Intended Use
When interpreted by a skilled physician, this device provides information
that may be useful in screening and diagnosis. The user shall ensure that the
display hardware and the state of display calibration or other aspects of the
viewing environment are suitable for the intended use, as this may affect the
usability of the displayed images for diagnostic use. In such cases, patient
management decisions should not be made based solely on the results of the
image display.
Limitations
• All medical professionals and personnel using the Reviewer System and
software must be trained in the use of the device by Sorna Corporation.
• Note that digital mammography images may have been compressed.
Lossy compressed images may not be used as a primary interpretation
tool: they are for display purposes only.
• Effective use of the Reviewer System and software requires adher-
ence to imaging protocol requirements and the imaging manufacturer’s
instructions regarding maintenance and calibration of equipment.
• Measurement accuracy is limited to imaging system accuracy and site-
specific imaging techniques.
Warnings
• Shock potential when power applied improperly
Ensure that the system is connected to a power receptacle that provides
voltage and current within the specified rating for the system. Use of
an incompatible power receptacle may produce electric shock and fire
hazards.
• Shock potential when improperly grounded
Always connect the system power cord directly to an appropriate recep-
tacle with a functional ground.
Precautions
• Installation and use of unrelated software
Unrelated software applications should not be installed or used on the
system as this may affect performance and may compromise or corrupt
patient medical records.
• Service
Only technically qualified personnel, trained by Sorna Corporation,
shall perform troubleshooting and service procedures on the software
and hardware components.
In this User Guide, you will learn how to install, activate and con-
figure Reviewer Software, as well as how to navigate within the
