For Use only by Trained Medical Personnel
Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Only
physicians or other persons with adequate medical training in catheter insertion
procedures should use the Volcano system. Only those personnel who are familiar with
its operation and who have been trained to perform the procedures for which this device
is intended should use the system.
System Use Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION: For the Volcano CORE system, you can easily roll it by holding the
hand grips on either side of the Control Console. Do not exceed a slow walking
pace when moving the system to reduce risk of causing the unit to topple which
may cause significant damage and/or operator injury.
CAUTION: A tipping hazard may occur if the unit is pushed while wheels are
immobilized.
The Volcano system supplies diagnostic information when used in conjunction
with the Volcano imaging catheters during ultrasonic imaging of peripheral and
coronary vasculature. It is intended to be used as an adjunct to conventional
angiographic procedures or interventional therapies such as balloon angioplasty.

Page 10 of 148 300004969171/B
CAUTION: Although the components are spill-resistant, avoid spilling or
dropping any foreign material onto components. It is important to be especially
careful with the keyboard, controller, CPU and the monitor.
The bedside-mounted Volcano system equipment complies with the fluid
ingress requirements of IEC60529 (IPX4 for Control Console II and all other
bedside peripherals) when configured for normal use. The bedside-mounted
Volcano equipment should be located under a sterile drape when configured for
normal use.
WARNING: The Volcano system must be properly grounded to avoid electrical
shock. To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to
a supply mains with protective earth.
WARNING: To prevent compromising patient isolation, the Volcano system
console operator must not simultaneously touch the patient and/or any implanted
catheter or guide wire and any part of the Volcano system mobile cart or
computer chassis or connector interface.
NOTE: Within the U.S.A., a hospital-grade receptacle must be used.
WARNING: Hand crush/pinch potential when positioning device parts.
CAUTION: The Volcano system must have the original cord, or installed
electrical power in an Volcano integrated system must be used at all times. The
Volcano systems are protected against the voltages of defibrillation; still, we
recommend that you disconnect the catheter from the patient interface module
prior to defibrillation.
CAUTION: Grounding reliability can only be achieved when equipment is
connected to an equivalent receptacle marked “hospital only” or “hospital grade.”
CAUTION: Do not obstruct access to the main power cord when plugged into
wall socket.
CAUTION: Do not connect Volcano equipment to non-medical grade or un-
grounded power strip, especially when shared with non-medical grade
equipment.
For cardiac catheterization applications, the Volcano system must be connected
to the potential equalization system of the hospital room.
CAUTION: The Volcano system is a high-gain wide-band patient connected
intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) system intended for use during diagnostic or
interventional percutaneous coronary or peripheral procedures. As such, the
system is susceptible to in-band (5-60MHz) reciprocal interfering
signals. Reciprocal interference is non-synchronous to the IVUS system and
typically transient in nature. When local intensities are sufficiently high, non-
synchronous in-band transient interference will be visible on the IVUS display as
random “speckle” like noise, or faint, intermittent radial spokes or rings. This
type of electromagnetic interference is an annoyance to the operator but typically
does not render the device unusable. Non-transient (modulated continuous wave
transmitters) with in-band center frequency carriers can, under high local

300004969171/B Page 11 of 148
intensity levels, “white out” the IVUS image. Under this extreme condition the
IVUS system is rendered in-operable. Whenever electromagnetic interference
renders the IVUS system inoperable, the appropriate action is to identify the
source of the interfering signal and reduce the in-band local intensity levels
sufficient to operate the IVUS system.
CAUTION: This device is not intended for use in the presence of flammable
substances which could cause combustion.
CAUTION: The Volcano system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment and if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the system should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
WARNING: Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect
MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. See Chapter 18, Technical Specifications
for the recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the Volcano Model equipment.
WARNING:The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those
specified, with the exception of transducers and cables sold by the manufacturer
of the system as replacement parts for internal components, may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the system.
WARNING: Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital
interfaces must be certified according to the respective IEC standards (i.e. IEC
60950 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1:2005 for medical
equipment). Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the system
standard IEC 60601-1, Clause 16. Anyone who connects additional equipment
to the signal input part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is
therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements of IEC
60601-1-1:2000. If in doubt, consult the technical services department or your
local representative. In specific, AC Mains powered devices are not
recommended unless approved and installed by Volcano Corporation.
WARNING: Changes to IT-networks including network configuration updates,
equipment disconnection, equipment update or upgrade, or additional equipment
connection to IT-networks could result in previously unidentified risks to
patients, operators, or third parties.
CAUTION: Non-medical equipment supplied as part of the Volcano Imaging
System is intended to be connected to a multiple socket-outlet isolation
transformer. If any Volcano or customer-supplied equipment is connected
directly to a wall outlet or a multi-socket outlet, this may result in excessive
leakage current per IEC 60601-1 and presents a risk of electric shock to the
operator and/or patient. The user must verify that the leakage current remains
below the IEC 60601-1 limits.
WARNING: Do not connect a multiple socket-outlet or extension cord to the
system. This may exceed the safety limits of the system and void the warranty.
WARNING: The Volcano system contains no user-serviceable components. To
avoid electric shock, do not remove any panels or covers. In the event of
malfunction or system damage, turn the system off, unplug the system from the
power receptacle, and contact a qualified service person and Volcano Customer
Service.

Page 12 of 148 300004969171/B
WARNING: No modification of this equipment is allowed.
WARNING: This instrument is NOT explosion proof. This instrument has
been designed and manufactured to minimize the hazard, but the risk, although
low, has not been completely eliminated. An explosion risk can exist in
sufficiently high atmospheric concentrations of such anesthetics or agents,
mixed with air, or with oxygen or with nitrous oxide. The probability of
occurrence of the ignition of such anesthetic mixtures depends upon their
concentration, the appropriate minimum ignition energy, the presence of high
surface temperatures, and the energy of sparking. Sparks can be caused where
electrical circuits are opened or closed by the operation of switches, connectors,
fuses, or over-current releases and the like.
Operator action: The operator shall observe care when using this instrument in
areas in which flammable anesthetics or flammable agents for disinfection or
cleaning are applied. In the event, the atmospheric concentrations of the
flammable agents are elevated, the unit should not be powered OFF if running, or
should not be powered ON if it is OFF.
PIM Use Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION: All bedside mounted peripherals should be securely placed to avoid
injury to the user or patient.
CAUTION: The patient interface module’s magnetic strip, which allows it to be
attached to various surfaces during use, can damage audiotapes, computer tapes,
computer disks, and other magnetically sensitive components. Do not place the
PIM near these items.
CAUTION: Do not damage the PIM’s cable by rolling equipment on it or using
excessive force when disconnecting it.
CAUTION: If you drop the PIM, you may cause permanent damage to the
external packaging and internal electronics. Do not use the system if the outer
case of the module appears damaged.
CAUTION:The PIM should not be placed below the IV pole where liquids may
drip into the catheter connector and cause damage.
CAUTION:The PIM cable is susceptible to damage if not stored properly. Never
let the PIM cable lay on the floor. Store the PIM cable in a manner where the
connector end cannot be damaged by personnel, gurneys or table
movements. There must be sufficient slack in the cable when stored on the table
to avoid binding during table movements.
CAUTION: If the PIM, SpinVision (PIMr), and/or Pimmette are moved while
being used with a patient and causes the catheter to be displaced in the body,
there is significant risk to the patients’ safety. Please ensure that the PIM,
SpinVision (PIMr), and/or Pimmette are securely placed at all times.

Chapter 1: Overview
Introduction
The Volcano Precision Guided Therapy System provides qualitative and quantitative
evaluation of vascular morphology in the coronary arteries and vessels of the peripheral
vasculature. It is also indicated as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to
provide an image of vessel lumen and wall structures.
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) utilizes the acoustic impedance of vascular structures to
provide cross sectional images from inside the vessel. The IVUS catheter uses a
transducer near the distal tip to emit and receive high frequency sound waves.
Figure 1: IVUS catheter within vessel
The system is then able to analyze the signal that is received by the transducer to
differentiate between vessel structures to produce a 360º cross sectional image.

300004969171/B Page 15 of 148
Figure 2: Grayscale IVUS image
These grayscale images can then be enhanced using VH IVUS.
VH analysis provides automatic border detection for the vessel and lumen borders, as
well as plaque composition. Plaque is automatically classified into four categories in
order to simplify interpretation of the IVUS image:
FI Fibrous (green)
FF Fibro-Fatty (light green)
NC Necrotic Core (red)
DC Dense Calcium (white)

Alternatively, the ChromaFlo feature can be used to identify the blood flow.
The ChromaFlo feature uses patented technology to provide a visual depiction of blood
flow through the vessel. This is accomplished by overlaying a two-dimensional color
mapping of relative blood flow velocity onto the grayscale ultrasound image.

Indications for Use
The Volcano Precision Guided Therapy System is used for the qualitative and quantitative
evaluation of vascular morphology in the coronary arteries and vessels of the peripheral
vasculature. It is also indicated as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to
provide an image of vessel lumen and wall structures.
ChromaFlo is indicated for qualitative blood flow information from peripheral and
coronary vasculature; flow information can be an adjunct to other methods of estimating
blood flow and blood perfusion.
VH IVUS is intended to be used in conjunction with imaging catheters during diagnostic
ultrasound imaging of the peripheral and coronary vasculature. The Volcano VH IVUS
system is intended to semi-automatically visualize boundary features and perform spectral
analysis of RF ultrasound signals of vascular features that the user may wish to examine
more closely during routine diagnostic ultrasound imaging examinations.
The pressure feature is intended for use in all blood vessels, including coronary and
peripheral arteries, to measure intravascular blood pressure during diagnostic angiography
and/or interventional procedures.
Rotational 45MHz feature is intended for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of
vascular morphology in the coronary arteries and vasculature. As an adjunct to
conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of the vessel lumen and wall
structures. The pullback feature of the SpinVision (PIMr) withdraws the imaging core
within the protective sheath for a maximum of 15 cm.

Page 18 of 148 300004969171/B
Clinical Applications
The system is used to evaluate vascular morphology and measure blood pressure in the
coronary arteries and vessels of the peripheral vasculature.
Contraindications
Use of the Volcano system is contraindicated wherever tissue or organ damage is a
reasonable probability.
The catheter is not for fetal use.
Possible Adverse Reactions
The use of the Volcano IVUS imaging catheter—or any percutaneous intravascular
catheter—could result in adverse reactions, including, but not limited to:
Bleeding at the entry puncture site
Injury to vascular wall
Thrombosis of the vessel
Peripheral embolization
