Volcano IVUS

Volcano - IVUS Intravascular Ultrasound

The Volcano IVUS s5i system is a stand-alone fully functional catheter-based ultrasound system with an ultrasound imaging probe at the tip of a catheter that is used to image and measure inside the cardiovascular system. IVUS provides information about the vessel, including vessel / lumen diameter, lesion length, anatomical landmarks, and plaque composition.

The s5i system is designed to make IVUS more integrated into the interventionalist lab by the use of modular components that are connected to a remote CPU. The CPU can be located in the control room or equipment closet. Images can be displayed on one or more monitors, including a monitor on the boom.

  • Compact CPU and flexible location
  • Control panel features an integrated keyboard and mouse with mount in control room or on table rail. (Note- the Innova system does not currently control any features on the s5i)
  • Color LCD Monitor on Desk stand (19.1” Diagonal) for control room; Video output to multiple locations
  • Patient Interface Module for Catheter designed to hang on bed rail; Always active and ready for catheter connection and operation
  • Interface cables and documentation


VH™ IVUS

The VH™ IVUS *FUNCTIONALITY* provides lesion assessment in real-time in the procedure room or control room utilizing advanced spectral analysis. Using the same catheter and processing system, the Volcano VH *IVUS FUNCTIONALITY* provides additional clinical information.

VH™ IVUS Features:

  • Automated border contours -- fast, simple image interpretation
  • Automated lumen and vessel measurements to aid in diagnosis and planning
  • Colorized tissue map of plaque composition -- for complete lesion assessment
  • Data for VH™ IVUS is captured during normal IVUS run
  • Plaque composed into four categories:
    • Fibrous
    • Fibro-fatty
    • Necrotic Core
    • Dense Calcium
