Learn about Vscan Air - Pocket-Sized Wireless Ultrasound. Intended use, Indications of Use - supported care areas and imaging modes.
Vscan Air is a battery-operated general-purpose diagnostic ultrasound imaging system for use by qualified and trained healthcare professionals enabling visualization and measurement of anatomical structures and fluid.
Vscan Air consists of a dual headed probe which integrates both, curved and linear array transducers or sector and linear array transducers. It also includes an app which can be installed on Android or iOS mobile devices.
Its pocket-sized portability and simplified user interface enable integration into examination and training sessions indoors and in other environments. The information can be used for basic/ focused assessments and adjunctively with other medical data for clinical diagnosis purposes during routine, periodic monitoring, and triage assessments for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. Vscan Air can also be useful for procedural guidance.
The Vscan Air website is available for accessing supplementary product and clinical information.
Intended Use
Vscan Air is a software application on a mobile phone or tablet to be used with a Vscan Air probe. The Vscan Air app is intended for diagnostic ultrasound examinations, image guidance and for measurements of anatomical structures and fluid.
Vscan Air CL is a battery-operated general-purpose ultrasound probe and imaging system intended for diagnostic ultrasound examinations and image guidance that is to be used with a host SW and display device.
Vscan Air SL is a battery-operated general-purpose ultrasound probe intended for diagnostic ultrasound examinations and image guidance that is to be used with a host SW and display device.
Indications for Use
Vscan Air is a battery-operated software-based general-purpose ultrasound imaging system for use by qualified and trained healthcare professionals or practitioners that are legally authorized or licensed by law in the country, state or other local municipality in which he or she practices. The users may or may not be working under supervision or authority of a physician. Users may also include medical students working under the supervision or authority of a physician during their education / training. The device is enabling visualization and measurement of anatomical structures and fluid including blood flow.
Vscan Air’s pocket-sized portability and simplified user interface enables integration into training sessions and examinations in professional healthcare facilities (ex. Hospital, clinic, medical office), home environment, road/air ambulance and other environments as described in the user manual. The information can be used for basic/focused assessments and adjunctively with other medical data for clinical diagnosis purposes during routine, periodic follow-up, and triage.
Vscan Air supports black/white (B-mode), color flow (Color Doppler), Pulsed Wave Doppler mode, M-mode, combined (B + Color Doppler) and harmonic imaging modes with curved, linear and sector array transducers.
With the curved array transducer of the dual headed probe solution, the specific clinical applications and exam types include: abdominal, fetal/obstetrics, gynecological, urology, thoracic/lung, cardiac (adult and pediatric, 40 kg and above), vascular/peripheral vascular, musculoskeletal (conventional), pediatrics, interventional guidance (includes free hand needle/ catheter placement, fluid drainage, nerve block and biopsy).
With the linear array transducer of the dual headed probe solution, the specific clinical applications and exam types include: vascular/peripheral vascular, musculoskeletal (conventional and superficial), small organs, thoracic/lung, ophthalmic, pediatrics, neonatal cephalic, interventional guidance (includes free hand needle/catheter placement, fluid drainage, nerve block, vascular access and biopsy).
With the sector array transducer of the dual headed probe solution, the specific clinical applications and exam types include: cardiac (adult and pediatric, 40 kg and above), abdominal, fetal/obstetrics, gynecological, urology, thoracic/ lung, pediatrics, adult cephalic, interventional guidance (includes free hand needle/catheter placement, fluid drainage, nerve block and biopsy).
