Universal Patient Interface Module and Associated Devices, Systems, and Methods

An intravascular device system comprising:

• an intravascular device interface that has a first connector configured to interface with a proximal connector of an imaging intravascular device and a second connector configured to interface with a proximal connector of a physiology intravascular device;
• a rotational handpiece coupled to the intravascular device interface;
• a sled supporting the intravascular device interface so that the intravascular device interface is controllably moveable along an axis;
• and
• a plurality of user controls in communication with the rotational handpiece.

A method for using an intravascular imaging device to gather imaging data from within a patient, the intravascular imaging device being coupled to an intravascular device interface, the method comprising:

• receiving an intravascular imaging device in a first connector provided on the intravascular device interface;
• determining whether the intravascular imaging device received in the first connector is a rotational intravascular imaging device or a non-rotational intravascular imaging device;
• and
• configuring operational features on the intravascular device interface depending on the determination of whether the intravascular imaging device is a rotational intravascular imaging device or a non-rotational intravascular imaging device.
