“Volcano experienced a solid increase in our FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) disposables business, including 25 and 29 percent on a reported and constant currency basis, respectively, highlighted by growth in Europe and Japan. In addition, our IVUS (Intravascular Imaging) revenues met our expectations, driven by a greater than 25 percent increase in peripheral imaging revenues versus the second quarter a year ago,” said Scott Huennekens, president and chief executive officer.
“We continue to achieve market share gains and are setting the stage for future growth with initiatives such as our iFR® (Instant Wave-Free Ratio) FFR technology. The launch of iFR in Europe is going very well and we just initiated our market launch in Japan. The outcomes to date from the study that will support our U.S. regulatory submissions have been encouraging. We also recently received FDA clearance for our new Verrata™ FFR wire, which will represent our fifth new guide wire in five years, and plan to initiate a full market release for Verrata later this year,” he added.
