The SpectraWAVE Imaging System is an intravascular imaging device with the ability to simultaneously assess vessel composition and structure by combining Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in a single catheter-based system. The SpectraWAVE Imaging System consists of the following components:• Console: A mobile platform containing the optical and computing engine, physician and technologist touch displays, power distribution system, and input/output interface. • Software: A proprietary application software that orchestrates the control, acquisition, processing, and display of the OCT-NIRS data. • Controller: A tethered controller that controls the motion of the fiber optic imaging core within the Catheter sheath and connects the Catheter to the Console.• Imaging Catheter: A sterile, single patient use 2.5 French dual-modality imaging catheter containing a rotating fiber optic imaging core inside a protective sterile sheath.
An assembly of optical and computer-based devices that use a broad-bandwidth light beam for optical coherence tomography (OCT) to provide high-resolution images (e.g., 5 to 40 microns) of the coronary intravasculature. It typically consists of a main operator's console which includes a computer for image storage, keyboard/mouse controls, and a visual display unit (VDU); audio recording facilities; and a printer. The system includes an optical-imaging catheter which is connected to the console for transmission of the images from the intravascular site. The system may be used during interventional cardiology, radiology, or diagnostic angiography.
