What is it indicated for?
The IOPS (Intra-Operative Positioning System) is intended for the evaluation of vascular anatomy as captured via 3D modeling from previously acquired scan data. It is intended for real time tip positioning and navigation using sensor-equipped compatible catheters and guidewires used in endovascular interventions in the peripheral, aortic and aortic side branch vasculature. The system is indicated for use as an adjunct to fluoroscopy. The IOPS does not make a diagnosis.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
