Intended Use
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.
Device Story
TVC Imaging System performs dual-modality intravascular imaging using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Device inputs include optical and acoustic signals acquired via specialized catheter within coronary arteries. System transforms these signals into co-registered images displaying vessel structure (IVUS) and lipid-core plaque distribution (NIRS). Used in cardiac catheterization labs by interventional cardiologists; output displayed on console for real-time visualization. Clinicians use co-registered data to identify lipid-rich plaques and assess lipid burden, informing procedural decisions during coronary interventions. Benefits include enhanced characterization of coronary pathology beyond standard angiography.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided in the document; substantial equivalence supported by bench testing and comparison to predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Dual-modality system combining NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) and IVUS (intravascular ultrasound). Catheter-based sensing; console-based processing. Connectivity via standard medical imaging interfaces. Software-driven image reconstruction and co-registration of optical and acoustic data.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography or candidates for transluminal coronary interventional procedures requiring near-infrared examination of coronary arteries for lipid-core-containing plaque detection and lipid core burden assessment, or intravascular ultrasound examination of coronary pathology.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others.

Dear Steven J. Chartier:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of November 24, 2014.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
{1}------------------------------------------------
comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address
