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.
Technological Characteristics
Rapid exchange (RX) catheter; 2.6 Fr imaging window, 3.0 Fr shaft; 137 cm effective length. Imaging: 1300 nm near-infrared light and 40 MHz ultrasound. Hydrophilic coating. Radiopaque markers for positioning. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (ISO 11135). Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1 (Externally communicating, circulating blood, limited contact). Transducer IPX7 rated (IEC 60529).
Indications for Use
Indicated for intravascular imaging of coronary arteries in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Patrick McDonald:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 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 Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule").

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

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.
