Read the full statement (193 words)

ARTIS is a family of dedicated angiography systems developed for single and biplane diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures including, but not limited to, pediatric and obese patients.

Procedures that can be performed with the ARTIS family include cardiac angiography, neuro-angiography, general angiography, rotational angiography, multipurpose angiography and whole body radiographic/fluoroscopic procedures as well as procedures next to the table for i.e. patient extremities. This does not include projection radiography.

Additional procedures that can be performed include angiography in the operating room, image guided surgery by X-ray, by image fusion, and by navigation systems. The examination table as an integrated part of the system can be used for X-ray imaging, surgery and interventions.

ARTIS can also support the acquisition of position triggered imaging for spatial data synthesis.

The ARTIS family include also the software option DynaCT with the following indications for use:

DynaCT is an X-ray imaging software option, which allows the reconstruction of two-dimensional images acquired with a standard angiographic C-arm device into a three-dimensional image format.

DynaCT is intended for imaging both hard and soft tissues as well as other internal body structures of diagnosis, surgical planning, interventional procedures and treatment follow-up.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
