Z6Ms: Next-generation transoesophageal technology
The Z6Ms transducer represents excellence in transoesophageal cardiac imaging. Designed to work exclusively with the ACUSON SC2000™ system, this transducer incorporates an active electronic matrix that enables real-time volume imaging, which is essential for complex cardiovascular diagnostics.
With a bandwidth of 3.0 to 6.3 MHz, the Z6Ms offers exceptional resolution at various depths, allowing clinicians to visualise cardiac structures with remarkable clarity. It supports a wide range of imaging modes, including biplane, 2D, colour Doppler (CDV, DTV), spectral Doppler (PW, CW, DTI), M-mode, colour M-mode, as well as full B-mode and colour Doppler volume imaging.
One of the major advantages of the Z6Ms is its ergonomic design. With an endoscope diameter of 10.2 mm and a length of 100 cm, it is designed for easy insertion and optimal patient comfort. The tip size (15.5 mm wide, 12 mm high, circumference 49.8 mm) is optimised for smooth navigation in the oesophagus. In addition, programmable buttons and one-handed control allow for intuitive handling, reducing operator fatigue during prolonged procedures.
The Z6Ms is particularly suitable for demanding clinical environments such as intensive care units, operating theatres and echocardiography laboratories. It provides dynamic visualisation of the beating heart, which is essential for assessing valve function, blood flow and structural abnormalities.
The Z6Ms transducer is an indispensable tool for cardiologists and echocardiographers seeking high-precision transoesophageal imaging that combines performance, ergonomics and reliability.
