The intended use of the Sonopsy LA System is as a diagnostic ultrasound imaging system of the human body as follows:
Mode of Operation: B-Mode,
Clinical Application: Small Organ (breast, thyroid, testes)
Abdominal
The Sonopsy LA System is indicated for use as an adjunct to mammography for B-mode ultrasonic imaging of a patient's breast when used with an automatic scanning annular array transducer. Automatic scanning obtains multiple, sequential two-dimensional images which can be compiled into a three-dimensional data set for viewing in three planes. The system is intended to be used for the real-time ultrasonic guidance of needle aspiration and biopsy procedures of breast lesions.
The Sonopsy LA System is indicated for the diagnostic ultrasound B-mode imaging of small organs (breast, thyroid, testes) and the abdomen when used with the hand-held linear array scanhead.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
