The SiteRite™ 9 Ultrasound System is intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging of the human body performed by appropriately trained healthcare professionals in a medical setting. Specific clinical applications include:
- · Pediatric
- · Peripheral Vessel and Vascular Access
- · Small Organ (breast, thyroid, parathyroid, testicles)
- · Musculo-skeletal (conventional and superficial)
- · Cardiac (adult and pediatric)
The SiteRite™ 9 Ultrasound System is indicated for Vascular, Vascular Access, Interventional, and Superficial Imaging Applications. Typical examinations performed using the SiteRite™ 9 Ultrasound System include:
Vascular: Assessment of vessels in the extremities and neck leading to or coming from the heart, superficial veins in the arms and legs, and vessel mapping. Assessment of superficial thoracic vessels.
Vascular Access: Guidance for PICC, CVC, dialysis catheter, port, PIV, midline, arterial line placement, access to fistula and grafts, and general vein and artery access.
Interventional: Guidance for biopsy and drainage.
Superficial: Assessment of breast, thyroid, parathyroid, testicle, lymph nodes, musculoskeletal procedures, soft tissue structures, and surrounding anatomical structures.
The subject device, the SiteRite™ 9 Ultrasound System ("SiteRite 9 System") is a portable device that features real-time 2D ultrasound imaging for vascular access device placement, which includes vessel measurement tools, vascular access device selection, procedure documentation and electronic connectivity.
The subject SiteRite 9 System is intended to aid in the placement of peripheral and central line vascular access devices and ultimately increase first stick success. The system is the replacement platform for the Site~Rite® 8 Ultrasound System with Cue™ Needle Tracking System and Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology (i.e., the predicate device) and includes more up-to-date and reliable components aimed at providing improved image quality, while maintaining ease of operation.
The subject SiteRite 9 System can be viewed as the next generation SiteRite™ ultrasound system and is equivalent from a functionality standpoint to its predicate device, to the Site~Rite® 8 Ultrasound System with Cue™ Needle Tracking System and Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology (K182281). The SiteRite 9 System is essentially replacing its predicate device, the Site~Rite® 8 Ultrasound System with Cue™ Needle Tracking System and Pinpoint™ GT Needle Technology ("Site~Rite 8 System"), due to the end-oflife obsolescence of its components.
The subject SiteRite 9 System differs from its predicate device, the Site~Rite 8 System (K182281). in that it includes newer, more "state of the art" hardware components resulting in a more efficient and reliable use of the device. Aside from these technical upgrades, most of the previously cleared features of the predicate device are being brought forward.
The subject SiteRite 9 System includes the following main components:
- Ultrasound System Console
- Ultrasound Beamformer
- System Software
- 9 Ultrasound Probe
Additionally, the subject SiteRite 9 System is compatible with the following accessories:
- SiteRite™ Probe Cover Kits
- Site~Rite® Needle Guide Kits
- Pinpoint TM GT Needle Guide Kits
- MER Roll Stand with Mounting Accessory (optional accessory)
- Kickstand with Mounting Accessory (optional accessory)
- Sony Printer UP-X898MD (off-the-shelf, optional accessory)
- USB Storage Device (off-the-shelf, optional accessory)
