StentBoost - Software

Reason

In the intended use of the instructions for use the following claim is made: StentBoost assists in stent selection by providing a measurement tool which the operator can use to measure the lesion. However, StentBoost cannot assist in the selection of a stent, because the measurement function is only available after placement of the stent. Please note that the primary use of StentBoost for enhanced stent visualization is not affected. Correct intended use is added to the section "advice on actions by customer/user." This issue does not pose any risk to health of patients, users or bystanders.
