Intravascular imaging may just have become easier for Boston Scientific (Marlborough, MA) iLAB customers.
The company has launched a more powerful imaging device that could also reduce confusing workflows, shorten procedure times, and ease image interpretation,according to a press release. Physicians, nurses, technicians, and software design experts advised the company on the design.
The Polaris system will support the company’s intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters, including coronary, peripheral and intra-cardiac echo devices. It was also designed to accommodate imaging products that the company has yet to release, including a fractional flow reserve (FFR) wire, additional IVUS catheters, updated software and system control tools, the company said.
The Polaris system has CE Mark and FDA 510(k) clearance.
Last week, Boston Scientific announced gaining the CE Mark for its 25-mm Lotus aortic valve. Earlier this week, it announced FDA approval for its Rebel bare-metal stent.
