1. The Vevo MD Imaging System uses ultra high frequency (UHF) series transducers that limit the imaging
depth. For this reason imaging of abdominal organs or non-superficial musculoskeletal structure may be
limited to neonatal and small pediatric patients and all imaging is limited to the maximum imaging depth of
the transducer as follows:
UHF22 = 38.4 mm
UHF48 = 23.5 mm
UHF70 = 10 mm
2. Includes imaging to assist in the placement of needles and catheters in vascular or other anatomical
structures and imaging guidance for peripheral nerve block procedures.
