Bothell, WA, 3 July 2023 – FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc. – The world leader in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) solutions has added to its leading portfolio of systems with the launch of the Sonosite ST. Designed with the busy proceduralist in mind, Sonosite ST offers a new 21-inch all-touchscreen interface, a large 10” by 7.5” image area, automated setting optimisation for each investigation type, Auto Steep Needle Profiling (SNP) and more. Sonosite ST also shares the same family of transducers with Sonosite PX and Sonosite LX to support compatibility across systems.
As the company that invented POCUS we’ve spent the last 25 years working with clinical customers to innovate and advance the use of ultrasound at the patient's bedside,
said FUJIFILM Sonosite President and CEO Rich Fabian.
That collaboration has once again delivered results in the form of a system designed for proceduralists, something engineered to help them save time, increase confidence and improve outcomes.
At a time when hospitals are facing unprecedented clinical staffing challenges, we believe the Sonosite ST has the potential to improve both the clinician and patient experience, while at the same time enabling increased throughput,
Fabian said.
I’m very confident the Sonosite ST will become an industry workhorse for procedure-focused clinicians,
Fabian added.
The Sonosite ST features optimised investigation types for the POCUS-guided procedures used most often, including nerve block administration in regional anaesthesia, vascular access in emergency medicine and joint injections in musculoskeletal care. This enables proceduralists to rapidly select the appropriate investigation type for their procedure at the touch of a button, allowing them to access the most needed optimisations, annotations and callipers to simplify their workflow.
The value of POCUS has been clearly demonstrated in my care delivery and I’m thrilled to see it becoming standard practice for needle-based interventions across a variety of healthcare specialisms including anaesthesia, vascular and musculoskeletal care, and beyond,
says anaesthetist, Dr David Auyong.
I look forward to using Fujifilm’s new Sonosite ST, which will take the value of POCUS-guidance a step further for proceduralists by prioritising and streamlining access to critical investigation types with amazing image clarity.
As with all FUJIFILM Sonosite POCUS systems, the Sonosite ST is built to legendary durability, reliability and ease-of-use standards. The ultrasound transducers are drop-tested to one metre and the work surface is sealed to the edge for simplified cleaning and disinfection. FUJIFILM Sonosite also provides an industry-leading five-year warranty, which reduces cost of ownership over time.
