The intended use of the EPIQ, EPIQ 5, EPIQ 7, Affiniti 30, Affiniti 50 and Affiniti 70 Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems is diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis of the human body with the following Indications for Use:
Abdominal, Cardiac Adult, Cardiac other (Fetal), Cerebral Vascular, Cephalic (Adult), Cephalic (Neonatal), Fetal/Obstetric, Gynecological, Intraoperative (Vascular), Intraoperative (Cardiac), Musculoskeletal (Conventional), Musculoskeletal (Superficial), Other: Urology, Pediatric, Peripheral Vessel, Small Organ (Breast, Thyroid, Testicle), Transesophageal (Cardiac), Transrectal, Transvaginal.
The clinical environments where the EPIQ and Affiniti Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems can be used include Clinics, Hospitals, and clinical point-of-care for diagnosis of patients.
When integrated with Philips EchoNavigator, the systems can assist the interventionalist and surgeon with image guidance during treatment of cardiovascular disease in which the procedure uses both live X-ray and live Echo Guidance.
The systems are intended to be installed, used, and operated only in accordance with the safety procedures and operating instructions given in the product user information, and only for the purposes for which it was designed. However, nothing stated in the user information reduces your responsibility for sound clinical judgement and best clinical procedure.
