The Imalux Niris Imaging System is intended to be used as an imaging tool in the evaluation of human tissue microstructure by providing two-dimensional, crosssectional, real-time depth visualization.

The Imalux Niris Imaging System utilizes near infrared (NIR) light to create high spatial resolution, real-time images of human tissue microstructure. The Niris Imaging System consists of an Imaging Console and a detachable, flexible fiberoptic Probe. The Imaging Console consists of internal optical and electrical components and a user interface system. The Niris Imaging Console contains optical and electrical components, including a super luminescent diode (SLD) light source. The NIR light is directed from the Console through the Probe's optical fiber to the patient's tissue. The optical light is backscattered from the patient's tissue, collected by the Probe's fiber, and, combined with a reference, to produce a high spatial resolution image of the tissue microstructure. By using a small lateral scanning mechanism contained within the Probe, the optical beam scans laterally across the tissue surface while simultaneously acquiring an in-depth profile at each lateral position. By combining in-depth and lateral scanning, the Niris Imaging System produces a two-dimensional, cross-sectional image of the tissue microstructure. The Imaging Console has a user interface for acquiring, displaying, and reporting images. Image data is stored onto the system and can be exported via Ethernet or USB data ports on the console.

The Imalux OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Probe Sheath is a sterile, single-use, protective sheath that is used as an accessory with the Imalux OCT Imaging System. The Imalux OCT Probe Sheath is intended to serve as a microbial barrier between the probe and the patient's tissue, helping to prevent the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material to the patient and healthcare worker during reuse of the probe.

The Imalux OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Probe Sheaths (Probe Sheaths) are sterile, single-use, protective sheaths for use with the Imalux OCT Imaging System. The sheaths are provided to fit the Imalux OCT Imaging System probe geometry and to help to prevent the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and material to the patient and healthcare worker during reuse of the Probe. The Probe Sheath does not impair the imaging performance of the Imalux OCT Imaging System. Adequate coupling between the Probe Sheath and the probe's distal end can be achieved without the use of an additional medium, such as gel, due to the pliability of the membrane window material. The Probe Sheath is constructed of rigid tubing with a flexible end cap membrane window at one end and with a plastic handle at the other end. The probe is inserted into the tubing at the handle and fed through the tubing until the probe's distal tip is flush with the Probe Sheath's membrane window. The handle includes a lock nut to secure the probe in place. The Probe Sheath is provided in various dimensional configurations necessary to accommodate the probe as well as to assist the user in probe positioning. Probe Sheaths are provided as sterile, single-use sheaths, individually packaged in Tyvek/Mylar pouches.
