FDA today
announced that it has cleared Interson SiMPLi™ Series linear and convex USB array probes to be used for medical application.
Both linear
and convex array probes are used for point of care USB Ultrasound and can
directly be plugged into Windows OS tablets, laptops, and desktops to display
real-time ultrasound images at resolution and detail that were, until now, only
available on high-end ultrasound systems.
These probes
are lightweight, easy to handle and can be easily brought to bedside or can be
transported to any location outside the office for point of care imaging.
Roman Solek,
President & CEO said, “These new array probes continue on our company vision
to bring affordable, high-quality ultrasound imaging to every medical
professional. SiMPLi Series is the most portable, real-time ultrasound solution
available. We are proud to keep pushing the market forward on performance and
practicality while also driving the cost lower.”
These probes
can be used for wide varieties of medical sub specialties like women’s health,
rehab facilities, primary care, hospice care and telemedicine.
These probes
also allow remote ultrasound viewing. Healthcare personal at the remote
location connects their USB ultrasound probe and streams their local view to
the central hospital. The experts at the central facility can provide a
real-time diagnosis.
If real time
remote viewing is not possible, the local exam may be saved and forwarded to an
expert for analysis. Saving a simple jpeg often is not enough for the expert to
provide a diagnosis. Save all of the exam’s frames by selecting Cine Save and
then send the frames to the expert. The expert can load the Cine file into
their SeeMore application and adjust gains, intensity, and contrast to optimize
the view. They can add annotations and make measurements. The expert can then
save and archive the best frame of the exam.
The probes
were also displayed at the American Telemedicine trade show in Orlando Florida.
"Our SiMPLi
probes appear as a connected webcam to the system. Telemedicine can now realize
all of the benefits of ultrasound diagnostics without having to connect to a
floor standing or cart mounted ultrasound.” says Bill Wiedemann, Director
Systems Integration.
Ultrasound
is the next revolution in Healthcare.
