Diagnostic information
The images and calculations provided by the system are
intended as a diagnostic tool for competent users. They are
explicitly not to be regarded as the sole, irrefutable basis for
clinical diagnosis. Users are encouraged to study the literature
and reach their own professional conclusions regarding the
clinical utility of the system.
The user should be aware of the product specifications and
system accuracy and stability limitations. These limitations must
be considered before making any decision based on quantitative
values. If in doubt, consult the nearest GE Ultrasound Service
Office.
Equipment malfunction or incorrect settings can result in
measurement errors or failure to detect details in the image. The
user must become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the
system in order to optimize its performance and to recognize
possible malfunctions. Application training is available through
the sales representative.
The system provides calculations (e.g. estimated fetal weight)
and charts based on published scientific literature. The
selection of the appropriate chart and clinical interpretation of
calculations and charts is the sole responsibility of the user.
The user must consider contraindications for the use of a
calculation or chart as described in the scientific literature. The
diagnosis, decision for further examinations, and medical
treatment must be performed by qualified personnel following
good clinical practice.
Be certain to ensure the privacy of patient information.
