Toshiba Viamo (SSA-640A) – High-performance portable ultrasound system
The Toshiba Viamo (SSA-640A) is a portable ultrasound scanner that combines clinical performance, flexibility of use and ease of transport. Designed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals looking for a device that is both accurate and mobile, it incorporates the same imaging technologies as the brand's high-end cart-based systems. This model is particularly suited to environments where rapid response and image quality are crucial, whether in a hospital ward, a mobile unit or a remote location.
One of the strengths of the Viamo lies in its ability to deliver exceptional image quality thanks to an imaging engine shared with the premium Aplio range. Its optimised imaging modes allow the finest tissue details to be visualised, revealing complex vascular structures and facilitating clinical assessment. Technologies such as Pulse Subtraction Tissue Harmonics, ApliPure and TissuePure improve resolution and contrast while reducing noise, ensuring accurate interpretation in all clinical applications.
The Viamo also stands out for its intuitive and customisable user interface. The fully programmable touchscreen allows the layout of controls to be configured according to operator preferences. Physical keys and on-screen controls can be assigned to specific functions, simplifying access to essential settings and reducing handling time. Navigation is organised into distinct zones to maintain optimal ergonomics during examinations.
Designed for portability, the Viamo is battery-powered and can be up and running in seconds. It attaches easily to a height-adjustable trolley, designed for smooth movement even in confined spaces. Its compact size and dedicated carrying case allow it to be taken anywhere, while maintaining the performance of an examination room ultrasound scanner. This model is therefore ideal for bedside procedures, emergency departments, operating theatres and medical missions in the field.
The Viamo can be easily integrated into hospital workflows thanks to its full DICOM compatibility and IHE compliance. It supports the recording, documentation and secure transfer of examinations, even in decentralised environments. Images can be exported to PDF on a USB stick for quick sharing with medical teams. Features such as QuickScan and SonoSet automatically optimise imaging settings or guide the user through pre-programmed protocols, improving the consistency and speed of examinations.
Thanks to its compatibility with a wide range of standard and specialised probes, the Viamo covers many clinical disciplines: abdominal imaging, obstetrics, gynaecology, cardiology, musculoskeletal, vascular and much more. This versatility makes it an essential tool for medical facilities seeking to combine performance, mobility and cost-effectiveness. Robust, reliable and ergonomic, it embodies Toshiba's expertise in diagnostic ultrasound, while paving the way for optimised use anywhere, anytime.
