What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
The Auto Positioning feature provides an alternate, streamlined and efficient workflow and performs quality and safety checks for the CT technologist in setting up CT examinations up to the initiation of the first scout scan. Auto Positioning acquires 3D spatial information of the individual patient on the table and combines it with information from the selected protocol to automatically calculate and visually display the scout’s start and end locations. Concurrently it checks for proper patient orientation, determines the table height for optimum patient centering, and checks for potential contact between the patient and the gantry. Upon acceptance by the technologist the patient is automatically moved to the correct scout start location. Use of Auto Positioning is intended to provide consistent patient positioning for optimal image quality and automatic exposure control.
