Intended Use
The Reconnaissance PV .018 Digital IVUS catheter is designed for use in the evaluation of vascular morphology in blood vessels of the peripheral vasculature by providing a cross-sectional image of such vessels. This device is not currently indicted for use in cerebral vessels. The Reconnaissance PV .018 Digital IVUS catheter is designed for use as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of the vessel lumen and wall structures.
Device Story
Over-the-wire (OTW) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter; 64-element cylindrical transducer array at distal tip. Radiates acoustic energy into peripheral vessel tissue; detects echoes; transmits data to Philips imaging systems (e.g., CORE Series, IntraSight). Used in clinical settings by physicians as adjunct to angiography. Provides real-time cross-sectional images of vessel lumen and wall structures. Assists clinicians in vascular morphology evaluation; aids in procedural decision-making during peripheral interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data presented. Verification and validation testing demonstrate the device performs as intended under defined conditions.
Technological Characteristics
64-element cylindrical ultrasound transducer array; 150cm working length; hydrophilic coating on distal 40cm. Compatible with 0.018" guidewires and 5F guide sheaths. Electrical interface via PIM connector. Phased array synthetic aperture technology. Standalone catheter for use with compatible Philips imaging systems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for evaluation of vascular morphology in peripheral vasculature via cross-sectional imaging. Adjunct to conventional angiography for imaging vessel lumen and wall structures. Contraindicated for use in cerebral vessels.
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.

| PREDICATE DEVICES: | Visions PV .018 Digital IVUS Catheter (K150442)<br>Visions EEP/EEP-ST/Visions PV .014P RX Digital IVUS Catheter<br>(K143701) |
| REFERENCE DEVICE: | Visions PV .035 Digital IVUS Catheter (K153094) |
| DEVICE DESCRIPTION: | The Reconnaissance PV .018 OTW IVUS Catheter is an over-the-wire<br>intravascular imaging catheter with a digital ultrasound transducer<br>at the distal end and has a transducer that utilizes a 64-element<br>cylindrical array that radiates acoustic energy into the surrounding<br>tissue and detects the subsequent echoes. The information from the<br>echoes is used to generate real-time images of the peripheral<br>vessels. The Reconnaissance PV .018 Digital IVUS catheter is<br>designed for use as an adjunct to conventional angiographic<br>procedures to provide an image of the vessel lumen and wall<br>structures. |
| | The catheter has 150cm working length and a hydrophilic coating at<br>the distal 40 cm to assist the clinician in advancing the catheter to<br>the desired location. The minimum guide sheath is 5F (0.074") and<br>the maximum guide wire Outer Diameter (OD) is 0.018" (0.46 mm).<br><br>At the proximal end, there is a PIM Connector and Y Connector (aka<br>Y-Arm). The Y-Arm allows the catheter to incorporate the PIM<br>Connector while still serving as an over-the-wire design. A Luer/hub<br>fitting (aka the Y-Arm) is attached to the proximal end of the<br>catheter via an integrated strain relief and provides a channel for the<br>scanner lead wires, routed from the cylindrical ultrasound<br>transducer array, to interface electrically with the patient interface<br>module (PIM) connector. The Visions® PV 0.018 Catheter may only<br>be used with Philips Imaging Systems, such as the CORE Series<br>Precision Guided Therapy Systems such as the IntraSight System. |
| INDICATIONS FOR USE: | The Reconnaissance PV .018 Digital IVUS catheter is designed for use<br>in the evaluation of vascular morphology in blood vessels of the<br>peripheral vasculature by providing a cross-sectional image of such<br>vessels. This device is not currently indicted for use in cerebral<br>vessels.<br><br>The Reconnaissance PV .018 Digital IVUS catheter is designed for use<br>as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an<br>image of the vessel lumen and wall structures. |
| COMPARISON OF<br>CHARACTERISTICS | The Reconnaissance PV .018 OTW catheter is a modification to the<br>currently marketed PV .018 Digital IVUS Catheter cleared under<br>K150442 to an over the wire design. Philips has prior experience<br>with an over the wire digital IVUS catheter having obtained<br>clearance and marketed the PV .035 Digital IVUS catheter (K153094).<br>The subject device and predicates are all phased array catheters<br>using synthetic Aperture Intravascular technology. The subject and<br>predicates devices have the same principle of operation. The devices<br>incorporate an ultrasound transducer array located near the distal<br>tip of the catheter. The array radiates acoustic energy into the<br>surrounding tissue and detects the subsequent ultrasonic echoes.<br>The information from the echoes is transmitted to compatible<br>imaging systems and is used to generate real-time images of<br>peripheral vessel lumens and wall structures.<br><br>The subject device scanner and electrical components are the same<br>as those used in the predicate device Visions EEP/EEP-ST/Visions PV<br>.014P RX Digital IVUS Catheter (K143701).<br><br>There are differences in the catheter materials and coating of the<br>Reconnaissance catheter as compared to the predicates.

| CONCLUSIONS | Based on the testing results, the Reconnaissance Digital IVUS<br>Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicates. The data<br>support the performance and safety of the device.<br>Verification/validation demonstrate that the Reconnaissance<br>catheter will perform as intended in the defined conditions. |
