Philips has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its newest 5000 Compact Series compact ultrasound system.
The system delivers cart-based premium image quality in a compact form, according to Philips. It features a wide range of diagnostic solutions for point of care, cardiology, general imaging, and obstetrics/gynecology.
“Globally, clinicians are faced with increasing pressures to deliver higher patient throughput for quick, confident diagnoses via ultrasound exams, while receiving more and more requests to perform rapid ultrasound exams at the bedside,” Matthijs Groot Wassink, GM of Point-of-Care Ultrasound at Philips told the press. “Until now, portable ultrasound systems have typically meant decreased performance, lack of advanced features, and lower grade image quality. With this clearance for our next generation portable Philips Ultrasound 5000 Compact Series, clinicians now have the ability to make quicker and more confident diagnoses. Patients within locations such as hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, physician offices, and point-of-care settings, also have faster access to quicker results, physician communication and ultimately, increased peace of mind in their treatment plans.”
Ultrasound 5000 Compact Series features real-time collaboration and remote consultations and training via Philips Ultrasound Collaboration live tele-ultrasound. It also has integrated connectivity to streamline workflows.
The system shares the same user interfaces, features, touchscreens, transducers, and workflows as Philips’ EPIQ and Affiniti ultrasounds.
