Clarius Ultrasound Scanner
Scanner Description
Scanner Description The Synergy MSK Ultrasound Scanner is a portable, general purpose, software controlled, diagnostic ultrasound system used to acquire and display high-resolution, real-time ultrasound data through a COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) Apple iOS or Android™ device. The Synergy MSK Ultrasound Scanner series of wireless scanners are Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-based scanners that communicate with a traditional tablet/smartphone via direct Wi-Fi to allow users to export ultrasound images and display in different modes of operation. The Clarius Scanner houses a battery and power generator, multichannel beamformer, prescan converter and Wi-Fi components. The battery is removable and comes with a separate charger.

• Circumstances in the patient’s environment may negatively impact the scanner and the exam. For example: (1) Chemicals and gases in the operating room. (2) Altitudes below -382 m or above 4000 m. • Vulnerable patients, such as children and pregnant/nursing women, may be more prone to the exposure of acoustic energy when the scanner is used for prolonged periods. • Biological incompatibility may exist between the scanner materials used and the biological tissues, cells, and body fluids of the patient/user, taking account of the intended purpose of the scanner. • Using the scanner in the patient environment may be unsafe if the following conditions exist: (1) Extremes in humidity (RH<15% and RH>90%). (2) Ambient temperatures that are excessively high (40°C / 104°F) or excessively low (0°C / 32°F).
