The compact solution features a wireless transducer and specialized interface to support bedside procedures.
Fujifilm Sonosite has introduced Sonosite iLOOK, a compact ultrasound system designed specifically for vascular access. The solution combines a specialized user interface, wireless transducer technology, and flexible mounting options to support procedures at the bedside.
Developed for vascular access workflows, the system features an interface that allows users to access controls and imaging modes. It supports arterial, venous, and peripheral intravenous examinations and includes Brightness mode, Color Velocity Doppler, and Color Power Doppler imaging modes to support clinical decision-making.
“Healthcare organizations are increasingly embracing ultrasound-guided vascular access which aims to enable improved consistency and support better procedural outcomes,” says Masaharu Fukumoto, president and CEO at Fujifilm Sonosite, in a release.
The system includes a wireless transducer weighing approximately 170 grams, which provides freedom of movement while reducing cable management. The solution also features flexible mounting options for various clinical environments and an integrated charging dock with visual status indicators.
“In developing the new Sonosite iLOOK, we carefully considered the challenges faced by our customers today to ensure this solution effectively addresses their needs,” says Dennis Giacomino, chief commercial officer at Fujifilm Sonosite, in a release.
According to the company, the system is intended to complement existing point-of-care ultrasound resources. By providing a dedicated solution for vascular access, healthcare organizations can reserve other ultrasound systems for broader imaging applications while ensuring teams have consistent access to imaging tailored to their daily workflows.
The launch follows the company’s history of offering specialized vascular access solutions, which began with the introduction of the Sonosite iLOOK 25 system in 2003. Users of the new system also have access to educational resources through the Sonosite Institute, which provides training materials for ultrasound-guided vascular access techniques and procedures.
