Fujifilm SonoSite has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its X-Porte Ultrasound Kiosk scanner.
The kiosk integrates advanced signal processing for high-resolution imaging, 3D animated clinical guides, and a multigesture user interface, the company said.
The product is designed to be used at the point of care and is based on a proprietary imaging technology that SonoSite calls Extreme Definition Imaging (XDI). XDI significantly reduces visual clutter from side-lobe artifacts that affect all ultrasound imaging systems regardless of size, the firm said.
X-Porte comes in a stationary or detachable model, and SonoSite will begin shipping the system in the U.S. immediately. The product is already available in parts of Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
