What is it indicated for?
ArthroPlan™ is indicated for use by suitably licensed and qualified healthcare professionals requiring access to medical images to be used in conjunction with templates for prosthetic and fixation devices, for the purposes of choosing the size and geometry of the prosthetic/fixation device when planning a potential hip arthroplasty surgical procedure. Templating is done without alteration of the original image, using scaling and measurement tools in a digital environment, in conjunction with manufacturers’ templates available via the ArthroPlan library of digital templates for prosthetic and fixation devices.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
