Intended Use

This product is intended primarily for on-line or remote viewing of cardiac catheterization angiography studies communicated by network, or transported by CD-R interchange media. The CD-R media may also be used as a full resolution digital image archive of complete cath lab studies, to replace cine film. The ARS2 can optionally be used with other digital imaging modalities, such as R/F, nuclear and ultrasound. The ARS2 provides the capability to write and read CD-R optical discs which are produced in accordance with the ACC/NEMA DICOM standard.

Device Story

Digital image recording/display system; inputs include cardiac catheterization, R/F, nuclear, and ultrasound images via network or CD-R media. Operates as workstation for viewing, archiving, and quantitative analysis of studies. Features include edge enhancement, zoom, window/level adjustment, gamma correction, and subtraction. Quantitative analysis includes ventricular wall motion/volume and arteriogram analysis. Used in clinical settings by medical professionals to replace cine film; facilitates diagnostic review and clinical decision-making through high-resolution digital display and standardized DICOM data interchange.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; performance data not required for determination of substantial equivalence for this class of device.

Technological Characteristics

Digital imaging workstation; supports 8-bit grayscale, 1024x1024 display matrix, 1280x1024 video output. Storage via hard disk and CD-R. Connectivity via network and DICOM-compliant optical media. Image processing includes edge enhancement, zoom, window/level, gamma correction, and subtraction. Quantitative analysis modules for ventricular and arteriogram assessment.

Indications for Use

Indicated for clinicians requiring on-line or remote viewing and archiving of digital medical images, including cardiac catheterization angiography, radiography/fluoroscopy, nuclear medicine, and ultrasound studies.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An angiographic x-ray system is a device intended for radiologic visualization of the heart, blood vessels, or lymphatic system during or after injection of a contrast medium. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.
