The Ecton Lynx with Pulsed Wave Doppler is intended for the previously cleared clinical indications of adult and pediatric cardiac, intraoperative cardiac, peripheral vascular, abdominal, fetal, pediatric and neonatal cephalic imaging.

The Ecton Lynx Ultrasound System is a general purpose and cardiac diagnostic ultrasound system. It is a highly portable digital system. Its function is to transmit and acquire ultrasound image data and display it on a monitor. The system has been cleared to operate in 2D, M-Mode, Color Flow Doppler, Doppler Tissue Imaging, and Continuous Wave Doppler modes (K982800). The current submission is for the addition of the Pulsed Wave Doppler mode to the device.

Diagnostic Ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body as follows: Fetal, Abdominal, Intraoperative-Cardiac, Pediatric, Neonatal Cephalic, Cardiac (Adult), Cardiac (Pediatric), Transesophageal, Peripheral Vascular. The Ecton Lynx is not intended for ophthalmic, intraoperative neuralgic, or adult cephalic imaging. The system may be used with or without legally marketed ultrasound contrast agents. The system makes no claims regarding the use of ultrasonic contrast agents but provides harmonic imaging capability, receiving echoes at a multiple of the transmit signal and providing electrocardiographic gating that may be used in conjunction with contrast agents.

The Ecton Lynx Ultrasound System is a general purpose and cardiac diagnostic ultrasound system. It is a highly portable digital system. Its function is to transmit and acquire ultrasound image data and display it on a monitor. The system operates in 2D, M-Mode, Color Flow Doppler, Doppler Tissue Imaging, and Continuous Wave Doppler modes. The Lynx provides the operator with the ability to perform measurements and calculations on images using established clinical formulae. The Lynx complies with the Track 3 Output Display Standard, providing an automatic display of Mechanical Index and Thermal Index. The Ecton Lynx is designed to operate linear and linear phased array transducers (probes). Four probes are included in the current submission: a 2.5MHz external probe, a 5.0MHz external probe, a 5.0MHz biplane transesophageal probe, and a 5.0MHz monoplane transesophageal probe. The transesophageal probes contain a temperature sensing device that is used to limit the surface temperature to 43 degrees C. The Ecton Lynx includes a stress echocardiography software package that utilizes conventional techniques to capture and format images for stress echocardiography studies. The system provides digital output of images in conformance with the DICOM standard. The Lynx does not utilize lossy compression techniques in image storage or transmission.
