Lumify handheld ultrasound
Right. Where you need it. Lumify handheld ultrasound is the ultimate in portability for emergency medicine because it can be carried in a pocket so it’s always at the ready. Scan for hours with Lumify [6]. Lumify also features the most portable transducer design with the lightest weight in handheld ultrasound [7]. Lumify, when compared with other handheld devices, ranked highest in image quality [4] so you can assess patients in the ED with confidence.
Compact Ultrasound System 5000 Series
Some compact ultrasound systems have capabilities as small as their size. Philips Compact 5000 Series for emergency medicine is different. It’s compact without compromise, helping to meet the increasing challenges of caring for the variety of patients in the fast-paced ED. This system has many of the advances of Philips premium ultrasound, including advanced cardiac capabilities to guide fluid resuscitation and shock management, as well as TEE for full hemodynamic assessment in cardiac arrest.
