The FibroScan® 230 is intended to provide shear wave speed measurements and estimates
of tissue stiffness as well as ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation
Parameter) in internal structures of the body. The shear wave speed and stiffness
measurements may be used as an aid to clinical management of adult patients with liver
disease.
The FibroScan® 230 is indicated for non-invasive measurement in the liver of 50 Hz shear
wave speed and estimates of stiffness as well as determining a 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient
of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter).
The shear wave speed and stiffness, and CAP may be used as an aid to diagnosis and
monitoring of adult patients with liver disease, as part of an overall assessment of the liver.
Shear wave speed and stiffness, and CAP may be used as an aid in the clinical management
of pediatric patients with liver disease.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
