CE Mark Granted for Ultra-Portable Wireless Ultrasound Scanners

Clarius Mobile Health has received CE Mark approval for its third-generation product line of high-performance wireless ultrasound scanners that connect with Apple and Android devices.

The new pocket-sized scanners—now 30 percent lighter and smaller—replace the complex knobs and buttons found on traditional ultrasound systems with an app that uses artificial intelligence and intuitive touch-based controls. 
 
“Clinicians in Europe and the UK have been early adopters of Clarius wireless ultrasound, and we know excitement has been building for our new miniaturized Clarius HD3 because we’ve had a list of customers waiting for CE certification,” Clarius Founder Laurent Pelissier said. “Our mission has always been to improve patient care by enabling more clinicians to use ultrasound. Now that Clarius is reduced to the size of an iPhone, easier to use, and costs less, we’re expecting more clinicians will use ultrasound to deliver the best patient care.”
 
In emergency environments, the Clarius C3 HD3 multipurpose scanner saves lives. Dr. Wolfgang Fleischmann, an anesthesiologist and emergency medicine physician, described why the Red Cross chose Clarius when it sought to equip its emergency services vehicles with hospital-grade portable ultrasound. “We had the opportunity to extensively test the Clarius scanner in our prehospital emergency environment. The product impressed us with its image quality, its reliability, its short start-up time, and good price-to-performance ratio. It prompted us to equip all our emergency doctors’ cars and ambulances with the Clarius ultrasound device,” he said.
 
Seven ultrasound scanners are each designed to meet specific requirements of a broad range of medical specialties.
 
With best-in-class MSK imaging, the Clarius L15 HD3 high-frequency linear scanner is a top choice amongst orthopaedic surgeons. Clarius offers software packages designed for many specialty applications including advanced breast, musculoskeletal, obstetrics,  primary/critical care, vascular, veterinary packages, and aesthetics. They deliver dedicated presets, advanced workflows, comprehensive measurements, and fined tuned imaging, leveraging artificial intelligence and SaaS to deliver a complete handheld ultrasound solution that connects to the cloud.
 
Dr. Ines Verner, an aesthetic dermatologist based in Tel-Aviv, uses the Clarius L20 wireless ultrasound scanner to prevent complications such as vascular occlusions during aesthetic procedures like cosmetic fillers. She was among the first to try the Clarius L20 HD3 for facial aesthetics. “It’s a breakthrough in the field. Clarius is a good fit for aesthetics because it lets me clearly see fine facial anatomy, it’s easy to use, the image quality is good, it’s wireless, and it’s small so I can take it with me from room to room,” Verner said. “Ultrasound is a gamechanger for the aesthetics industry because we can really see what we need to see instead of injecting blindly, which is what most of us used to do. Now, we can inject knowing where we’re going and not to inject where we don’t want to inject.”
 
Clarius develops ultrasound tools; its handheld wireless ultrasound scanners connect to iOS and Android devices, delivering high-resolution ultrasound images traditionally only available with bulkier, high-end systems at a fraction of the cost. More than 2 million high-definition scans have been performed using Clarius wireless handheld scanners. Clarius scanners are available in more than 90 countries worldwide.
