TELEMED SmartUs User Guide, REV 3.10 2023.02.15 APPENDICES 11.1. Guidelines for the safe use of diagnostic ultrasound A. Recommendations General • The use of diagnostic ultrasound to obtain information about functions or structures in human beings should be restricted to situations in which the medical benefit that may accrue from the diagnostic data outweighs any foreseeable risk.
