PHILIPS INTRODUCES THE CX50 POC ULTRASOUND SYSTEM

WHAT:

The Philips CX50 POC, a new point of care configuration for Philips' compact and highly portable CX50 ultrasound system, is now available.  

WHY:  

Designed for use in point-of-care settings (bringing the ultrasound to the patient, not the patient to ultrasound), the CX50 POC can provide reliable information to clinicians during ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and ultrasound-guided pain management.  The technology can also be applied in critical/intensive care and emergency care settings.  The CX50 POC offers a broad range of capabilities needed for ultrasound-guided procedures and focused exams, including cardiac, vascular access, lung, abdominal, OB/GYN and musculoskeletal. It is well-suited for: 

  • Technically difficult exams and procedures, including those for patients who are obese, unable to move or on ventilators
  • Physicians that require a high level of confidence for point-of-care imaging decisions and procedures
  • Customers that value intuitive system controls and workflow features such as quick, one-button automated image optimization
  • Customers who want a system which offers advanced capabilities that can grow with them as their ultrasound program expands 

Philips' ultrasound service and support, ranked #1 by IMV for 17 consecutive years, is available with the CX50 POC, along with education solutions tailored to point-of-care ultrasound users.
