Acuson Maple workhorse joins the Siemens stable of ultrasound systems

Siemens Healthineers has introduced the Acuson Maple, a powerful, versatile and affordable ultrasound system that is said to enable rapid diagnosis and assessment in all clinical settings. AI-powered features optimise everyday clinical performance for users of all skill levels.

Powered by Acuson technology, the Acuson Maple is designed as a workhorse ultrasound system that supports a diverse range of ultrasound use cases. Lightweight, portable and battery powered, Siemens says the system is ideal for emerging markets, small hospitals, outpatient centres, private practices and urgent care centres.

Siemens Healthineers proudly expands its Acuson portfolio with the Acuson Maple, which leverages a common hardware and software platform as well as AI-powered applications that automate workflow and analysis to bolster examination efficiency,” said Siemens Healthineers Great Britain and Ireland head of ultrasound Mike Arbaugh.

“This affordable, configurable and versatile system offers a broad range of diagnostic imaging capabilities, with a high level of image quality for every patient.”

The system supports 15 transducers and has 25 advanced features to enhance usability and streamline workflow. An integrated battery enables up to 75 minutes of unplugged system scanning.

For obstetrics and gynaecology imaging, the Auto OB feature leverages machine learning to automatically calculate the age and weight of the fetus, reducing overall measurement time by up to 24 per cent. For cardiac imaging, the eSie Measure feature uses machine learning to automatically perform cardiac measurements during routine echocardiography. eSie Measure reduces keystrokes by up to 44 per cent and shortens routine echo examination time by up to five minutes.

The system is CE marked in the European Union and available globally.
