IMPROVE HEALTHCARE OUTCOMES AND LOWER COSTS
Handheld ultrasound that helps providers accelerate treatment decisions at the point of care.
Introducing Vscan Air™ – a wireless handheld ultrasound system that helps you make clinical decisions by quickly ruling in or out certain conditions.
Vscan Extend™: All-in-one dual-probe system
Increase diagnostic accuracy.
The use of Pocket-size handheld echocardiagraphic devices after brief bedside training greatly improved the clinical diagnosis of medical students and junior doctors.¹
Expedite confident decision-making.
Residents with limited training in cardiac ultrasound were able to identify LVSD in patients with superb accuracy and confirm findings 22 hours before the availability of formal echocardiography results.²
Reduce the need for extra tests.
After a short training course, a pocket-sized ultrasound device examination in addition to a physical exam can improve the answer to 10 common clinical questions and reduce the need for further testing.³
Increase the quality of referrals.
Vscan Extend provides additional clues during the physical exam in just a few short minutes of scanning to increase the quality of referrals and improve your patient’s overall experience.
