

Conclusion:

Northeast Scientific, Inc. concludes that the NES Reprocessed Eagle Eye Platinum RX Digital IVUS Catheter is as safe and effective as the predicate devices described herein.
