## Indications for use
Upon intravenous administration and use of an ICG drug product consistent with its approved label, the da Vinci Firefly Imaging System is intended to provide real-time endoscopic visible and near- infrared fluorescence imaging. The da Vinci Firefly Imaging System enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery using standard endoscopic visible light as well as visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion, and at least one of the major extra-hepatic bile ducts (cystic duct, common bile duct or common hepatic duct), using near infrared imaging. Fluorescence imaging of biliary ducts with the da Vinci Firefly Imaging System is intended for use with standard of care white light and, when indicated, intraoperative cholangiography. The device is not intended for standalone use for biliary duct visualization. Upon interstitial administration and use of an ICG drug product consistent with its approved label, the da Vinci Firefly Imaging System is used to perform intraoperative fluorescence imaging and visualization of the lymphatic system, including lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes.
