GE HealthCare announced the launch of enhanced Venue ultrasound systems and a new solution setting the pace of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS): Venue Sprint. The Venue Sprint is a new ultrasound device designed for portability that combines Venue software and AI-enabled tools, improvded image quality, and wireless probe capability with Vscan Air handheld ultrasound systems. Other Venue family ultrasound systems will also now offer wireless probe connectivity, supplementary advanced clinical tools and the latest ViewPoint 6 updates for increased efficiency and optimized workflow.
POCUS continues to grow as a valuable tool for clinicians due to its portability and ability to provide detailed images that can offer real-time information and insights at the point of care.
Venue Sprint is a portable system in a tablet form with wireless Vscan Air dual-probes enabling clinicians to provide care across a wide range of environments, including critical care, emergency medicine, medical transport, and more. Venue Sprint includes AI-enabled resources and documentation tools designed to simplify manual processes and drive consistency - tools that can be found across the full Venue family.
Other Venue family ultrasound systems will also gain optional integration of wireless Vscan Air dual-probes, and all Venue family ultrasound systems have access to Caption Guidance, which provides turn-by-turn, on-screen guidance to help capture diagnostic-quality cardiac ultrasound images. In addition, Venue ultrasound systems feature optional clinical tools to assist users of varying experience levels to conduct patient exams, including:
- Bladder Volume Tool – Features reference images as guidance and supports clinicians in calculation of the bladder volume to make the process simple and fast.
- Auto Volume Flow – Auto measurement tool calculating arterial flow volume in real-time.
- Venue Coach MSK – Documentation tool that provides reference images and anatomy markups, and video tutorials to help users acquire the scans they need.
- ViewPoint 6 ultrasound reporting software will now expand to Venue Sprint, bringing features like Direct Send that enables a silent workflow for clinicians to review, update and finalize on-board reports for added efficiency.
- The latest release of ViewPoint 6 adds features and functionality to align with American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) guidelines, expand into new regions, and improve customer workflow with the ability to configure worksheet templates.
GE HealthCare will showcase the robust Venue family ultrasound systems at the ACEP Scientific Assembly taking place on September 29 - October 2, 2024 in Las Vegas. The Venue family, including the Venue Sprint, are available in the U.S. and will launch in key countries around the globe this year. Caption Guidance on the Venue family is currently only available in the U.S.
