Philips ClearVue 550

The Philips ClearVue 550 Ultrasound is a dependable, compact diagnostic imaging system designed to deliver superior performance and image quality across a broad range of clinical applications. As the midrange model in the ClearVue series, it combines advanced imaging technologies with a user-friendly design to ensure precision in exams such as abdominal, small parts, pediatrics, musculoskeletal, urology, obstetrics, gynecology, vascular, and cardiac.

Leveraging cutting-edge SonoCT Compound Imaging and XRES (eXtreme Resolution Speckle Reduction) technologies, the ClearVue 550 enhances image quality by minimizing artifacts and providing clear, detailed images in 2D, 3D, and 4D modes. Its powerful imaging capabilities are complemented by advanced Doppler features—including PW/Color/Power Angio Doppler and HPRF PW Doppler—for thorough blood flow and stress imaging analysis.

Key features include:

• High-Resolution Display & Ergonomic Design:
  A tilt-and-swivel 19-inch high-resolution LCD monitor mounted on an articulating arm provides optimal viewing angles. The system is engineered with a simplified interface and lightweight transducers, making it easy to operate and highly versatile.
• Robust Imaging Modes:
  Delivers 2D, M-Mode, and Anatomical M-Mode imaging, as well as trapezoidal, duplex, and triplex modes. Additional functionalities include Cineloop review, HD Zoom, and panoramic imaging for comprehensive diagnostics.
• Efficient Data Management & Connectivity:
  Comes equipped with 3 USB ports, an integrated multi-session CD/DVD drive, DICOM compatibility, and an Ethernet port. An internal hard drive (500GB) ensures ample storage for patient data and imaging sessions.
• Technical Excellence:
  Built on an all-digital broadband beamformer with 65,536 digitally-processed channels and capable of achieving up to 272 dB dynamic range, this system operates efficiently on low power (450VA, with 300VA consumed) while maintaining minimal heat output (<700 BTUs/hour).

Engineered for clinical efficiency and reliability, the Philips ClearVue 550 Ultrasound stands out as a versatile imaging solution that boosts diagnostic accuracy and streamlines workflow in modern healthcare settings.
