Samsung HS50A: A High-Performance Ultrasound Solution for Diverse Clinical Needs
The Samsung HS50A is a versatile diagnostic ultrasound system designed to meet the daily demands of healthcare professionals in medical imaging departments. Its design combines reliability, ergonomic functionality, and adaptability across a range of clinical specialties. It features a 21.5-inch LED-backlit main LCD display with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080), providing optimal visualization of anatomical details and accurate contrast representation.
The user interface is based on a dual-display system, combining a 10.1-inch touch panel with a physical console. This configuration allows for smooth and efficient interaction, streamlining navigation between modes and functions while ensuring excellent responsiveness during examinations. The interface is available in multiple languages, including French, which enhances accessibility for users in both hospital and private practice settings.
The HS50A supports a wide range of transducers, including linear, convex, endocavitary, phased array, CW, and 3D probes, allowing adaptation to all clinical scenarios. Three probe ports are standard, with an optional fourth port available, offering flexible configuration based on institutional needs. In terms of imaging, the HS50A offers comprehensive modes: 2D, M-mode, pulsed and continuous Doppler, color Doppler, Power Doppler, TDI, ElastoScan, and even 3D/4D capabilities with XI STIC imaging, enabling highly detailed obstetric examinations.
The system also features advanced signal processing tools such as zoom, spatial filtering, image orientation, and dynamic apodization and aperture control. It allows precise image manipulation and real-time optimization through the Quick Scan button. Internal memory can store up to 45,000 images in Cine memory and 14,000 lines in Loop memory, facilitating storage and review of diagnostic sessions.
Mounted on a mobile console with integrated brakes, the unit includes storage compartments, USB ports (front and rear), HDMI, VGA, network, audio outputs, and connections for printers or DVD recorders. It supports multiple internal and external peripherals such as video printers, USB printers, DVD burners, and a customizable three-function footswitch. Beyond its modularity, the HS50A complies with international medical standards, including IEC 60601 and ISO 14971, ensuring safe use in clinical environments.
Designed for continuous operation, this device is intended for demanding clinical environments while ensuring the protection of sensitive patient data. It is recommended for use by clinicians trained in clinical pathology.
