The intended use is as an imaging system, used in capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visual assessment of blood flow as an adjunctive method for the evaluation of tissue perfusion, and related tissue-transfer circulation in tissue and free flaps used in plastic, micro-reconstructive surgery, and organ transplant procedures.<\/p>

The device is used by surgeons or trained health care professionals within a doctor\u2019s office environment and in hospital settings.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The IC-Flow\u2122 Imaging System provides for the visualisation of the distribution and intensity of a fluorescent dye, Indocyanine Green (Verdye, ICG) in human tissue.<\/p>

Indocyanine Green, ICG is reconstituted and injected. Through the use of the IC-Flow\u2122 Imaging System, a near-infrared light is exhibited. The LED light source excites the Indocyanine Green, ICG molecules in the tissue and the Indocyanine Green ICG emits fluorescence.<\/p>

The fluorescent light of ICG is detected by the camera filters and images or videos are displayed on a monitor and\/or touch screen.<\/p>
