CLARITY. DEPTH. CERTAINTY. THE NEW EXTENDED BANDWIDTH DIFFERENCE With standard intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), practitioners currently make a trade-off between image clarity and signal penetration. These compromises can make a difference when trying to accurately assess a vessel and interpret the image for optimal treatment. Established in 1999 by cardiologist Dr. James Muller, Infraredx is Infraredx has developed the dual modality Advanced TVC Imaging driven to transform global standards of cardiovascular medicine. System™, the first and only FDA approved advanced imaging There’s only one choice when it comes to a single, uncompromised image: the Advanced TVC Imaging System™. Harnessing 30 years of research into the association between system that provides today’s clinical practitioner with a compre- • Proprietary Extended Bandwidth technology harmonizes multiple signal frequencies. The result is a sharp image of the complete vessel that allows for easy identification of the lumen, plaque and vessel structure. heart attacks and lipid core plaque, Infraredx has been committed hensive map of vessel structure and plaque composition. With since its founding to the design, manufacture, and distribution of investment in several landmark global clinical trials, Infraredx’s technologies that address the needs of practitioners and improve mission is to enable interventional cardiologists to predict heart outcomes in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. attacks and prevent them. • The Extended Bandwidth transducer detects the size, shape, and borders of vessels and plaques in fine detail and high contrast, coregistered with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) compositional data. • The Extended Bandwidth composite display provides a clear, easy-to-interpret map for identifying high-risk patients with high-risk plaques.
