Diagnostic information
The images and calculations provided by the system are
intended for use by competent operators, as a diagnostic tool.
They are explicitly not to be regarded as the sole, irrefutable
basis for clinical diagnosis. Operators are encouraged to study
the literature and reach their own professional conclusions
regarding the clinical utility of the system.
The operator should be aware of the product specifications, and
of the 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 within the image.
The equipment operator must become thoroughly familiar with
the equipment operation in order to optimize its performance
and recognize possible malfunctions. Applications training is
available through a local GE representative. Added confidence
in the equipment operation can be gained by establishing a
quality assurance program.
CAUTION
Allowing the machine to transmit acoustic output with the probe
not in use (or in its holder) can cause the transducer to build up
heat.
CAUTION
The system provides calculations (e.g estimated fetal weight)
and charts based on published scientific literature. Selection of
the appropriate chart and clinical interpretation of calculations
and charts is the sole responsibility of the operator. The
operator must consider contraindications for the use of a
calculation or chart as described in scientific literature. The
diagnosis, decision for further examination and medical
treatment must be performed by qualified personnel following
good clinical practice.
CAUTION
Be certain to ensure privacy of patient information data.
