Field:	Response:
Model Application(s):	Robotic surgical and ultrasound research and development.
Describe life-critical application (if present):	This model is intended for research and is not tested or intended for clinical or mission critical applications that require functional safety. It is not for deployment in clinical settings or for medical decision-making. Any real-world use requires independent safety review and regulatory clearance.
Use Case Restrictions:	Abide by the NSCL V1 License
Model and Dataset Restrictions:	The Principle of least privilege (PoLP) is applied limiting access for dataset generation and model development. Restrictions enforce dataset access during training, and dataset license constraints adhered to.
