Technology

The system is a full-featured ultrasound device providing high performance imaging and analysis, real-time 3D/4D imaging, various Doppler modes, elastography, and comprehensive networking and DICOM capability. It uses linear, curved linear, and matrix phased array transducers, including mechanical and electronic scanning, for real-time three-dimensional imaging supporting all standard acquisition modes.

Performance

The device underwent non-clinical tests including acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning and disinfection, thermal, electrical, electromagnetic and mechanical safety, demonstrating conformance with medical device safety standards. The device did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence. Quality assurance included risk analysis, requirement reviews, design reviews, unit and integration testing, performance and safety verification.
