GE Medical Systems received FDA 510(k) clearance last month for the fifth ultrasound scanner in its new Logiq series, Logiq 3.
Logiq 5 and Logiq Book were approved in January, while Logiq 7 and Logiq 9 -- the top two scanners in the new GE line -- are already on the market. Logiq 7 and Logiq 9 replace Logiq 700, which had been the vendor’s top scanner. Although GE plans to continue selling Logiq 700, this machine is now upgradable to either Logiq 7 or Logiq 9, GE said.
Although GE will not comment on either Logiq 5 or Logiq 3, the former can be equipped with a wider range of transducers than the latter, and will be marketed to a lower market segment than Logiq 7.
Logiq 3 is smaller than Logiq 5, 49 x 85 cm, compared to 52 x 99 cm. Logiq 5 is equipped with a touch-screen as well as a standard CRT display.
