## Indications for use
The SC2000 ultrasound imaging system is intended for the following applications: Cardiac, Neo-natal and Fetal Cardiac, Pediatric, Transespohageal, Adult Cephalic, Peripheral Vessel, Intraoperative Neurological, Musculo-skeletal Conventional, and Musculo-skeletal Superficial applications. The system also provides the ability to measure anatomical structures and calculation packages that provide information to the clinician that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes. The typical examinations performed using the SC2000 Ultrasound System are: Cardiac Imaging Applications and Analysis The system transmits ultrasound energy into adult, pediatric, neonatal, and fetal cardiac patients creating 2D (B), 3D, M-Mode (M), Color Doppler (CU), Color Power Doppler (GPO), Pulsed Wave (PW) Doppler, and Continuous Wave Doppler (CWD) to obtain images and blood flow velocity of the heart, cardiac valves, great vessels, and surrounding anatomical structures to evaluate the presence or absence of pathology, The system may be used to acquire patient electrocardiogram for synchronizing the diastolic and systolic capture of ultrasound Images. The system also supports catheters which are intended for intra-cardiac and intraluminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart of adult and pediatric patients. The system transmits ultrasound energy from either a transthoracic or transesophageal approach in adult and pediatric patients; and from a transthoracic approach in neonatal and fetal cardiac patients creating 2D (B), 3D, M-Mode (M), Color Doppler (CO), Color Power Doppler (CPO), Pulsed Wave (PW) Doppler, and Continuous Wave Doppler (OWO) to obtain images and blood flow velocity of the heart, cardiac valves, great vessels, and surrounding anatomical structures to evaluate the presence or absence of pathology. The system may be used to acquire patient electrocardiogram for synchronizing the diastolic and systolic capture of ultrasound images. The system has Cardiac Measurements and Calculation Packages that provide information that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes. Vascular Imaging Applications and Analysis The system transmits ultrasound energy into various parts of the body of adult patients creating 2D0(B), Color Doppler (CD), Color Power Doppler (CPD), Pulsed Wave Doppler (PWD), and Continuous Wave Doppler (CWD) to obtain images and blood flow velocity of the carotid arteries or juggler veins in the neck: superficial and deep veins and arteries in the arms and legs: and surrounding anatomical structures to evaluate the presence or absence of pathology. The system may be used to acquire patient electrocardiogram for synchronizing the diastolic and systolic capture of ultrasound images. The system has Vascular Measurements and Calculation Packages that provide information that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes. Superficial Imaging Applications The system transmits ultrasound energy into various parts of the body of adult patients creating 2D (B), Color Doppler (CD), Color Power Doppler (GPO), Pulsed Wave Doppler (PWD), and Continuous Wave Doppler (CWD) to obtain images and blood flow velocity of conventional or superficial musculoskeletal structures and surrounding anatomical structures to evaluate the presence or absence of pathology. The system may be used to acquire patient electrocardiogram for synchronizing the diastolic and systolic capture of ultrasound images. Intraoperative Imaging Applications The system transmits ultrasound energy into various parts of the body of adult patients creating 2D0(B), Color Doppler (CD), Color Power Doppler (CPD), and Pulsed Wave Doppler (EWO) to obtain images and blood flow velocity that provide guidance during neurological intraoperative procedures. Transcranial Imaging Applications The system transmits ultrasound energy into the cranium of adult patients creating 2D (B), Color Doppler (CD), Color Power Doppler (OPO), Pulsed Wave Doppler (PWO), and Continuous Wave Doppler (CWD) to obtain images and blood flow velocity of the brain and surrounding anatomical structures to evaluate the presence or absence of pathology. The system provides Measurement Packages that provide information that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes.
