Official title
Clinical Performance Evaluation of the Vivid Pioneer Diagnostic Ultrasound System
Overview
Subjects who are required to undergo transesophageal echocardiography according to the current clinical practice standards will be eligible for enrollment. Subjects will be screened for enrollment in this study against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After successful screening and enrollment of subjects, the investigators will first use the investigational device to conduct transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), followed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). TEE will be conducted after the subject has been anesthetized. To avoid any delay in diagnosis and treatment, after the scan with the investigational device is completed, the probe will be reserved and the console will be switched to the existing commercial cardiac diagnostic ultrasound device in the study site for intraoperative guidance. In the study, each investigator will evaluate the overall image quality, user interface, workflow, user preferences, product preset, and functions of the system, as well as the device's safety and stability and fill out a user feedback questionnaire provided by the Sponsor.
Primary outcome measures
- The main evaluation indicators include Overall system operation, Reliability, System operability, Overall image quality, etc., and the evaluation results are represented by five grades: Excellent, Very good, Good, Bad, and Very bad. [Time frame: From enrollment to Day 1 （Visit 1）]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Adults ≥ 18 years old, have autonomous capacity;
