Insight Hydrophilic Catheter™ Kit The TVC Insight Hydrophilic Catheter™ Kit (TVC-C195-22) is a single use, disposable coronary catheter and accessory kit designed for use only with the TVC Imaging System™ (TVC-MC8). The dual-modality intravascular imaging catheter combines laser-based near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and high fidelity 40 MHz ultrasonics for simultaneous acquisition of vessel structure and plaque composition—a single catheter, a single pullback, two sets of data. The catheter features a 40MHz wide bandwidth IVUS transducer and durable hydrophilic coating for improved delivery.Indications for Use:1. The TVC Imaging System™ is intended for the near-infrared examination of coronary arteries in patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography. a. The System is intended for the detection of lipid-core-containing plaques of interest. b. The System is intended for the assessment of coronary artery lipid core burden. 2. The System is intended for ultrasound examination of coronary intravascular pathology. a. Intravascular ultrasound imaging is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal coronary interventional procedures.
A flexible, non-steerable tube with an ultrasound imaging transducer enclosed in a fluid-resistant or waterproof acoustically- and electrically-insulated housing, designed for insertion into the vascular system (i.e., peripheral vascular system, coronary artery) by an operator; it is not intended for intracardial insertion/imaging. Also known as a vascular ultrasound transducer, it includes either a single or an array of transducer element(s) (piezoelectric, active, or crystal); it cannot be manoeuvred via controls (i.e., non-steerable). This is a single-use device.
