Intended use
Diagnostic ultrasound
The SonoSite iViz Ultrasound System is a general purpose ultrasound system and non-continuous patient monitoring platform intended for use in clinical care by qualified physicians and healthcare professionals for evaluation by ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis.
In the ultrasound scanning application, the SonoSite iViz system with an attached transducer obtains ultrasound images as described below:
Abdominal imaging applications are designed to assess the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, bile ducts, transplanted organs, abdominal vessels, and surrounding anatomical structures for the presence or absence of pathology transabdominally. Abdominal imaging can be used to evaluate the presence or absence of blood flow in abdominal organs.
Cardiac imaging applications are designed to assess the pericardial effusion or cardiac tamponade possibility, cardiac valves, the great vessels, heart size, cardiac function, lung, and surrounding anatomical structures for the presence or absence of pathology.
Obstetrical imaging applications are designed to assess the fetal anatomy, viability, estimated fetal weight, fetal heart rate, fetal position, gestational age, amniotic fluid, and surrounding anatomical structures for the presence or absence of pathology transabdominally.
About SonoSite iViz |
