        • Before creating an OCT recording, review “Performing an OCT Procedure” for additional warnings and cautions in the IFU.
           

        Precautions

        • Safety and effectiveness have been established for the following patient population: adult patients undergoing non-emergent percutaneous coronary interventions in lesions with reference vessel diameters between 2.0 to 3.5 mm, which are not located in the left main coronary artery or in a target vessel which has undergone previous bypass procedures.
        • Follow all instructions, warnings, and cautions provided in “Patient Safety” in the IFU.
        • All operators must be knowledgeable in performing OCT and physiological procedures prior to using the Ultreon 2.0 Software, OPTIS Next Imaging System, and the Dragonfly Imaging Catheter.
        • When using saline, heparinized saline is recommended.
        • Monitor the OCT image for indications of Dragonfly Imaging Catheter optical failure. If optical failure is suspected, remove the Dragonfly Imaging Catheter from the patient, press “Unload” on the drive motor and optical controller (DOC), detach the catheter, and replace it with a new one.
        • If the pullback triggers before contrast is injected, repeat the pullback.
        • For optimal imaging, only use 100% contrast media.
        • Use the minimum flush rate and volume required to image the desired anatomy.
        • To obtain accurate measurements, be sure the selection for the Flush Medium is the same as the medium in which you are imaging.
        • The Dragonfly Imaging Catheter must be purged prior to connection to the DOC to prevent damage to the imaging core.
        • Do not insert or remove the Dragonfly Imaging Catheter while the DOC is scanning. Do not attempt to disconnect the catheter from the DOC while the “lock” LED is blinking as it could damage the catheter or the DOC. Refer to “Removing the Dragonfly Imaging Catheter” in the IFU.
        • Never attempt to attach or detach a catheter to the DOC while the "lock" LED is lit.
        • Take care in handling the Dragonfly Imaging Catheter to prevent breaking the fiber-optics within the catheter. Kinking and bending of the catheter can cause damage. While connecting, ensure the proximal catheter segment is straight and aligned with the DOC. Never attempt to connect and operate the catheter while the catheter remains coiled within the hoop.
        • Do not kink, sharply bend, pinch, or crush the Dragonfly Imaging Catheter at any time.
        • The Dragonfly Imaging Catheter has no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair or alter any part of the catheter assembly as provided.
        • If you want to make measurements on files that will be exported to standard formats, you must make the measurements BEFORE exporting the images. Using non-OCT software to measure standard format images will not produce accurate measurements.
        • Do not use images that have been exported to JPEG or Compressed AVI formats for clinical decision making. These formats use compression methods that may degrade the image quality.
        • Artifacts may result in misrepresentation of L-mode data, so L-mode is not recommended for quantification of clinical information.
        • It is the user’s responsibility to confirm the lumen contours of all the frames within the reference segment, and to make adjustments if necessary. Red frames indicate low confidence in the detected contours.
        • Deleted files cannot be restored. After files have been deleted, they can only be imported back to your system from your archived copies.
        • Restoring factory default settings resets ALL user-entered configuration values except the date and time. This button should be used only under the direction of qualified service personnel.

        Scoreflex NC Scoring PTCA Catheter

        rx-only-logo

        INDICATIONS

        The Scoreflex NC Scoring PTCA Catheter is indicated for: Balloon dilatation of a de novo stenotic portion of a coronary artery and in-stent restenosis in coronary arteries in patients evidencing coronary ischemia for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion.

        CONTRAINDICATIONS

        The use of the Scoreflex NC Scoring PTCA Catheter is contraindicated in the following patient types:

        • Patients with an unprotected left main coronary artery.
        • Patients with coronary artery spasm in the absence of a significant stenosis.

        WARNINGS

        When using this type of device, the following warnings should be observed:

        • This device is intended for single use only. Do not resterilize and/or reuse, as this can potentially result in compromised device performance and increased risk of cross-contamination.
        • This balloon is not intended for the expansion or delivery of a stent.
        • PTCA in patients who are not acceptable candidates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery require careful consideration, including possible hemodynamic support during PTCA, as treatment of this patient population carries special risk.
        • To reduce the potential for vessel damage, the inflated diameter of the balloon should approximate the diameter of the vessel just proximal and distal to the stenosis.
        • When the catheter is exposed to the vascular system, it should be manipulated while under high-quality fluoroscopic observation. Do not advance or retract the catheter unless the balloon is fully deflated under vacuum. If resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of the resistance before proceeding. Applying excessive force to the catheter can result in tip or catheter breakage, catheter kink, or balloon separation.
        • Do not twist the catheter shaft in excess of 180 degrees when the tip is constrained.
        • Balloon pressure should not exceed the rated burst pressure (RBP) indicated on the package. The rated burst pressure is based on the results of in vitro testing. At least 99.9 percent of the balloons, (with a 95 percent confidence) will not burst at or below their rated burst pressure. Use of a pressure monitoring device is recommended to prevent over pressurization.
        • To reduce the potential for air embolus into the vessel, use only the recommended balloon inflation medium. Never use air or any gaseous medium to inflate the balloon.
        • Do not re-straighten a kinked hypotube; straightening a kinked metal shaft may result in breakage of the shaft.
        • PTCA should only be performed at hospitals where emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery can be quickly performed in the event of a potentially injurious or life-threatening complication.

        PRECAUTIONS

        • Use the catheter prior to the “Use By” date specified on the package.
        • Prior to angioplasty, the catheter should be examined to verify functionality and ensure that its size and shape are suitable for the specific procedure for which it is to be used.
        • The catheter system should be used only by physicians trained in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
        • During the procedure, appropriate anticoagulant and coronary vasodilator therapy must be provided to the patient as needed. After the procedure, anticoagulant therapy should be continued for a period of time as determined by the physician.
        • Never advance the Scoreflex NC Scoring PTCA Catheter without the guidewire extending from the tip.
        • Do not use oil-based contrast medium, organic solvents, or alcohols; there is a possibility of catheter leak, damage, or lubrication loss.
        • The balloon deflation time has been established as 15 seconds based on in vitro bench testing results.
        • Do not reinsert the PTCA catheter into the coil dispenser after procedural use.
        • Discard all disposable devices used during this procedure per local requirements for medical device waste disposal.
