Read the full statement (120 words)
The biocompatible ScanTac Membrane or Pad will be used during medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging to couple sound waves between the patient's body and medical imaging electronics by being affixed to the active element of the transducer. The ScanTac Pad is biocompatible, sterile, and, being solid, leaves no residue. It will be used for transcutaneous ultrasound imaging over surgical wounds, during transcutaneous biopsy and to enhance acoustic coupling to difficult geometries. The Pad is placed onto the patient, and is sufficiently adherent to remain in place during the scan due to the adhesive nature of the hydrogel. The exposed side of the hydrogel pad will be rendered lubricous with an application of ultrasound coupling sterile fluid, including ScanLube™, water or saline.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA 510(k) statement.
