Intended Use
The IOPS (Intra-Operative Positioning System) is intended for the evaluation of vascular anatomy as captured via 3D modeling from previously acquired scan data. It is intended for real time tip positioning and navigation using sensor equipped compatible catheters and guidewires used in endovascular interventions in the descending aorta. The system is indicated for use as an adjunct to fluoroscopy. The IOPS does not make a diagnosis.
Device Story
IOPS provides real-time visualization of sensor-equipped catheters and guidewires during endovascular interventions. System inputs include patient-specific 3D vascular models generated from pre-acquired contrast-enhanced CT scans. Principle of operation utilizes electromagnetic tracking; a field generator creates a time-varying magnetic field to detect the position and orientation of sensors embedded in catheters and guidewires. The computing unit overlays these real-time sensor positions onto the 3D vascular map. Used in the operating room by trained clinicians; system components include a mobile cart, monitor, computer, and tracking hardware. Output allows clinicians to navigate branch vessels near lesions, promoting efficient OR time and reducing fluoroscopy reliance. IOPS does not perform diagnosis; it functions as an adjunct to standard imaging.
Clinical Evidence
No human clinical data provided. Evidence includes bench testing (electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging integrity, mechanical evaluation of catheters/guidewires), summative usability testing in a simulated environment, and porcine animal studies for functional evaluation and usability. Accuracy testing performed per ASTM F2554.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises a mobile cart, monitor, computer, and electromagnetic tracking system (control unit, interface unit, field generator). Catheters and guidewires are sensor-embedded. Materials meet ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards. Mechanical testing per ISO 10555-1 and FDA guidewire guidance. Sterilization via ISO 11135. Connectivity involves integrated software for 3D mapping and sensor overlay. Operates via electromagnetic field sensing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing endovascular interventional procedures of the descending aorta, such as stent grafting, requiring real-time tip positioning and navigation of sensor-equipped catheters and guidewires as an adjunct to fluoroscopy.

### Device Description:
The IOPS system displays the position and orientation of sensor equipped guidewires and catheters utilizing electromagnetic tracking technology. The system enables mapping of the patient's vascular system utilizing previously acquired CT scan data. IOPS registers the location and orientation of the sensors in real time superimposing navigation of the catheters and guidewires to the patient's vascular map.
The patient's vascular map is generated using a contrast enhanced, high resolution CT scan. The IOPS creates a 3D rendering of that structure. A bone segmented 3D rendering may optionally be created to provide anatomical, skeletal points visible in relation to the vascular rendering.
The main principles of action for the IOPS are similar to those used in Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking. The navigation components generate a time-varying magnetic field in which the position and orientation of sensor embedded catheters and guidewires are read. The computing unit visually displays the location of the sensor on the patient's vascular map.
The system is intended for use by trained clinicians for patients undergoing endovascular interventional procedures of the descending aorta, such as stent grafting. The system promotes more efficient use of operating room time and minimizes the need for fluoroscopy. The clinician uses the IOPS catheters and guidewires to navigate through the aorta to access branch vessels

near to, or involved in, the lesion. The catheters and guidewires are not for angiographic or diagnostic use.
IOPS is composed of a mobile cart which houses a monitor, computer, keyboard, pointing device, uninterruptable power supply (UPS), and cables. IOPS includes a tracking system composed of a system control unit (SCU), system interface unit (SIU), field generator, mounting brackets, and cables. These components are reusable and not patient contacting. The IOPS is integrated with software to generate the mapping and overlay of the live sensors. The IOPS works with a sensor embedded catheter, guidewire, and tracking pad which are provided sterile and not intended for re-use.
## Intended Use:
The IOPS (Intra-Operative Positioning System) is intended for the evaluation of vascular anatomy as captured via 3D modeling from previously acquired scan data. It is intended for real time tip positioning and navigation using sensor equipped compatible catheters and guidewires used in endovascular interventions in the descending aorta. The system is indicated for use as an adjunct to fluoroscopy. The IOPS does not make a diagnosis.
