Intended Use

The ALOKA ARIETTA 850 is intended for use by trained personnel (doctor, Sonographer, etc.) for the diagnostic ultrasound evaluation of Fetal, Abdominal, Intra-operative (Spec.), Pediatric, Small Organ (Spec.), Neonatal Cephalic, Adult Cephalic, Trans-rectal, Trans-vaginal, Transesoph. (non-Card.), Musculo-skel. (Convent.), Musculo-skel. (Superfic.), Wound (Cavernous/Non-Cavernous), Gynecology, Cardiac Adult, Cardiac Pediatric, Trans-esophageal (card.), Peripheral vessel, and gastro-intestinal (GI) endoscopic clinical applications.

Device Description

The ALOKA ARIETTA 850 is a multi-functional ultrasound diagnostic scanner in which Doppler, Color Flow Mapping, etc. are provided and all circuits related to image quality are fully digitalized. This device can be utilized with linear, convex, radial and phased array scan type probes for usage with a variety of clinical applications.

The ALOKA ARIETTA 850 can be used for individual or combined display in the image display model listed below.

  • B mode is a display mode in which the tomographic image is formed with plural ultrasound beams by the methods mentioned above. During the process of creating the tomographic image, adaptive filters (HI REZ) that modify the characteristics of each echo filter are used to produce a clear image.
  • M mode is a display mode of ultrasound beams received sequentially and repeatedly on the screen from the same direction. It indicates these reflected echoes in one direction from the interior of the patient's body's on time-series scale.
  • There are two types of D (Doppler) mode: PW Doppler mode and CW Doppler mode. PW Doppler mode displays bloodstream information consecutively at a sample point that is detected by pulsed Doppler sonography. CW Doppler mode displays bloodstream information continuously in the single-direction ultrasound beam that is detected by the CW Doppler method.
  • Color Doppler mode receives ultrasound from the same direction and detects any changes that occur over time to identify three types of bloodstream information: its direction. its speed, and its inconsistency. The mode then colors that information and displays it as an overlay on B mode or M mode. Color Flow Mode. Power Doppler Mode, High-Resolution Power Doppler (eFlow) Mode can be used with this instrument according to need.

The 5 methods of electronic scanning are as follows.

  • Linear Scanning Method: By this method, the ultrasound beam from the ultrasound probe is emitted in a straight line (linearly) and draws a tomographic image of the test subject.
  • Convex Scanning Method: By this method, the ultrasound beam from the ultrasound probe is emitted radially and draws a tomographic image of the test subject.
  • Sector Scanning Method: By this method, the ultrasound beam from the ultrasound probe is emitted in a fan shape (sector) and draws a tomographic image of the test subject.
  • Radial Scanning Method: By this method. the ultrasound beam emits a 360 degree (radial) ultrasound beam and draws a tomographic image of the test subject.
  • Trapezoidal Scanning Method: By this method, the ultrasound beam from the ultrasound probe is emitted radially without regard to the form of the probe head and draws a tomographic image of the patient.

§ 892.1550 Ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system is a device that combines the features of continuous wave doppler-effect technology with pulsed-echo effect technology and is intended to determine stationary body tissue characteristics, such as depth or location of tissue interfaces or dynamic tissue characteristics such as velocity of blood or tissue motion. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II.
