## Indications for use
VSMs trans-esophageal echocardiograph (TEE) ultrasound transducer is intended primarily for cardiology applications. Acuson Antares Ultrasound System The Acuson Antares ultrasound imaging system is intended for the following applications: Abdominal, lntraoperative, Small Parts, Transcrainial, OB/GYN, Cardiac, Intracardiac, Transesophageal, Pelvic, Neonatal/Adult Cephalic, Vascular, Intravascular, Musculoskeletal, Superficial Musculoskeletal, Great Vessel, and Peripheral Vascular applications. The system also provides for the measurement of anatomical structures and for analysis packages that provide information that is used for clinical diagnosis purposes. ACUSON CV7O Cardiovascular System The CV7O ultrasound imaging system is intended for the following applications: Abdominal, lntraoperative, Small Parts, Transcranial, OB/GYN, Cardiac. Intracardiac, Transesophageal, Pelvic, Neonatal/Adult Gephalic, Vascular, Intravascular, Musculoskeletal, Superficial Musculoskeletal, Great Vessel, and Peripheral Vascular applications. The system also provides for the measurement of anatomical structures and for analysis packages that provide information that is used for clinical diagnosis purposes. ACUSON Cypress Ultrasound System The Cypress platform is intended for use in the following applications: General Imaging and Cardiology for Fetal, Abdominal, lntraoperative (cardiac), Pediatrics, Neonatal Cephalic, Cardiac (adult, pediatric), Trans-esophageal, Peripheral Vessel, Intra-luminal and Intra-cardiac applications, and intended uses as defined in the FDA guidance document. The system also provides for the measurement of anatomical structures and for analysis packages that provide information that is used for clinical diagnosis purposes ACUSON 51000152000 Ultrasound System The S200TM ultrasound imaging systems are intended for the following applications: Fetal, Abdominal, Intraoperative, Pediatric, Small Parts, Transcranial, OB/GYN, Cardiac, Pelvic, Neonatal/Adult Cephalic, Vascular, Musculoskeletal, Superficial Musculoskeletal, and Peripheral Vascular applications. The system also provides the ability to measure anatomical structures (fetal, abdominal, intraoperative, intraoperative neurological, pediatric, small organ, neonatal cephalic, adult cephalic, cardiac, trans-esophageal, transrectal, transvaginal, peripheral vessel, musculoskeletal(conventional), musculo-skeletal (superficial) and neonatal cardiac} and calculation packages that provide information that provide information to the clinician that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes. The Arterial Health Package (AHP) software provides the physician with the capability to measure Intima Media 'Thickness and the option to reference normative tables that have been validated and published in peer-reviewed studies. The information is intended to provide the physician with an easily understood tool for communicating with patients, regarding state of their cardiovascular system. This feature should be utilized according to the "ASE Consensus Statement; Use of Carotid Ultrasound to Identify Subclinical Vascular Disease and Evaluate Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Consensus Statement from the American Association of Echocardiography; Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Task Force, Endorsed by the Society for Vascular Imaging." Acuson SC2000 Ultrasound System The SC2000 ultrasound imaging system is intended for the following applications: Cardiac, Neo-natal and Fetal Cardiac, Pediatric, Transespohageal, Adult Cephalic, Peripheral Vessel, lntraoperative 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 20 (B), 3D, M-Mode (M): Color Doppler (CD), Color Power Doppler (CPD), 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 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 2D (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 20 (8), Color Doppler (CD), Color Power Doppler (CPD), 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. lntraoperative 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 (CPD), and Pulsed Wave Doppler (PWD) 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 20 (B), Color Doppler (CD), Color Power Doppler (CPD), Pulsed Wave Doppler (PWD), and Continuous Wave Doppler (OWO) 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. ACUSON Sequoia Ultrasound System The Siemens ACUSON Sequoia ultrasound imaging system is intended for the following applications: General Imaging and Cardiology for Fetal, Abdominal, lntraoperative (abdominal and neurological), Pediatrics, Small Organs (breast, testes, thyroid and penis), Neonatal/Adult Cephalic, Cardiac (adult, pediatric, and neonatal), Trans-esophageal, Transrectal, Transvaginal, Peripheral Vessel, and Musculo-sceletal (superficial and conventional) applications, and intended uses as defined in the FDA guidance document. The system also provides for the measurement of anatomical structures and for analysis packages that provide information that is used for clinical diagnosis purposes. ACUSON X300 Ultrasound System The Siemens Acuson X300 ultrasound imaging system is intended for the following applications: General Radiology, Fetal, Abdominal, lntraoperative, Pediatric, Small Parts, Neonatal/Adult Cephalic, Cardiac, Transesophageal, Pelvic, Transcranial, OB/GYN, Urology, Vascular, Musculoskeletal, Superficial Musculoskeletal, and Peripheral Vascular applications.
