GE Healthcare launches new compact ultrasound system

GE Healthcare announced the global commercial launch of its new generation of high-end portable compact cardiovascular ultrasound, the Vivid™ iq. A smaller sized compact weighing just 4.5 kg, the Vivid™ iq matches exceptional image quality with extraordinary functionality, allowing clinicians to diagnose in more settings than ever before. From the Cath lab and the OR to the ER or even a tented exam room in a remote location, this ultra-portable diagnostic ultrasound system delivers premier cardiac care without compromises.

As GE Healthcare’s most advanced portable cardiovascular ultrasound to date, the Vivid™ iq was developed alongside clinicians and healthcare providers around the world. Dr. Ferran Rosés Noguer, head of the Pediatric Cardiology Department at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, said: “Vivid iq is a huge step forward in terms of image quality and innovative design. It is extremely user friendly, truly portable, with a fantastic interface and a great design that is really futuristic and elegant at the same time.”
With today’s increasing patient volumes, Vivid™ iq helps adapt to new challenges with the combination of power and portability.
