• K Number: K984639
• Device Name: THE S-VNA 5-8(B) DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER
• Manufacturer: MEDISON AMERICA, INC.
• Date Cleared: 1999-07-12 ( 193 days)
• Product Code: ITX
• Regulation Number: 892.1570

Intended Use

Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body as follows: Neonatal Cephalic, Fetal, Pediatric and Neonatal Abdominal. Typical examinations performed using this transducer are: General abdominal studies including organ surveys, assessment, and retro-peritoneal cavity studies. Pediatric scans of organs and bony structures. Neonatal head studies. Biopsy guidance for tissue or fluid sampling.

Device Description

The S-VNA 5-8(B) transducer is a mechanically steered curved array (Volume) probe. This is identical to the previously cleared (K940942) endocavitary S-VDW 5-8 probe, with the same materials, same acoustic module, and the same technical performance. The primary mechanical difference with the endocavity S-VDW 5-8 probe is the modified (shorter) shaft, designed to allow use on the outer surface of the body. The VOLUSON® Neonatal transducer S-VNA5-8(B) is an electronic wideband sector-transducer with a center frequency of 6.5 MHz and with switchable scan angles. The direction of insonation is forward in relation to the transducer's longitudinal axis. This device is a hand-held, 128 element, curved linear array probe. In addition to B-Mode and M-Mode, this probe can be operated in steerable pulsed Doppler, Color Doppler, Color Power Angio Doppler, and 3D Imaging. Similar to the S-VDW 5-8 transducer, the S-VN A5-8(B) also allows the performance of a 3D volume scan by internally sweeping the array in a lateral direction, automatically upon a key press. The images thus obtained from sectional planes perpendicular to each other can be displayed synoptically on the screen. This device is intended for use with the Combison/Voluson C530D Diagnostic Ultrasound Scanner for transcutaneous imaging as an aid in the detection and assessment of physical and functional abnormalities using established diagnostic criteria.
