## Indications for use
The ACUSON P500 ultrasound imaging system is intended to provide images of, or signals from, inside the body by an appropriately trained healthcare professional in a clinical setting for the following applications: Fetal, Abdominal (including liver), Pediatric, Small Parts, Transcranial, Transesophageal, OB/GYN(useful for visualization of ovaries, follicles, uterus and other pelvic structures), Lung, Pelvic, Neonatal Cephalic, Cardiac, Intra Cardiac, Vascular(including Peripheral Vessel), Musculoskeletal, Superficial Musculoskeletal and Urology applications. The system also provides the ability to measure anatomical structures and calculation packages that provide information to the clinician that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes. The Arterial Health Package (AHP) software provides the physician with the capability to measure Intima Media Thickness and the option to reference normative tables that have been validated and published in peer-reviewed studies. The information is intended to provide the physician with an easily understood tool for communicating with patients regarding state of their cardiovascular system. Note: This feature should be utilized according to the "ASE Consensus Statement; Use of Carotid Ultrasound to Identify Subclinical Vascular Disease and Evaluate Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Consensus Statement from the American Society of Echocardiography Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Task Force. Endorsed by the Society for Vascular imaging."
