Intended Use
The Scout catheter is intended for the intravascular ultrasound examination of coronary arteries. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures.
Device Story
Scout 3.2F/45 MHz Coronary Imaging Catheter and M2401B Patient Interface Unit (PIU) provide intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging of coronary arteries. Device inputs ultrasound signals to generate cross-sectional images of vessel walls; system utilizes motorized pullback functionality to acquire longitudinal image data. Used in clinical settings by physicians during transluminal interventional procedures. Output displayed to clinician to visualize coronary anatomy, aiding in procedural decision-making and assessment of vessel morphology. Benefits include enhanced visualization of coronary vasculature to guide interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Submission includes biocompatibility and bench testing results for all design and material changes to support substantial equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Intravascular ultrasound imaging catheter (3.2F/45 MHz). Features motorized pullback system integrated into M2401B PIU. Materials: new patient contact materials. Connectivity: operates with M2400A Intravascular Ultrasound System. Energy source: ultrasound transducer. Form factor: catheter-based.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures requiring intravascular ultrasound examination of the coronary arteries.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Mr. Butler:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613.
