Terms of Service

Indications for Use

Us2.v1 software is used to process acquired transthoracic cardiac ultrasound images, to analyse and make measurements on images in order to provide automated estimation of several cardiac structural and functional parameters. The data produced by this software is intended to be used to support qualified cardiologists, sonographers, or other licensed professional healthcare practitioners for clinical decision-making. Us2.v1 is indicated for use in adult patients. Us2.v1 has not been validated for the assessment of congenital heart disease, valve disease, pericardial disease, and/or intra-cardiac lesions (e.g. tumours, thrombi).

Please note the following limitations:

  • Poor image capture will lead to poor annotations and subsequent measurements. Multiple image quality algorithms are used to filter out images of poor quality.
  • Our software complements good patient care and does not exempt the userfrom the responsibility to provide supervision, clinically review the patient, and make appropriate clinical decisions.
  • If no gender is present, female referenced guideline values will be used for conclusions.
  • If Body Surface Area (BSA) is not present, indexed values cannot be provided.
  • Normal reference values vary with age, sex, and ethnicity. In case of doubt always refer back to the appropriate cardiac society's guidelines.
  • During image acquisition, inappropriate use of the echo machine, use of non-cardiac ultrasound probes, use of suboptimal settings (e.g. gain, contrast, depth), or lack of EKG capture may lead to lower accuracy of the software.
  • Presence of any of the non-validated conditions (congenital heart disease, valve disease, pericardial effusion, and/or intra-cardiac lesions, e.g. tumours, thrombi) may influence measurement accuracy.

Us2.ai may collect non-personally identifiable information regarding your usage of the Services, including the pages and time spent using certain features of the app, demographic data such as server locations, connection speed, and other information that does not identify you.

Like most online services, we also use cookies, log files, clear GIFs, tracking pixels, web beacons, and other technologies that may collect Personal Data.

What are cookies?

When you visit the Services, we may send one or more "cookies" – small data files – to your
computer to uniquely identify your browser and let Us2.ai help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the app. A cookie may convey anonymous information about how you browse the Services to us so we can provide you with a more personalized experience, but does not collect personal information about you.

A persistent cookie remains on your computer after you close your browser so that it can be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser's directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser.

What cookies do we use?

Our app uses the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:

Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our app and to enable you to use some of its features. For example, they allow you to log in to secure areas of our app and help the content of the pages you request to load quickly. Without these cookies, the Services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with
those services.

Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our app to remember choices you make when you use our Services, such as remembering your login details and remembering the changes you make to other parts of our Services which you can customize.

Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our app and how users use our app. The information gathered via these cookies does not "directly" identify any individual visitor. However, it may render such visitors "indirectly identifiable".

In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).

Clause 9

Governing Law

The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

Clause 10

Variation of the contract

The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.

Clause 11

Subprocessing

The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses[1](#_ftn1). Where the subprocessor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.

The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become in solvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law.Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory authority.

Clause 12

Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services

The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.

The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.
