Csi diamondback 360 cardiology clear plaque arteries
This machine has only been used a few times in it's life. It was bought in 2008 and used less then a dozen times and the doctor left the hospital system. It doesn't come with any of the disposables but the machine is running fine, hook up a nitrogen tank to it and off you go. It is pristine and i'd say mint condition, touchscreen control. Below is info from the manufacturers website.

A Single Answer to a Complex Disease
The Diamondback 360 PAD System is a minimally invasive catheter-based platform capable of treating a broad range of plaque types in peripheral arteries both above and below the knee and addresses many of the limitations associated with existing treatment alternatives.
* Ability to Treat Hip to Toes
* Unique Mechanism of Action
* Intelligent Differential Sanding
Multiple crown configurations, including a lighter weight Classic Crown and a heavier weight Solid Crown with sizes ranging from 1.25 to 2.25 mm, provide versatility for treating a variety of lesions, including:
* Above the knee, popliteal and below the knee lesions (including below the ankle)
* Diffuse, complex disease and non-compliant plaque morphologies, including fibrotic and calcified
* Chronic total occlusions (intraluminal passage of wire needed)
* Ostial lesions and tortuous sections
The Diamondback 360 PAD System operates on the priniciples of centrifugal force. Centrifugal force (crown mass X orbital speed2 /orbit radius) causes the crown to orbit while advancing through the lesion. As the crown rotation increases, centrifugal force presses the crown against the plaque and sands it into tiny particles with each orbit. More than 99% of the particles (99% CI) are smaller than a red blood cell and they are washed away with the patient s blood flow.
Intelligent Differential Sanding
As the diamond-coated crown orbits within the vessel using centrifugal force, the crown presses against and sands away the hardened plaque, while the elastic, more compliant tissue flexes away from the crown and leaves the non-diseased tissue intact. By removing the hardened plaque and changing the compliance of the lesion with the Diamondback 360 first, low-pressure balloon angioplasty can be used to finish the procedure, which may reduce the potential for barotrauma to the vessel. The result of the procedure is a smooth, concentric and open vessel that appears to be a normal size and allows robust blood flow.
