Ultrasound system CX50 POC - New 2024

CX50 POC: Redefining Portable Ultrasound Imaging

The Philips CX50 Point-of-Care (POC) portable ultrasound system represents a significant advancement in portable imaging technology, specifically designed to address the complexities associated with challenging patient scenarios. Whether in a busy emergency room or a remote satellite location, the CX50 POC is engineered to deliver exceptional imaging capabilities, allowing clinicians to make rapid and confident diagnostic decisions.

At the heart of the CX50 POC is Philips’ innovative PureWave crystal technology, which offers superb image quality for a wide variety of patient types. This transducer technology, available in the S5-1, C5-1, and X7-2t models, ensures that even the most difficult patients can be assessed with clarity and precision. The system’s ability to produce high-resolution images facilitates a better understanding of patient conditions, ultimately leading to improved outcomes.

Enhancing the imaging capabilities of the CX50 POC, Philips’ SonoCT and XRES technologies play a crucial role. SonoCT utilizes a unique compounding technique that captures multiple angles in real-time, resulting in extraordinary image quality. Complementing this, XRES actively reduces speckle noise, improving clarity and margin definition in ultrasound images. This combination of technologies ensures that clinicians have access to the clearest and most detailed images possible, facilitating diagnosis and treatment planning.

Workflow efficiency is paramount in any clinical environment, and the CX50 POC excels in this area. The one-button iSCAN feature optimizes images and Doppler signals with minimal effort, allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care rather than technical adjustments. This intuitive design helps streamline the imaging process, ensuring that clinicians can perform examinations quickly and efficiently.

Mobility is another key feature of the CX50 POC, making it ideal for various clinical environments. Its compact design allows for easy maneuverability, even in confined spaces. Additionally, the convenient travel case facilitates transport to satellite locations, ensuring that high-quality images are always within reach. This portability is further enhanced by battery operation, which allows clinicians to perform multiple exams without needing to shut down the system, thus saving valuable time in critical situations.

Security is a priority for Philips, especially when it comes to protecting patient data. The CX50 POC incorporates a comprehensive multi-layer security strategy, featuring five layers: firewall protection, operating system hardening, malware defense, access controls, and patient data encryption. This robust approach helps safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access, ensuring that both healthcare providers and patients can trust the system's security.

The CX50 POC also offers features designed to enhance usability and facilitate better clinical decision-making. The multiport adapter allows for easy switching between up to three transducers mid-exam, maximizing flexibility and efficiency. The side-by-side M-mode functionality enables real-time lung imaging interpretation, enhancing the clinician's ability to assess respiratory conditions.

Moreover, the CX50 POC includes Needle Visualization technology, which improves the presentation of the needle during ultrasound-guided procedures without degrading image quality. This feature is invaluable for quick and accurate needle guidance, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of invasive procedures.

For those requiring advanced assessment and analysis capabilities, the QLAB tool provides automated and objective methods for quantifying ultrasound data. The comprehensive suite of plug-ins allows customization to meet specific clinical needs, further reinforcing the system's versatility.

Finally, the Remote Reporting feature, available through Telexy Qpath, enables clinicians to access ultrasound images and complete exam reports from the point of care. This capability enhances workflow, particularly in fast-paced environments like emergency departments, where timely decision-making is crucial.
