Infraredx, Inc. TVC-MC9i TVC Integrated Imaging System™

TThe TVC Integrated Imaging System™ (TVC-MC9i) is a dual-modality intravascular imaging system that enables structural and chemical assessment of coronary arteries and plaques by using integrated NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) and Extended Bandwidth™ IVUS imaging technology to identify lipid-core plaques (LCP) of interest. The system utilizes proprietary NIRS analysis and 50MHz Extended Bandwidth rotational IVUS imaging from a single catheter. This model of TVC Imaging System is designed to be installed in the catheterization laboratory and minimize usage of space. The system features a touch screen control interface and a workflow that fits the complex catheterization laboratory environment. The system is compatible with the TVC Insight XB™ Extended Bandwidth NIRS-IVUS Catheter Kit (TVC-C195-32). Indications for Use:1. The TVC 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.
