| Description of<br>Device | OptiCross™ 6 is a short-rail 40 MHz IVUS imaging catheter.<br>It is compatible with a 0.014" guidewire, and at a minimum, a<br>6F guide catheter (≥ 0.064" ID).<br><br>OptiCross 6 is intended for use with Boston Scientific's<br>(BSC)'s iLab™ equipment and BSC's latest motor drive unit,<br>MDU5 PLUS™. When used together, the catheter, motor<br>drive unit (MDU), and iLab equipment form a complete<br>imaging system that allows for ultrasonic examination of<br>coronary intravascular pathology.<br><br>The catheter consists of two main components: the catheter<br>body and the imaging core. | | |
{4}------------------------------------------------
| Device<br>Description,<br>continued | The catheter body consists of four sections: the telescope<br>assembly, proximal shaft, distal shaft, and the distal guidewire<br>lumen. The proximal shaft, distal shaft, and distal guidewire<br>lumen comprise the usable length of the catheter (135 cm).<br>The proximal telescoping section remains outside of the guide<br>catheter.<br>The distal guidewire lumen (1.6 cm) is used to track the |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | catheter along the guidewire and incorporates a radiopaque<br>marker band (0.5 cm from the distal tip). The distal shaft<br>serves as a flexible and acoustically transparent imaging<br>window. The proximal shaft provides pushability to the<br>catheter and serves as a lumen to the imaging core. Two<br>insertion markers are located on the proximal shaft (90 and<br>100 cm from the distal tip). These markers facilitate<br>estimation of catheter position relative to the distal tip of the<br>guide catheter. |
| | The telescope assembly allows the imaging core to be<br>advanced and retracted up to 15 cm. The corresponding<br>movement of the transducer occurs within the imaging<br>window from 2 to 17 cm from the distal tip of the catheter.<br>The telescoping shaft includes 16 incremental markers (1 cm<br>apart) for lesion length assessment; the 5-cm, 10-cm, and 15-<br>cm markers are distinct. The outer surface of the catheter<br>body also employs a hydrophilic coating to enhance lubricity<br>and promote deliverability (distal 23 cm). |
| | The imaging core consists of a proximal hub assembly and a<br>rotating drive cable that houses a piezoelectric (PZT)<br>transducer at the distal imaging window. The hub assembly<br>(1) provides an electro-mechanical interface between the<br>catheter and the motor drive unit and (2) incorporates a one-<br>way check valve that is used to flush the interior of the<br>catheter body. The catheter must be flushed with heparinized<br>saline prior to use, as this provides the acoustic coupling<br>media required for ultrasonic imaging. |
| | The drive cable and PZT transducer rotate independently of<br>the sheath to provide 360° image resolution. The transducer<br>converts electrical impulses sent by the motor drive in to<br>transmittable acoustic energy. Reflected ultrasound signals<br>are converted back to electrical impulses, returned to the<br>motor drive unit, and are ultimately processed by the iLab<br>equipment for visualization. |
| Intended<br>Use/Indications<br>for Use | This catheter is intended for ultrasound examination of<br>coronary intravascular pathology only. Intravascular<br>ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are<br>candidates for transluminal coronary interventional<br>procedures. |
| Device<br>Technology<br>Characteristics<br>and<br>Comparison to<br>Predicate<br>Device | OptiCross™ 6 maintains the same fundamental scientific<br>technology and operating principles as the predicate<br>OptiCross™ (K123621). Furthermore, the imaging<br>components, packaging, sterilization, ancillary capital<br>equipment, and indications for use remain unchanged. |
| | With increased proximal sheath and imaging window profiles,<br>OptiCross 6 offers physicians a larger alternative to OptiCross<br>while providing the same level of safety and performance. In<br>practice, OptiCross 6 serves as the replacement for BSC's<br>legacy 6F guide catheter compatible platform, iCross<br>(K111043). |
| | Additional design modifications with respect to the predicate<br>device include a narrowed distal tip profile and utilization of<br>BSC's latest hydrophilic coating, ZGlide™. Material changes<br>have also been made to the rotator retainer, anchor seal O-<br>ring, female telescope tube, and catheter sheath. |
| | In support of a substantial equivalence determination, BSC<br>has compared and evaluated the material and design<br>differences between the subject and predicate device. |
| | Non-clinical performance evaluations, as described below,<br>indicate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to,<br>and at least as safe and effective as the predicate device<br>(OptiCross). |
