NOTE: Non-GE probes may also bear the UDI mark and equivalent
information.
Intracardiac Ultrasound Catheters
The ICE ultrasound catheters are sterile, disposable, and
licensed for single use only.
The catheters are optimized for intracardiac scanning. The
catheters are a single-plane, 90-degree, wide-view imaging
format catheter device with 64 channels that can transmit and
receive data simultaneously.
With catheter, the physician can maneuver the imaging plane
located inside the catheter tip to see the region of interest. The
physician can steer the catheter to optimize tissue visualization.
The user can steer the tip of the catheter bidirectionally in two
planes: left/right and posterior/anterior. The active face of the
catheter faces anteriorly, and the scanning plane is longitudinal.
The reusable ICEcord-RS cable connects the catheter to the
Vivid S70 / S60 system.
NOTE: The reusable ICEcord-RS cable is equivalent to the SwiftLink™
ICE probe catheter connector cable. This cable is designed
exclusively for use with the ICE ultrasound catheters on Vivid
S70 / S60.
The SoundStarTM 3D 10F, SoundStar eco 10F, and SoundStar
eco 8F ultrasound catheters are intended to operate when the
Vivid S70 / S60 is interfaced to the CartoSound. The SoundStar
3D 10F catheter may also be used on the Vivid S70 / S60
without the CartoSound interface.
The Acuson AcuNav 10F and AcuNav 8F are intended to be
used on the Vivid S70 / S60 without an additional interface.
Vivid S70 / S60 is designed for compatibility with commercially
available ICE catheters (AcuNav™ 10F, AcuNav 8F,
SoundStar™ 3D 10F, Soundstar eco 10F, Soundstar eco 8F).
Verify clearance of these devices prior to using them with the
Vivid S70 / S60 system.
Use special ‘Carto’ preset when connected to CartoSound
System and be careful when adjusting parameters to avoid
framerate lower than 30 frames per second.
