Yes

The device is intended for "ultrasound examination of peripheral intravascular pathology" and "intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures," indicating its use in identifying and assessing medical conditions, which falls under the definition of diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like an imaging wire, outer sheath, imaging core, transducer, and adapters, indicating it is a hardware device with imaging capabilities, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, 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. They are used outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The BSC Imaging Wire is an intravascular ultrasound imaging device. It is inserted into the body (specifically, peripheral blood vessels) to visualize internal structures using ultrasound.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "ultrasound examination of peripheral intravascular pathology." This is a diagnostic procedure performed within the body.

Therefore, because the device operates and performs its diagnostic function inside the patient's body, it falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use/Indications

The BSC Imaging Wire is intended to be used for the ultrasound examination of peripheral intravascular pathology only. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures. The Imaging Wire is specifically indicated for use with diagnostic or interventional devices which are compatible with 0.035" guidewires.

Device Description

The Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging Wire consists of an imaging wire and a detachable or fixed adapter. The Imaging Wire is a 0.035" inch diameter, 180 cm long imaging wire that functions in a manner similar to a 0.035 inch exchange wire and includes ultrasonic imaging capabilities. The Imaging Wire consists of an outer sheath and an imaging core with a 20 MHz ultrasonic transducer. The distal tip coil and the transducer are radiopaque. Both the fixed and detachable adapters have electro-mechanical connectors that interface between the Imaging Wire and the BSC Motor Drive Unit/BSC Ultrasound Instrument System. The Imaging Wire allows up to 15 cm of linear movement of the imaging core for visualization through the outer sheath without moving the distal tip. The Imaging Wire is intended for use with the BSC ClearView Ultra™ and BSC Galaxy™ Ultrasound Instrument Systems.

Principle of Operation

Using sterile technique, the user removes the Imaging Wire from its sterile package. The user ensures that the movable imaging core is completely in the distal position via the telescoping shaft. For Imaging Wires with detachable adapters, the proximal end of the Imaging Wire is then inserted into the adapter. Both caps of either the fixed or detachable adapter are then closed to seal the flushport. The 1cc and 10cc syringes are connected to the 3-way stopcock. The assembly is then connected to the extension tube and both syringes are filled with heparinized saline. The user ensures that all air is expelled from the system. The extension tube is then connected to the luer on the flushport. The 10 cc syringe is used as a reservoir for refilling the 1 cc flushing syringe. The Imaging Wire is flushed twice with 1cc's of saline. The saline solution should be seen exiting the distal tip. The 10 cc syringe is refilled as needed and reattached to the stopcock without introducing air into the line.

The adapter which is attached to the Imaging Wire is then connected to the Motor Drive Unit by aligning the orientation marks between the proximal hub and the Motor Drive Unit. To ensure that the adapter is fully seated in the Motor Drive Unit, the user gently tugs on the hub. The user then activates the Motor Drive Unit to confirm proper operation. Proper operation is indicated by partial bright concentric rings on the instrument monitor. The user prepares the entry site with a sheath introducer according to standard practice. A guidewire and catheter are used to access the area of interest. The guidewire is removed. The distal end of the Imaging Wire is inserted into the wire lumen of the catheter. The Imaging Wire is advanced with direct. fluoroscopic visualization to the area of interest. The user continues advancing the Imaging Wire until the distal tip crosses a minimum of 4 cm bevond the region of interest. Keeping the outer sheath of the Imaging Wire fixed, the user activates the Imaging Wire and then retracts the imaging core slowly along its 15 cm travel, imaging any region of interest. When imaging is complete, the user fully advances the imaging core and stops the Motor Drive Unit.

Exchanges Using the Imaging Wire with Detachable Adapter

The imaging core is fully advanced and the Motor Drive Unit is stopped. The adapter is detached by gently pushing the proximal end of the Imaging Wire into the adapter. While the user maintains the distal position of the Imaging Wire, the imaging core can be retracted to the desired length in order to facilitate removal of the catheter. The catheter is removed by withdrawing it over the proximal end of the Imaging Wire. With the Imaging Wire held in place, the user introduces and tracks a 0.035" guidewire compatible diagnostic or interventional device over the proximal end of the Imaging Wire. The imaging core is advanced as the 0.035" guidewire compatible device is advanced. When imaging is desired, the user reconnects the detachable adapter by inserting the proximal end of the Imaging Wire into the adapter.

Data Demonstrating Substantial Equivalence

Performance testing on the Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging Wire demonstrated that the device meets or exceeds the performance requirements for the intended clinical use of the device. Laboratory/Bench Testing was conducted and the results demonstrated that the Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging Wire satisfies all of its performance specifications, which are designed to ensure that the device is safe and effective for its intended use.

Biocompatibility testing was conducted in accordance with International Standard ISO-10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing (1995). The results of these tests demonstrate that the BSC Imaging Wire is biocompatible.

Conclusion

Laboratory/Bench and biocompatibilty testing demonstrate that the BSC Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging Wire is safe and effective for its intended use.
