Indications for Use: The IOPS (Intra-Operative Positioning System) is intended for the evaluation of vascular anatomy as captured via 3D modeling from previously acquired scan data. It is intended for real time tip positioning and navigation using sensor-equipped compatible catheters and guidewires used in endovascular intervention in the descending aorta. The system is indicated for use as an adjunct to fluoroscopy. The IOPS does not make a diagnosis. IOPS™ Guidewire 2 is a sensorized wire used to navigate through vasculature to facilitate placement of a catheter. The guidewire is a single-use, externally communicating device that comes into contact with circulating blood for a duration of less than or equal to 24 hours.
A long, thin, sterile wire intended to be percutaneously placed into the cardiac vasculature (ventricles or coronary vessels) to function as a guide for the introduction, positioning, and/or operation of a device (e.g., catheter, pacing lead); it may also be used in the peripheral vasculature. It may be made of metal (e.g., stainless steel, Nitinol), or polymer and/or glass materials to provide MRI-compatibility, with or without coating, and is available in a variety of distal tip designs. It is used for various diagnostic and interventional procedures, and may include devices used to facilitate manipulation (e.g., torque device). This is a single-use device.
