GE Healthcare, Innova 2121IQ, Innova 3131IQ Cardiovascular X-ray imaging systems. K060259: The Innova 3131IQ (3131-IQ) and 2121 IQ (2121-IQ) biplane systems are indicated for use in generating fluoroscopic images of human anatomy for vascular angiography, diagnostic and interventional procedures, and optionally, rotational angiography procedures. They are also indicated for generating fluoroscopic images of human anatomy for cardiology, diagnostic, and interventional procedures. They are intended to replace fluoroscopic images obtained through image intensifier technology. These devices are not intended for mammography applications. K061163: For Innova 2121IQ, Innova 3131IQ, Innova 4100, Innova 4100IQ, Innova 3100, Innova 3100IQ, Innova 2100IQ devices with Innova IVUS option: The Innova systems are indicated for use in generating fluoroscopic images of human anatomy for vascular angiography, diagnostic and interventional procedures, and optionally, rotational imaging procedures. They are also indicated for generating fluoroscopic images of human anatomy for cardiology, diagnostic, and interventional procedures. They are intended to replace fluoroscopic images obtained through image intensifier technology. Those devices are not intended for mammography applications. Innova IVUS Option: The Innova IVUS software option simplifies the clinical workflow associated with the use of Volcano IVUS products by: (1) automatically synchronizing the patient demographic information (patient name, date of birth, DICOM attributes etc.) from Innova system with an IVUS imaging system, (2) providing a remote access to commonly used IVUS functions from the Innova table side user interface, (3) displaying the IVUS images on the multi-monitor display of the Innova cathlab system. K091658: The Innova systems are indicated for use in generating fluoroscopic images of human anatomy for vascular angiography, diagnostic and interventional procedures, and optionally, rotational imaging procedures. They are also indicated for generating fluoroscopic images of human anatomy for cardiology, diagnostic, and interventional procedures. They are intended to replace fluoroscopic images obtained through image intensifier technology. These devices are not intended for mammography applications.
