SonoSite X-Porte is the next step in ultrasound for emergency medicine

Sept. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Accident and Emergency services at The Royal Oldham Hospital, part of the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, are benefitting from the advanced point-of-care imaging capabilities of Fujifilm SonoSite’s X-Porte ultrasound system. Rip Gangahar, Consultant in Emergency Medicine and Trauma Lead for the Trust, explained: “We have been using SonoSite’s point-of-care ultrasound systems for 10 years, from the TITAN^® through to the latest systems, and were lucky enough to receive the very first X-Porte delivered in the world.”

“Ultrasound is an integral part of our daily practice within the Emergency Department, and is used in a wide range of cases, from suspected aneurysms or gall stones to fractures and pregnancy complications. The X­-Porte really is on a whole new level in terms of speed and ease of operation, and the image quality rivals many much larger, more expensive systems. The echocardiogram function is also a step ahead in terms of both image quality and the software.”

“The X-Porte is very intuitive to use, and offers a number of useful features to improve day-­to-­day operation, such as the education and training module and the ability to save images directly to an external flash drive. It is very easy to wipe down – which is important from an infection control perspective – and this, combined with the portability and robustness that is a trademark of all SonoSite instruments, makes the system ideally suited to an emergency setting.”
