What is it indicated for?
smart-sync is intended to generate a gating signal for MR scanners (1.5T and 3T) for motion compensation by detecting the heartbeat of a patient using Doppler ultrasound. Thus, smart-sync is intended to improve the image quality by reducing movement artefacts for MR images of the whole body, where motion compensation of the heart movement is necessary.
smart-sync is intended to be used on pregnant women, where the fetus is examined. smart-sync is also intended to be used for adult MR examinations.
smart-sync is not intended to monitor any physiological parameters.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
