Intended Use

DualView Catheter is intended for the intravascular imaging of coronary arteries and is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures.

Device Story

DualView Catheter is a rapid exchange (RX) diagnostic intravascular catheter used for coronary artery imaging. It features an imaging core with a lens and transducer that rotates within a catheter sheath to capture 360° images via simultaneous near-infrared light and ultrasound. The device is used with a 0.014" guidewire and connects to the OPUSWAVE system. During operation, the imaging core is pulled back within the sheath to obtain long-axis images. Radiopaque markers assist in positioning. The device is intended for use by clinicians in interventional settings to visualize coronary anatomy, aiding in the assessment of vessel pathology and guiding interventional procedures. It benefits patients by providing high-resolution, dual-modality imaging to support clinical decision-making during coronary interventions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data included. Evidence consists of bench-level design verification and validation testing, electrical safety/EMC testing, and animal studies (swine model) evaluating tissue injury, thrombus formation, and handling performance.

PREDICATE DEVICE (807.92(a)(3)) The legally marketed devices to which substantial equivalence is claimed are: Primary Predicate K141769 Optis Integrated System, Dragonfly Optis Imaging Catheter Secondary Predicate K123621 Opticross 40 MHz Coronary Imaging Catheter ## D. REASON FOR 510(k) SUBMISSION This traditional 510(k) for DualView Catheter is being submitted as this is a new medical device for the US market. ## E. DEVICE DESCRIPTION (807.92(a)(4)) The DualView Catheter is a catheter consisting of two assemblies: the catheter sheath and the imaging core (consisting of lens and transducer). During imaging, the imaging core rotates inside the catheter sheath to obtain a 360° image of the surface layer of the vessel wall by irradiating with near-infrared light and ultrasound. By pulling back the imaging core inside the catheter sheath, an image in the long axis direction can be obtained. This is a rapid exchange (RX) design (short monorail) catheter, which is used with a 0.014" (0.36 mm) guidewire. The catheter is 2.6 Fr (0.86 mm) in the imaging Page 2 of 10 {6} Terumo Corporation Traditional 510(k) –DualView Catheter 510(k) Summary K250751 window section and 3.0 Fr (1.01 mm) in the shaft section with an effective length of 137 cm. The catheter has a 100 cm hydrophilic coating starting from the distal end, which becomes highly lubricious when wet. The catheter has a telescoping section, and the telescoping length is 155 mm. When connected to the OPUSWAVE, the imaging core can be pulled back 150 mm in the catheter sheath. There are two radiopaque markers. The distal radiopaque marker is located 7 mm from the distal end of the catheter sheath, and the sensor radiopaque marker is located where the near-infrared light and ultrasound are emitted. Those markers allow a user to confirm the positional relationship between the distal end of the catheter and the sensor position (imaging point). There are two depth markers, one at 90 cm and the other at 100 cm from the distal end of the catheter sheath, which serves as a guide for insertion. The transducer has an IPX7 ingress rating in accordance with IEC 60529. The catheter is stored in the holder tube and is secured to the catheter holder. The catheter comes with the Motor Drive Unit (MDU) Cover and accessories. The MDU Cover consists of an adapter and a plastic cover sheet to maintain the sterility of the catheter and clean field. The catheter accessories consist of a connection tube with a three-way stopcock, a priming syringe, and a reservoir syringe for priming the catheter lumen with heparinized saline solution.
