FAQs
- Caption AI is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven guidance software for conducting cardiac ultrasounds. Caption AI includes Caption Guidance™ and Caption Interpretation™ AutoEF software features:
• Caption Guidance software™, referenced as cardiac guidance on Vscan Air SL, is intended to assist medical professionals in the acquisition of cardiac ultrasound images.
• Caption Interpretation™ Ejection Fraction (“AutoEF”) software automatically calculates the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from one or any combination of these three views: PLAX, AP2, and AP4 to assist the clinician with their evaluation. The calculation increases in accuracy as each view is acquired. - There are 10 standard echo views available with guidance. These views can be customized with in any combination that best fit users’ workflow or indications-based needs. Enable/disable views and edit existing protocols with ease.
• Parasternal Long-Axis (PLAX)
• Parasternal Short-Axis Aortic Valve (PSAX-AV)
• Parasternal Short-Axis Mitral Valve (PSAX-MV)
• Parasternal Short-Axis Papillary Muscle (PSAX-PM)
• Apical 2-Chamber (AP2)
• Apical 3-Chamber (AP3)
• Apical 4-Chamber (AP4)
• Apical 5-Chamber (AP5)
• Subcostal 4-Chamber (SubC4)
• Subcostal Inferior Vena Cava (SC-IVC) - AutoEF is an AI interpretation of ejection fraction. Ejection fraction is a widely used measurement by cardiologists to assess heart function. At the end of every study, if one or a combination of sufficient quality PLAX, AP4, or AP2 views are captured, AutoEF will produce an ejection fraction calculation and inform you whether the calculated ejection fraction falls within the normal range, based on a mapping from ASE and ACEP guidelines.
- Yes, users can customize any combination of 10 standard cardiac views that guide users in real-time for each view. Six color sub-views can be added to a protocol. These views include an auto-box placement feature to assist users with ideal color box positioning** however users must adjust based on their own assessment. Any combination of both standard and color Doppler views can be created. Indications-based protocols are available for pulmonary emboli, LV function, FATE, and more.
- Vscan Air SL with Caption AI has been validated for use with certain iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Refer to the compatible display device list to see if your device is supported.
