Anatomic Model Regulatory Information 

Ricoh 3D Anatomic Models are intended as physical replicas of patient anatomy to be used for diagnostic purposes in the fields of craniomaxillofacial, orthopedic, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and breast applications. The Anatomic Models are based on DICOM imaging information from a medical scanner and output files from FDA cleared software intended for the creation and output of digital files suitable for the fabrication of physical replicas. The models should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools and expert clinical judgement. 

The accuracy of the Anatomic Model to patient anatomy is determined largely by the quality of the medical imaging data.  It is recommended that users consult the following Scanning Protocols for best results:

  1. 1.Thin-walled anatomy available in lower-durometer materials with Shore A Hardness of 95 or greater.
  2. 2.Stratasys F370 is a single material FDM print technology. Therefore, it is not suitable for models in which distinction between fully/partially encapsulated tissue and surrounding tissue and/or bone is desired.
