Bedside device for rapid abdominal, cardiac and lung screening
A versatile bedside ultrasound for primary and acute care. Quickly screen the abdomen, heart and lungs to support faster triage and clinical decisions without sending patients elsewhere.
Apply with this devicePrimary care POCUS is focused ultrasound built into the clinical examination itself — often described as the modern extension of the stethoscope. Instead of a full radiology study, the clinician asks targeted yes/no questions at the bedside: Is there free fluid in the abdomen? Is this breathlessness caused by fluid around the lung? Is the heart pumping adequately? Is the bladder in retention? Each answer takes minutes and immediately changes management.
Where laboratory tests and X-ray are scarce or far away, POCUS often provides the single most decisive piece of diagnostic information available at the first visit. Internationally validated protocols — FAST and its East-African adaptation FASH (Focused Assessment with Sonography for HIV/TB), lung protocols, focused cardiac views — are specifically designed to be learned in short, structured courses by general practitioners, clinical officers and nurses. The result: faster triage, fewer unnecessary referrals, and earlier detection of the patients who truly must reach hospital.
Abdominal screening
Detect free fluid (FAST/FASH), screen the liver, spleen and gallbladder (gallstones), and identify hydronephrosis in flank pain or suspected obstruction.
Lung & pleural assessment
Find pleural effusions (including TB-related), lung consolidation in pneumonia, and pneumothorax — often more sensitively than a portable chest X-ray.
Focused cardiac views
Assess gross pumping function, detect pericardial effusion, and judge volume status via the inferior vena cava (IVC) in shock, sepsis and dehydration.
Bladder & urinary tract
Measure bladder volume objectively, confirm urinary retention before catheterisation, and screen the kidneys for obstruction.
Guided vascular access
Place IV lines and central catheters under real-time needle guidance — fewer attempts, fewer complications.
Soft tissue & MSK
Distinguish an abscess needing drainage from cellulitis, evaluate swellings, and screen for fractures where X-ray is unavailable.
DVT screening
Compression ultrasound of the leg veins in suspected deep-vein thrombosis before referral or anticoagulation decisions.
Rapid triage protocols
Combine views (FAST, FASH, lung, cardiac) into structured protocols for trauma, shock, breathlessness and suspected TB/HIV complications.
Multi-exam probe coverage
A curved probe for deep abdominal work, a linear probe for superficial/vascular imaging and a sector (phased-array) view for the heart — or a whole-body single probe / dual-headed design that covers all three.
Per-exam presets with fast switching
One-touch presets (abdomen, lung, cardiac, bladder, vascular, MSK) keep the focused workflow fast — the exam should take minutes, not setup time.
B-mode quality with tissue harmonics
Clear grey-scale imaging with harmonics and speckle reduction is the foundation of every yes/no protocol answer, including on difficult patients.
M-mode
Needed for IVC diameter measurement (volume status), pneumothorax confirmation (barcode/seashore sign) and basic cardiac measurements.
Colour / Power / PW Doppler
Colour and Power Doppler distinguish vessels and confirm flow (abscess vs vessel, DVT compression); Pulsed-Wave supports basic flow assessment.
Needle visualization
Enhanced needle imaging makes guided IV access, drainages and blocks safer for less-experienced operators.
Fast boot, battery & durability
Bedside use demands scanning within seconds, battery operation through a clinic day, and a rugged, easy-to-disinfect body (drop-tested, sealed or waterproof designs).
Storage, DICOM & tele-ultrasound
Saved clips document findings for referral and quality review; remote live-sharing lets a specialist supervise a clinical officer's scan in real time.
