## Indications for use
The Ziehm Vision RFD 3D system is intended for use in providing both 2D and 3D medical imaging for all adult and pediatric populations, using pulsed and continuous fluoroscopic imaging. The device provides 2D medical imaging for fluoroscopy, digital subtraction, and acquisition of cine loops during diagnostic interventional and surgical procedures where intra-operative imaging and visualization of complex anatomical structures of both lower and higher contrast density are required. Such procedures may include but are not limited to those of interventional cardiology, heart surgery, hybrid procedures, interventional radiology, interventional angiography, electrophysiology, pediatrics, endoscopic, urological, gastroenterology, orthopedic, maxillofacial surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, critical care, emergency room procedures, and those procedures visualizing structures of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine and joint fractures of the upper and lower extremities, and where digital image data is required for Computer-Assisted Surgery procedures. The device is also intended to provide 3D medical imaging of patients during orthopedic, neurological, intra-operative surgical procedures and where the clinician benefits from 3D visualization of complex anatomical structures, such as but not limited to those of high contrast objects, bones, joints, maxillofacial, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine, pelvis, acetabulum and joint fractures of the upper and lower extremities, and where digital image and C-arm positioning data is required for Computer-Assisted Surgery procedures. The visualization of such anatomical structures assists the clinician in the clinical outcome. At the discretion of a physician, the device may be used for other imaging applications. This device does not support direct radiographic film exposures and is not intended for use in performing mammography. The system is not intended for use near MRI systems.
