The Doppler Trace Measurement feature on certain models of the firm's diagnostic ultrasound systems, may, under certain conditions whereby multiple measurements are done sequentially, record incorrect values. The recorded value is displayed to the user on a report; however depending upon the measurement area, displayed velocity values could be lower than at the true velocity lead
FDA Determined
