Hand-held ultrasound system P09

for multipurpose ultrasound imagingB/Wtouchscreen

P09 Touch is a handheld visualization tool developed to provide physicians with imaging capabilities at the point of care. The system has the potential to help redefine the way doctors examine patients and ultimately help improve patient care by enhancing the physical exam and enabling more rapid diagnosis. The easy-to-use touchscreen interface is streamlined to display only the functions needed. P09 Touch’s powerful ultrasound technology can be used in many clinics, hospitals or practice settings and can be easily taken from room to room. This may prove invaluable for physicians in today’s busy practice environment including both primary care physicians and those specializing in critical care and women’s health, as well as hospitalists. The P09 system permits early diagnostic assessment in the emergent situation and demonstrates significant potential in the pre-hospital environment. It could help to look for free fluid and ensure that major trauma patients made it into surgery faster, with more information on their injuries available sooner. The system enables midwives with limited ultrasound training to quickly learn to operate and to effectively diagnose high-risk obstetric conditions such as multiple gestations, breech presentation, and placenta previa. The indigenous midwives can use it to diagnose potential complications and subsequently refer women with high risk conditions to appropriate medical facilities for delivery.
