Biometric Measurements

You can perform the following clinical measurements on the Sonosite PX ultrasound system. Calculations include: • Volume • Volume flow • Cardiac • Carotid • Obstetrics • Ratios • Percent reduction Measurements and their references include: • Cardiac measurements • Obstetrical measurements • General measurements (such as distance, area, velocity, slope, and VTI) Measurement and analysis performance encompasses the accuracy of the caliper measurements as well as the accuracy of algorithms used to further analyze the measurements. The accuracy values require that the operator can place the caliper marker over one pixel. The values do not include acoustical anomalies of the body. Other limitations and assumptions for measurement performance are given in Sources of measurement errors [131]. Accuracy of each clinical measurement possible and the range over which this accuracy can be expected to be maintained are also found in Sources of measurement errors [131]. Intended Use

Contraindications

The ultrasound system has no known contraindications.
