What is it indicated for?
The Ocelot System is intended to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond stenotic lesions (including sub and chronic total occlusions) in the peripheral vasculature prior to further percutaneous intervention using OCT-assisted orientation and imaging. The system is an adjunct to fluoroscopy by providing images of vessel lumen and wall structures. The Ocelot System is contraindlicated for use in the iliac, coronary, cerebral, renal or carotid vasculature.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
