Intended Use
The Foresight ICE System is indicated for intracardiac and intraluminal ultrasound visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy as well as visualization of other devices in the heart and great vessels of patients. The Foresight ICE System is intended to be used by physicians trained in cardiac catheterization in combination with fluoroscopic imaging and cardiac monitoring equipment with resuscitation equipment readily available.
Device Story
Foresight ICE System provides intracardiac/intraluminal ultrasound visualization of cardiovascular anatomy and devices. System comprises 10.3F single-use deflectable catheter, Patient Interface Module (PIM), and Hummingbird Console. Catheter features mechanically scanned single-element transducer rotating within distal sheath; transducer orientation adjustable relative to longitudinal axis. PIM houses motor/drive system for transducer rotation. Console generates/transmits ultrasound energy, acquires imaging data, and processes/displays 2D/3D images on dual monitors (physician/technician). Used in clinical settings by physicians trained in cardiac catheterization alongside fluoroscopy. 3D imaging generated by varying transducer rotation speed without catheter movement. Output aids visualization during procedures; does not provide automated diagnosis or measurements. Benefits include real-time anatomical visualization to guide cardiac interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation testing performed per ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility), IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 60601-1-6 (usability), IEC 60601-2-18, IEC 60601-2-37, and ISO 11135 (sterilization). Acoustic output parameters (MI, pressure, PRF) were measured and found to be within safe limits, with reduced acoustic output compared to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
10.3F deflectable catheter with PEBAX 5533 atraumatic tip; single-element 9MHz ultrasound transducer; mechanically scanned. Console-based system with PIM motor drive. Connectivity: DICOM/native format export. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (ISO 11135). Electrical safety: IEC 60601-1 3rd edition. Imaging: 2D B-mode and 3D reconstruction via transducer rotation speed modulation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intracardiac and intraluminal ultrasound visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and visualization of other devices in the heart and great vessels. Intended for use by physicians trained in cardiac catheterization.

#### Device Description
The Foresight ICE System is an imaging system intended for intracardiac and intraluminal ultrasound visualization of cardiac and greater vessel anatomy. The Foresight ICE System is comprised of a 10.3F sterile, single-use catheter intended to operate with Patient Interface Module (PIM) and the Hummingbird Console.
The Foresight ICE Catheter uses a mechanically scanned single element imaging transducer that allows for both 2D imaging, similar to an existing rotational ICE Catheter, as well as 3D imaging.
The Foresight ICE Catheter is designed to provide ultrasound images of cardiovascular anatomy. It is a mechanically scanning catheter with a single imaging transducer that rotates within the distal end of a deflectable sheath. The distal tip of the sheath is shaped as a dome and made of an acoustically transmissive material (that is also visually transparent). The distal 10 cm of the catheter can be deflected in a single
{4}------------------------------------------------
direction by extending the deflection controller on the handle near the proximal end of the catheter.
The Hummingbird Console is a cart based console that connects to the PIM. It is used to generate and transmit ultrasound imaging energy to activate an ultrasound transducer located at the distal tip of the Foresight ICE Catheter, and then acquire received ultrasound imaging data from the catheter. It then processes imaging data and displays it to the users. It consists of two displays - one for a technician or nurse and one for the physician. It also provides user interfaces for user input.
The PIM serves as the interface between the single-use catheter and the Hummingbird Console. It acts as a relay for electrical ultrasound signals between the Hummingbird Console and catheter. It contains a motor and associated drive system to rotate the transducer imaging assembly of the catheter.
#### Indications for Use
The Foresight ICE System is indicated for intracardiac and intraluminal ultrasound visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy as well as visualization of other devices in the heart and great vessels of patients.
The Foresight ICE System is intended to be used by physicians trained in cardiac catheterization in combination with fluoroscopic imaging and cardiac monitoring equipment with resuscitation equipment readily available.

<sup>1</sup> a) Bleeding risk:
Manual pressure is the default technique for vascular closure of 9-11F puncture sites for venous access. Catheter sizes larger than 10F are used routinely in clinical practice for venous access, (for example: Niagara Catheter 13.5F) is used for temporary dialysis lines.
b) Fit within the anatomy
The adult cardiovascular anatomy in which the Foresight catheter and UltralCE catheter would be introduced is quite large relative to the size of the catheters themselves. The common femoral vein diameter was assessed in an article by Fronek et al (Journal of vascular surgery May 2001, Volume 33, lssue 5, Pages 1050–1056) and states that for men and women the values are 12.9 mm +/- 1.81mm and 11.2 mm +/- 1.89mm respectively.

{10}------------------------------------------------
lmpact of 3D imaging capability - The predicate device K980851 (Boston Scientific Galaxy™ Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging System) does not generate 3D reconstructions of anatomy, as it operates with a transducer oriented in a fixed sideviewing position (~10 degrees from the full side-viewing position) while the Colibri Foresight ICE system can vary the transducer orientation from side viewing (~10 degrees from the full side-viewing position) to forward-viewing (~10 degrees from the full forward looking position).
In terms of the intended uses, each of the stated uses is discussed separately below:
- 1. Therapeutic use: The device does not provide therapy, and thus has no intended therapeutic use.
- 2. Diagnostic use: While the device does provide visualization of anatomy, it does not claim to diagnose any particular condition. The visualization can be provided in real-time 2D. The 3D imaging capability augments the visualization by reconstructing 2D information into 3D and does not diagnose any conditions. The device can be used as labelled for diagnostic use without 3D reconstruction.
- 3. Prosthetic use: The device is not a prosthetic, and thus has no intended prosthetic use.
- 4. Surgical use: The device is not a surgical device, and thus has no intended surgical use.
The 3D capability of the Colibri Foresight ICE System does not affect the substantially equivalency for the determination relative to the 2D system because of the following Safety and Efficacy justifications:
- 1. Efficacy: Since the Foresight ICE system can achieve approximately the same real-time side viewing angles as the predicate device and can resultantly generate equivalent views, the system is able to provide at least equivalent efficacy in guiding procedures. The ability to tilt the transducer to view at different angles and generate 3D images is supplemental to this B-mode imaging functionality and does not hinder the efficacy.
- 2. Safety: The acquisition of 3D imagery does not alter the way in which the catheter interacts with the body relative to the predicate:
- a) 3D images are generated without movement of the catheter, by altering the speed of rotation of the imaging assembly inside the sheath
- b) The type and intensity of energy deposited to the body is the same or less than the predicate device
By design, the worst case maximum temporal in situ intensity, for the Foresight ICE Imaging System, occurs for the situation where the transducer is in the full forward looking position. This condition has been used to define the worst case B-mode acoustic output and is applicable to both 2D and 3D imaging display modalities. Such a situation would indeed occur for a 3D sweep, provided that the user wanted to include the most forward viewing A-line as part of the intended 3D reconstruction.
The interpretation of 3D reconstructions do not add risk to the patient as users are instructed that the reconstructions need to be considered in light of motion artifacts that may be present due to cardiac motions. Moreover, no measurements of structures in 3D are permitted, nor are length measurements permitted in the real-time 2D images.
