INFRAREDX, INC. TVC-MC10 Makoto Intravascular Imaging System™

The Makoto Intravascular Imaging System™ (TVC-MC10) is a dual-modality intravascular imaging system that enables structural and chemical assessment of coronary arteries and plaques by using integrated Extended Bandwidth IVUS imaging and NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) technologies to identify lipid-core plaques (LCP) of interest. The system utilizes proprietary NIRS analysis and 50 MHz Extended Bandwidth rotational IVUS imaging from a single catheter. The system features a touch screen control interface and a workflow that fits the complex catheterization laboratory environment. The system is compatible with the Dualpro™ IVUS+NIRS Imaging Catheter Kit (TVC-C195-42). Indications for Use:1. The Makoto Intravascular Imaging System™ is intended for the near-infrared examination of coronary arteries in patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography. a. The System is intended for the detection of lipid-core-containing plaques of interest. b. The System is intended for the assessment of coronary artery lipid core burden. 2. The System is intended for ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology. a. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal coronary interventional procedures.
