The Philips Diagnost 96 was cleared through the FDA 510k pathway on August 7, 1991. Manufactured by Philips Medical Systems, it is classified as a Class 2 device under product code JAA.
What It Is
The Philips Diagnost 96 is an X-ray based imaging system designed for diagnostic radiology. It is particularly suited for cardiac angiography, providing detailed images of the heart and blood vessels. The device uses a U-arm configuration, which allows for flexible positioning and access during procedures. This system is integral in diagnosing cardiovascular conditions by visualizing blood flow and detecting blockages.
Clinical Applications
The device is commonly used in cardiac catheterization labs for coronary angiography, a procedure to visualize the coronary arteries. It is primarily used by cardiologists and interventional radiologists in hospital settings. The system is suitable for adult and pediatric patients requiring detailed vascular imaging, particularly those with suspected coronary artery disease.
Indications for Use
The Philips Diagnost 96 is indicated for use in imaging procedures that require detailed visualization of blood vessels, such as in cases of suspected embolization or vascular blockages. It is used to guide treatment decisions in patients with cardiovascular conditions.
Practical Considerations
When using the Philips Diagnost 96, operators should consider the positioning flexibility offered by the U-arm design. It is compatible with standard radiological accessories and protective equipment. Proper shielding is recommended to minimize radiation exposure to operators.
Related Literature
The linked study investigated radiation exposure to operators during cardiac angiography using U-arm systems like the Philips Diagnost. It found that using a table-mounted protective shield significantly reduced exposure to the eyes and thyroid. The study highlights the importance of protective measures to ensure operator safety, though it was conducted in 1978 and may not reflect current device advancements.
