Clarius has received CE Mark approval for the commercial sale of the C3 and L7 Clarius Wireless Ultrasound scanners.
“Clarius has amazing image quality for such a small device,” said Dr. Gert-Jan Mauritz, an emergency medicine resident and ultrasound instructor based in the Netherlands. “It’s better than a traditional ultrasound machine because I carry it everywhere in my pocket and it’s so easy to use the Clarius App on my phone.”
Compact ultrasound systems for use at the bedside are the norm in most hospitals and many private clinics. But costs of high quality systems have been a barrier for more widespread adoption. A basic ultrasound scanner from Clarius will start at 6,600 euros in European Union countries.
“We have received enthusiastic response to our ultra-portable wireless scanners from clinicians across Europe,” said Laurent Pelissier, chairman and CEO. “We have established European operations in the United Kingdom and are ready to deliver our scanners through our European direct sales team and distributor channels.”
Clarius is setting up a distribution center for the scanners in the United Kingdom.
Clarius Scanners are powered by a rechargeable battery, which is easily exchanged when running low. Built with a magnesium case, Clarius Scanners are designed to withstand challenging environments and are water submersible for easy cleaning and disinfection. The Clarius C3 multipurpose ultrasound is designed to image the abdomen and lungs; it also incorporates a virtual phased array for quick scans of the heart. The Clarius L7 is ideal for guiding procedures and imaging superficial structures.
Clarius is based in British Columbia (Canada) and develops ultrasound technology, creating the first PC-based platform for ultrasound research and the first touch screen ultrasound system with a simplified user interface.
