Ultrasound system HS40 - New 2024

HS40: Revolutionary Ultrasound with CrystalLive™ and AI, Exceptional Performance and User Comfort

The HS40 represents the pinnacle of innovation in ultrasound, offering advanced features and cutting-edge technology to meet the demanding needs of healthcare professionals. Equipped with CrystalLive™ technology, this revolutionary system redefines standards in medical imaging by providing exceptional precision in processing 2D and 3D volume images. The CrystalLive™ ultrasound architecture elevates performance to a higher level, ensuring unparalleled image quality even in the most complex clinical scenarios.

The exceptional image quality of the HS40 is supported by HQ-Vision™ technology, optimizing the visualization of structures by increasing spatial resolution and tissue interface contrast. S-Harmonic™ technology goes further by providing remarkably sharp images throughout the depth of exploration, creating uniform images through a significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio. Combined with S-Vue™ probes and S-Vision™ beam former, S-Harmonic™ technology sets new standards for high-quality images.

The ClearVision noise reduction filter adds an extra dimension by enhancing the contours of anatomical structures and increasing the signal-to-noise ratio. 2D images become sharper, facilitating tissue differentiation and enhancing overall diagnostic capability. The MultiVision tool, with its various cross-beam shooting levels, improves structure contours, spatial resolution, and contrast resolution while reducing artifacts. This feature ensures a comprehensive and accurate imaging experience.

The examination becomes fluid with quick presets, allowing users to quickly select their probe and favorite settings with a simple touch on the HS40's touchscreen. The EzExam+™ tool offers optimal flexibility by allowing the creation and use of predefined protocols, simplifying recurrent and standardized examinations. For obstetric ultrasound, organizing the examination order based on the fetus's position becomes a reality, facilitated by automatic access to annotations and slice-by-slice measurements based on the chosen protocol.

Mobility is a major asset thanks to BatteryAssist™ technology, enabling battery operation. This provides usage flexibility by moving the ultrasound to temporarily power-deprived sites, while reducing startup time through the standby mode without having to turn off or restart the device. This dual functionality improves operational efficiency and meets the changing needs of the medical environment.

The HS40 goes beyond conventional imaging with the S-Detect™ for Breast function, integrating artificial intelligence to standardize reports and the classification of breast lesions. By selecting a suspicious area, S-Detect™ for Breast automatically defines the contour, characterizes the lesion, and proposes a classification according to the BI-RADS® (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) recommendations. This enhances diagnostic accuracy, speeding up the decision-making process for faster results.

Evaluating tissue elasticity becomes quick and simple with E-Strain™, allowing precise analysis of the elasticity ratio between a target area and a reference area. ElastoScan™, HS40's elastography technology, facilitates the detection of solid nodules by providing functional information about tissues. Color mapping represents tissue hardness, offering valuable data beyond conventional examinations.

The integrated Auto IMT+ function measures intima-media thickness quickly and simply, contributing to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. This simplicity improves examination efficiency while increasing patient comfort. NeedleMate+™ facilitates interventional procedures by improving needle visualization, thus enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of medical procedures.

The HS40 also offers a variety of advanced modes to meet specific needs. The panoramic mode allows extended visualization in a single image, supporting angle variations during scanning with a linear probe. The Strain+ tool evaluates left ventricular contractility quickly and easily, segment by segment, providing a comprehensive and accurate view of cardiac function.

The NerveTrack™ function detects and highlights nerves in real-time, improving the accuracy and safety of interventional procedures. The StressEcho package expands the capabilities of the HS40 by enabling stress ultrasound examinations, with pre-integrated protocols and the ability to create custom protocols.

On the ergonomic side, the HS40 is equipped with a 21.5-inch LED monitor offering quality color images, a 10.1-inch touchscreen for smooth operation, and a state-of-the-art SSD hard drive for quick startup and optimal processing speeds. The gel warmer with two adjustment levels maintains ultrasound gel at a pleasant temperature, while the silent operation device promotes communication with the patient.

The adjustable position of the control panel, the dedicated endocavitary probe holder for gynecological examinations, the articulated monitor with a wide range of movements, and the convenient storage spaces, both at the rear and side, make the HS40 a comprehensive device meeting diverse healthcare professional needs. In summary, the HS40 pushes the boundaries of ultrasound, offering an exceptional combination of performance, versatility, and ergonomic design.
