DEVICE: AptiVue™ (05415067030108)

A dedicated computer designed to calculate, store, and analyse haemodynamic parameters, and other cardiac-related measurements, based on data from catheterization laboratory monitoring/recording. Such data can be pressure measurements that are converted into useful parameters, e.g., cardiac output, pressure gradients, valve areas, shunt flows, vascular resistance, diastolic filling period or systolic ejection period. The computer may store these values chronologically, along with other physiologic events that occur during the procedure. This GMDN code may reflect old technology; its functions may be performed using off-the-shelf computer ware and dedicated software.

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.
