It is the world's smallest and first true pocket-ultrasound system.
Slightly larger than a personal digital assistant, and weighing only
1.6 pounds, the ACUSON P10 fits into a lab coat pocket and because of
its size, can be used by physicians in places like the Intensive Care
Unit, ambulances and MEDEVAC (medical evacuation) helicopters.
Instead
of having to rush the patient to the technology, doctors say the P10
system brings the technology to the patient. This can save critical
minutes, especially when a patient is in cardiac distress and/or with
trauma patients, who may have multiple injuries.
Referred to as
the "visual stethoscope," the P10 allows doctors to obtain images of
the heart and other critical areas in matter of seconds. The P10 has
recently been cleared for marketing by the FDA and is now available for
purchase by medical professionals. For more info log onto: www.pocketultrasound.com
