This coronary catheter was part of a project by James Muller and his company, InfraReDx, to develop a system for identifying vulnerable plaque using imaging in patients to aid in the prevention of acute coronary syndrome. This catheter dates from some of the early tests on human subjects. It was donated to the Harvard Medical Library in 2016 as part of the James Muller Papers (H MS c565).
