BUSINESS SUMMARY 
Volcano Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and commercializes a suite of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and functional measurement (FM) products. Its IVUS products consist of ultrasound consoles, and single-procedure disposable phased array and rotational IVUS imaging catheters, as well as functionality options, such as virtual histology, IVUS tissue characterization, and ChromaFlo stent apposition analysis. The company’s FM products include consoles, and pressure and flow guide wires to measure the pressure and flow characteristics of blood around plaque enabling physicians to gauge the plaque’s physiological impact on blood flow and pressure. It also involves in developing forward-looking IVUS, catheters, image-guided therapy catheters, and ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography systems and catheters. The company markets its IVUS consoles as stand-alone units or customized units that can be integrated into various hospital-based interventional surgical suites called catheterization laboratories. It offers its products to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of vascular heart diseases by improving the efficiency and efficacy of existing percutaneous interventional (PCI) therapy procedures in the coronary or peripheral arteries. The company serves physicians and technicians who perform PCI procedures in hospitals, and other personnel who make purchasing decisions on behalf of hospitals through its direct sales force and distributors, as well as through supply and distribution agreements with third parties. As of December 31, 2008, Volcano Corporation had installed 3,200 IVUS consoles and 800 FM consoles. Volcano Corporation was formerly known as Volcano Therapeutics, Inc. The company was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in San Diego, California.
