Caution
Patient data from different systems are only distinguished by the patient identification (ID) field!
Ensure that all patients receive a unique patient identification (ID). Digital patient data is only
identified by the patient ID. If the ID is not unique, data may be overwritten or mixed.
Caution
Do not touch the patient and the signal input/signal output (SIP/SOP) connectors
simultaneously.
Image quality
Caution
The quality of the image used for diagnosis is essential:
•
Changing the display settings can affect the image quality and compromise the
diagnostic quality. The user is responsible to use adequate display settings for achieving
appropriate image quality. If in doubt, only the image as displayed on the Voluson™
ultrasound system with default display settings is to be used for diagnostic purposes.
•
Do not diagnose based on print-outs.
Caution
A lossy compression can reduce image quality which can lead to a false diagnosis!
Caution
Filters smoothen the final image (structures may be smeared out). For diagnostic purposes,
the Region of Interest must be checked without filter. A smoothed image might lead to false
diagnosis!
Specific modes and features
Caution
Features that facilitate measurements such as Sono
NT
1
must be used with extreme care. The
measurement results are a suggestion of the system, if in doubt verify with manual
measurement methods.
The user is responsible for the diagnostic interpretation of the measurement results.
Caution
•
Be aware that diagnostic conclusions must not be drawn from a specific mode, such as
Render Mode or XTD-Mode. Always check with other diagnostic procedures.
•
The accuracy of measurements in specific modes such as Render Mode, XTD, MagiCut
2
is limited and can be lower than measurements in B-images.
•
Do not diagnose based on 3D/4D Acquisition Mode. Always check and confirm
diagnostic findings in B-Mode.
•
If a yellow caution symbol is displayed on the screen/Report, the measurement accuracy
is compromised in the selected mode.
