Signos Mobile Ultrasound Imager Approved By FDA
Posted on May 20, 09 09:27 PM PDT
The FDA has approved the new Signos device, where it is actually a handheld self-contained portable ultrasound imager with a probe. This device will be useful for those who are looking to perform a quick initial diagnostic modality for intraabdominal processes, including ectopics, AAAs, for carotid scans in ER in patients with ongoing TIA, as well as an assistive device for central line placements. At this point in time, it looks as though the Signos lacks a Doppler for flow studies. Tipping the scales at slightly more than half a pound, you can choose from either a 3.5MHz or a 7.5MHz transducer which can be swapped. There is no word on when this will hit the mass market nor when will it be available.
