Infraredx, Inc. is a medical device manufacturer focused on intravascular imaging that helps clinicians assess coronary artery disease and plaque characteristics. Its Makoto imaging system and the Dualpro IVUS+NIRS catheter combine ultrasound and spectroscopy to identify patients and plaques associated with higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, and the products have FDA clearance for this purpose. Based in Bedford, Massachusetts, Infraredx operates as a Nipro Company, reflecting its corporate affiliation within a broader medical devices group. Its customers are primarily interventional cardiology teams at hospitals and clinics that perform coronary interventions, using the technology to map disease and guide treatment decisions. In 2021 the company announced a collaboration with B. Braun Interventional Systems to accelerate an FDA IDE trial for the SeQuent Please ReX drug-coated balloon catheter, illustrating ongoing development with device manufacturers. Infraredx has also expanded its US product lineup with the OKAY II Y-Connector, a device that originated in Japan and is now available in the United States.
