The GE EchoPAC workstation is indicated for diagnostic review and analysis of ultrasound images acquired under various modes of operation including B, M, Color M modes, Color, Power, Pulsed & CW Doppler modes, Coded Pulse, Harmonic and Realtime 3D. Clinical applications include: Fetal: Abdominal (including renal and GYN); Urology (including prostate); Pediatric: Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid); Neonatal and Adult Cephalic; Cardiac (adult and pediatric); Peripheral Vascular; Transesophageal (TEE); Musculo-skeletal Conventional; Tranarectal (TR); Transvaginal (TV); and Intraoperative (abdominal, thoracic, &vascular).
The device may include EchoPilot reporting software which provides guidance to support the quality of the echocardiography examination and report. It compares patient data, user entered clinical data and measurements to generally accepted guidelines and studies, and helps to identify mismatches, inconsistencies and unusual or missing data. It can generate a preliminary data analysis that can be used as basis for the examination report.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
