Fujifilm Healthcare launch the latest generation of handheld ultrasound. Wirelessly.
Fujifilm has recently launched its iViz Handheld system offering a compelling blend of wireless technology, a battery life of more than three hours and weighing no more than a stethoscope. Fast initialization with intuitive interaction at your fingertips.
Handheld ultrasound has progressively been evolving throughout the last ten years and has developed a widespread use in the field of healthcare. Embraced by clinicians for multiple clinical applications, it provides the advantages of portability together with the potential of accelerating diagnosis and improving patient care. Ultimately saving time and cost.
Significant improvements in image quality over the years together with increasing demands on healthcare, including COVID challenges, are rapidly expanding its clinical functionality in transporting ultrasound from the hospital environment directly to the patient, whether at the GP office, roadside or home.
1. Home health visits: an ageing society with reduced mobility frequently require ultrasound examinations which can address multiple diagnostic situations within a home environment.
2. COVID-19 pandemic: lung ultrasound (LUS) can be a useful adjunct during the diagnostic process. Using AI-based software with a choice of either BLUE or POCUS protocols offers an inexpensive, rapid and widely available diagnostic tool that is non-ionizing and can be undertaken at the bedside.
3. Bladder volume scanning: utilizing AI measurement during a home visit, ED, ward round or GP surgery offers immediate bladder assessment and urine volume calculations.
4. Teaching: handheld ultrasound is increasingly employed by medical schools as an affordable teaching tool for students as part of the clinical point-of-care ultrasound curriculum.
5. Remote healthcare: challenging geographical and financial constraints can cause limitations for the provision of healthcare. Handheld ultrasound provides affordable technology delivering optimal diagnosis on-site that is easy and quick, helping to improve patient outcome.
- FAST: initialization <20 secs for fast assessment
- WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY: untethered freedom of movement for ease of use, helping to reduce RSI. Improved disinfection capability.
- LIGHTWEIGHT: convex transducer 190gms (approximate stethoscope weight). Linear transducer 147gms
- DURABLE: battery life >3 hours ensuring uninterrupted scanning time
