GE Healthcare's 3S-RS probe: compact and accurate cardio-abdominal performance
The GE Healthcare 3S-RS is a phased array sector array ultrasound probe designed to deliver superior imaging performance in adult cardiac and abdominal applications. Developed for Vivid i portable systems, this probe combines miniaturisation, image quality and ease of use, meeting the requirements of clinicians in cardiology, internal medicine and intensive care.
With a frequency range of 1.5 to 3.6 MHz, the 3S-RS allows for effective exploration of deep structures while maintaining excellent resolution. Its 90° field of view provides a wide and dynamic view of cardiac structures, even in complex clinical situations. The exploration depth of up to 30 cm allows optimal visualisation of the heart, large vessels and abdominal cavity in adults.
Its ergonomic, lightweight ComfortScan design makes it easy to handle and reduces user fatigue during prolonged examinations. The probe is equipped with a miniaturised RS connector, ensuring optimal compatibility with Vivid i ultrasound systems while simplifying connection and handling.
The 3S-RS is multi-angle and comes with a reusable stand compatible with disposable tips, ensuring a high level of hygiene between patients while reducing maintenance costs. This modular design is particularly suitable for high-throughput environments such as hospitals, clinics and emergency departments.
Finally, its small footprint of 19 x 27 mm allows excellent accessibility to restricted acoustic windows, such as in transthoracic cardiac imaging. Its accuracy also makes it a reliable tool for emergency examinations, sports medicine or mobile settings.
Whether for diagnosing heart conditions, monitoring hospitalised patients or performing routine abdominal examinations, the 3S-RS probe is a trusted tool. It demonstrates GE Healthcare's commitment to providing innovative, portable and high-performance solutions in the field of medical imaging.
