Bothell, WA, October, 24, 2014 (Booth # 214) – FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc., the world leader and pioneering specialist in bedside and point-of-care ultrasound, will showcase educational offerings and its high-resolution ultrasound kiosk, the X-Porte™ for healthcare professionals at the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) Scientific Assembly on October 27 – 30 at McCormick Place Convention Centre in Chicago, IL.
"FUJIFILM Sonosite has long recognised the very specific needs of emergency physicians, and it offers products that are uniquely suited to provide full diagnostic capabilities at the bedside," said Diku Mandavia, MD, FACEP FRCPC, Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President, FUJIFILM Sonosite Inc. "With FUJIFILM, you're accessing far more than a quality medical device — you're accessing our acclaimed package of ongoing customer, clinical, and educational services."
Customers can count on continual innovation and comprehensive services provided by FUJIFILM.
The following will be featured at ACEP:
- FUJIFILM Sonosite will showcase its high-resolution ultrasound kiosk, the X-Porte™ and five new transducers, including: C11xp, C35xp, HFL 38xp, HSL25xp and P10xp. X-Porte was designed to cure side-lobe imageing artefacts, through a new type of technology never before used in an ultrasound system: Sonosite's proprietary Extreme Definition Imageing™ (XDI). XDI is a new beam forming algorithm that significantly reduces the visual clutter from side-lobes that affect all ultrasound products regardless of system size. The resulting ultrasound image appears cleaner with optimal tissue differentiation. The technological innovations are a result of the feedback and experiences of hundreds of clinicians that were observed during the development of the ultrasound kiosk.
- The popular SonoAccess™ educational app, a free mobile device application that provides the healthcare community with access to a multimedia library of ultrasound resources will also be showcased. The new SonoAccess 2.0 app includes instructional videos, clinical image galleries and a variety of case studies. FUJIFILM Sonosite redesigned the app from the ground-up based on collabouration from existing users, added more features and workflow improvements, and extended its reach to include all Apple and Android phones and tablets.
- FUJIFILM Sonosite Solutions will also be promoted at the scientific assembly. The programme includes a guidebook and resource centre that provides healthcare professionals with practise guidelines, procedure protocols, key metrics for benchmark success, educational videos and more.
