Devices, systems, and methods for authenticated intravascular device use and reuse
Devices, systems, and methods for reconditioning an intravascular device for reuse are provided. The method includes reading first security data from a memory of the intravascular device; determining if the intravascular device is authentic; generating second security data, when the intravascular device is authentic; and writing the second security data to the memory of the intravascular device. Devices, systems, and methods for authenticating an intravascular device for use are also provided. The method includes bringing an intravascular device into communication with a computing device, the intravascular device including a memory; determining if first security data is authentic; determining, when the first security data is authentic, if the intravascular device has been reconditioned; determining, when the intravascular device has been reconditioned, if the second security data is authentic base; and permitting, when second security data is authentic, use of the intravascular device in the clinical procedure.
1. A system for managing use of intraluminal devices for placement in a patient's body, the system comprising:
a computing device configured for communication with an intraluminal device; and
a memory in communication with the computing device and the intraluminal device, wherein the computing device is configured to:
determine whether first security data stored in the memory is authenticated;
determine whether the intraluminal device has been reconditioned;
in response to determining that the first security data is authenticated and that the intraluminal device has not been reconditioned;
write use data to the memory, wherein the use data corresponds to a number of authenticated uses of the intraluminal device at a first time and is modified to include the first security data specific to one or more authenticated uses; and
read the use data written on the memory at a second time to determine usage of the intraluminal device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the intraluminal device is a disposable device.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the intraluminal device is a guidewire or a catheter.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory is disposed within the intraluminal device.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a patient interface module in communication with and between the computing device and the memory.
6. The system of claim 3 , wherein the catheter comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of: an image sensor, a pressure sensor, a flow sensor, and a combination thereof.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured, in response to determining that the intraluminal device has been reconditioned, to determine whether second security data stored in the memory is authenticated, wherein the second security data is based on the first security data and reconditioning data.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the computing device is configured:
in response to determining that the second security data is authenticated, write reconditioned use data to the memory; and
in response to determining that the second security data is not authenticated, deny access to the memory.
