Clear images. Informed decisions.
Quickly triage patients and make fast decisions on next steps*, such as admitting and discharge decisions, and the next treatment or referral choice, potentially saving precious time and minimizing the need for costly and invasive imaging procedures.
Break free.
Take it anywhere** with wireless freedom and maximum portability. Vscan Air is designed for the rigors of your emergency department including makeshift care areas. It withstands everyday handling, from scratches to drops and even a rainstorm.***
Ready in your pocket.
Optimized for the most common exams in the ER, including eFAST examination for traumatic injury, evaluation of patients presenting with acute abdominal pain, shortness of breath, or undifferentiated hypotension. No need to use valuable time searching for an ultrasound cart.
Vscan Air helps you accelerate clinical decisions and perform guided interventions such as fluid drainage or securing central venous access in potentially life-threatening situations, and with the help of a visual scan at the point of care.
By your side.
