Selection of On-screen Objects
The SELECT key on the control panel functions as a point-and-select device (similar to a computer mouse) when the trackball is assigned to the pointer function. "Select" or "click" describes this action: Roll the trackball to position the pointer (cursor) on an on-screen object and then press the SELECT key. "Double-click" describes this action: Roll the trackball to position the pointer (cursor) on an on-screen object and then press the SELECT key twice. "Drag" describes this action: Roll the trackball to position the pointer (cursor) on an on-screen object and then press and hold the SELECT key. Roll the trackball to reposition the object and then release the SELECT key. The NEXT key on the control panel also functions as a point-and-select device (similar to the right button a computer mouse). "Right-click" describes this action: Roll the trackball to position the pointer (cursor) on an on-screen object and then press the NEXT key.

Indications for Use Statement
ACUSON S2000 Ultrasound System
The S2000™ ultrasound imaging systems are intended for the following applications: Fetal, Abdominal, Intraoperative, Pediatric, Small Parts, Transcranial, OB/GYN, Cardiac, Pelvic, Neonatal/Adult Cephalic, Vascular, Musculoskeletal, Superficial Musculoskeletal, and Peripheral Vascular applications. The system also provides the ability to measure anatomical structures {fetal, abdominal, intraoperative, intraoperative neurological, pediatric, small organ, neonatal cephalic, adult cephalic, cardiac, trans-esophageal, transrectal, transvaginal, peripheral vessel, musculoskeletal (conventional), musculo-skeletal (superficial) and neonatal cardiac} and calculation packages that provide information that provide information to the clinician that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes. The Arterial Health Package (AHP) software provides the physician with the capability to measure Intima Media Thickness and the option to reference normative tables that have been validated and published in peer-reviewed studies. The information is intended to provide the physician with an easily understood tool for communicating with patients regarding state of their cardiovascular system. This feature should be utilized according to the “ASE Consensus Statement; Use of Carotid Ultrasound to Identify Subclinical Vascular Disease and Evaluate Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Consensus Statement from the American Association of Echocardiography; Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Task Force, Endorsed by the Society for Vascular Imaging”.
ACUSON AcuNav Ultrasound Catheter

The catheter is intended for intracardiac and intraluminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology, as well as visualization of other devices in the heart of adult and pediatric patients.
Instructions for Use
1 Introduction
Transducers and Intended Applications Only the following transducers from Siemens are compatible with the ultrasound system. Note: Certain transducers may require features not available on your system. EMC Note: Operating the transducer in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic fields, such as radio transmitter stations or similar installations, may lead to temporary degradation or interference visible on the monitor screen. A lightening of image background may be noticed while visualizing hypoechoic structures, or color spectral interference, or jitter, or horizontal lines in the image screen may occur. The transducer and the system have been designed and tested to withstand such interference and will not be permanently damaged.
