Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.6)
“The Venue Go is a general-purpose diagnostic ultrasound system for use by qualified and trained healthcare professionals for ultrasound imaging, measurement, display and analysis of the human body and fluid. Venue Go is intended to be used in a hospital or medical clinic. Venue Go clinical applications include: abdominal (GYN and Urology), thoracic/pleural, ophthalmic, Fetal/OB, Small Organ (including breast, testes, thyroid), Vascular/Peripheral vascular, neonatal and adult cephalic, pediatric, musculoskeletal (conventional and superficial), cardiac (adults and pediatric), Transrectal, Transvaginal, Transesophageal, Intraoperative (vascular) and interventional guidance (includes tissue biopsy, fluid drainage, vascular and non-vascular access). Modes of operation include: B, M, PW Doppler, CW Doppler, Color Doppler, Color M Doppler, Power Doppler, Harmonic Imaging, Coded Pulse and Combined modes: B/M, B/Color M, B/PWD, B/Color/PWD, B/Power/PWD, B/CWD, B/Color/CWD. cNerve: may help the user to detect and track nerves during the scouting stage of a nerve block procedure, prior to inserting the needle to inject the anesthetic material.”
