Note: The US FDA guidance document "Information for Manufacturers Seeking Market Clearance
of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers" dated September 9, 2008 classifies
intravascular ultrasound within the application(s) "Fetal Imaging & Other" to determine the
maximum allowable acoustic output energy. The catheter is not intended for fetal imaging.

ACOUSTIC OUTPUT – COMPLIANCE TO IEC 60601-2-37
Prudent-Use Statement
It is the responsibility of the system operator to understand the risk of the acoustic outputs
generated by the Imaging System and its associated imaging catheters. It is also the operator's
responsibility to act appropriately to mitigate such risks. To that end, Boston Scientific Corporation
has reported Mechanical and/or Thermal Indices that may exceed the requirements of
IEC 60601-2-37.
Please note that the Mechanical Index (MI) displayed on the system's screen has not been corrected
for finite amplitude effects.
Imaging Catheter Information
Acoustic Power Output varies between different models of imaging catheters. Each imaging
catheter supplied by Boston Scientific Corporation is supplied with Directions for Use (DFUs) that
include statements and tables specifying their acoustic power outputs.
IEC requirements for measurements and definition of terms may be found in IEC 60601-2-37 –
"Particular requirements for the safety of ultrasonic medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment."
Where Mechanical and/or Thermal Indices are reported, the MI/TI is displayed on the lower right of
the IVUS image next to the imaging catheter identification.
