Affected Products

TVC Imaging System model TVC-MC9 , for the near-infrared examination of coronary arteries in patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography The TVC Imaging System is an intravascular imaging device that simultaneously assesses vessel composition and structure using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). This dual-modality instrument performs near-infrared spectroscopic analysis of the vessel to detect lipid core-containing plaques of interest (LCP) displayed in a map called a Chemogram, and simultaneously generates high resolution IVUS images that display structural details of the vessel and plaque in transverse and longitudinal views

Quantity: 7 units
