Having the right equipment on hand for cardiology patients will speed up diagnosis, assist in early detection of cardiovascular disease and malformations and provide the specific imaging requirements for medical professionals during all stages of monitoring and treatment.
One of the most commonly used cardiac ultrasound systems in hospitals and clinics today is the GV Vivid T8. This is a mobile yet very advanced console-based system that can be transported through the facility or used in a specific unit or lab.
One of the advantages of this cardiac ultrasound is that it is fully compatible with the GE LOGIQ systems. This allows greater data capture and connectivity, providing an enhanced ability to share data and have specialists or others on the treatment team access data remotely and in real-time.
Configuration of the Unit
The GV Vivid T8 is set up with the needs of the medical professions as well as the patient front and center. The system offers a full nineteen-inch monitor, providing enough detail and size with the image for clarity and interpretation with all the different testing protocols.
Additionally, the system offers an articulate arm for the monitor to allow correct positioning for anyone requiring line of sight to the display. This is important for the doctor or the sonographer to be able to show the patient or to position the monitor for their own viewing.
The control system is set up to be applicable to real-world needs. The main controls are all set up on convenient buttons to the bottom of the console for easy access. They are grouped around the center ball-control pad that is very intuitive to use.
Above the controls are the keyboard and the touch screen. The operator can choose to use various control features to access the same programs, so it is very flexible to the requirements of the individual sonographer or doctor.
Logistics
The entire GV Vivid T8 cardiovascular ultrasound system only weighs 128 pounds or 58 kilograms. This makes it easy to move through the hospital or clinic with just one person, plus the system offers locking castors and full swiveling wheels for easy positioning even in tight spaces.
The monitor will fold down and rotate to lock into position when in transport or when not in use. There are four active probe ports on the unit with an ECG port and full cable management to keep everything sorted securely on the console base at all times during moving and operation.
