Operating principle
The essential performance of the FUSION EQUINE DR ® II system is to synchronize the image
acquisition of the digital receptor with the X-ray beam of the host X-ray system to capture,
display and archive quality images of the intended anatomy, with reasonable patient exposure
to X-rays.
The FUSION EQUINE DR ® II digital imaging system uses a solid-state X-ray detector to
capture digital images of anatomy penetrated by an incident X-ray beam. A host X-ray system
generates the X-ray beam, which passes through a patient and strikes the detector of FUSION
EQUINE DR
®
II. The detector converts the X-ray energy to digital image data that is then
passed to the FUSION EQUINE DR
®
II computer. The computer processes the image data,
displays the image to the user, and provides temporary storage for image data and associated
patient information, which can be imported from a worklist or entered manually. When the user
has finished applying processing, annotation, and measurement features of Sound SmartDR
™
Premier software, the images can be archived or printed to appropriate DICOM-compliant
devices.
Intended User Profile
The digital radiography system is intended for use in general radiographic examinations and
applications (excluding fluoroscopy) by a veterinary technologist or other trained person under
the supervision of a veterinarian.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the digital radiography system or subsystem
components. Refer all repair needs to a service organization that has been trained and
authorized by Sound Technologies, Inc.
Intended Patient Population
The target population is equine, canine, feline, (small) mammal, primate, avian, and reptile
undergoing medical diagnostic imaging for reasons that were judged to be medically
necessary by a competent veterinary practitioner. The digital radiography system is intended
for veterinary applications only and is not for use on humans.
Intended Anatomy
The digital radiography system may be used to image any part or area of the target
population's anatomy that can be imaged with x-ray radiation, with or without a contrast
agent.
