Boston Scientific MDU5 Plus Motor Drive Unit

Boston Scientific MDU5 PLUS Motor Drive Unit — Precision-Engineered for Superior IVUS Performance

Elevate your intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) procedures with the Boston Scientific MDU5 PLUS Motor Drive Unit, purpose-built to deliver exceptional image quality, streamlined operability, and uncompromised sterility in every case.

Engineered for Seamless Integration & Peak Performance

Integrated Mechanical & Electrical Connection — Designed with precision, the MDU5 PLUS features a robust mechanical drive socket paired with an electrical interface that ensures fast, reliable coupling with imaging catheters like the OPTICROSS HD or OPTICROSS 6 HD, minimizing setup time and maximizing procedural efficiency.

• Optimized Imaging Control via Telescoping Design

Telescoping Shaft with Fluoroscopy Markers — The catheter’s telescoping assembly allows up to 15 cm of smooth linear movement of the imaging core, enabling precise pullback control. Dual radiopaque and graduated 1 cm markers furnish accurate lesion length estimation under fluoroscopic guidance. 

Built-In Flush Port with One-Way Check Valve — Enables maintenance of acoustic coupling media within the catheter lumen. This ensures consistent imaging quality while reducing risks of air-induced artifacts during IVUS pulls.

User-Centered Design for Workflow Efficiency

Click-In Hub Alignment — The interface makes an audible “click” when the catheter hub is correctly secured to the MDU5 PLUS, reinforcing correct placement and boosting confidence during critical procedural moments. 

Pullback Sled Compatibility — The system can be used in manual or automatic pullback modes with the optional sled accessory, providing flexibility tailored to procedural preference. 

Built for Safety, Sterility & Clinical Reliability

Sterile Field Protection — The specialized MDU5 PLUS Sterile Bag enables two-person sterile handling (one inside and one outside the sterile field), ensuring aseptic cover for the device while maintaining full functionality. 

Pre-Flushing Protocol — A rigorous flushing process with heparinized saline (typically two 3 cc flushes) is required to eliminate air and prime the imaging core—essential for preventing image degradation and ensuring patient safety. 

Clinical-Grade Durability & Operational Assurance

Robust Device Design — Crafted by Boston Scientific to exacting standards, the MDU5 PLUS is backed by meticulous manufacturing and quality assurance, delivering consistent performance when it matters most. 

Guided Sterile Handling Procedures — Detailed sterile covering instructions and reuse protocols safeguard sterility and integrity throughout multiple insertions, underscoring Boston Scientific’s commitment to procedural safety and usability.
