What is it indicated for?
AmCAD-UV is a software device designed for classifying the ultrasonic color intensity data and allowing users to view classified color-coded signals, namely, primary pulsatile, secondary pulsatile, and unidentified signals of flow Doppler ultrasound images. It is intended as a general-purpose medical image processing tool for vascular pulsatility analysis but must not be used alone for primary diagnostic interpretation.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
