Product Information
Brand:
Vscan Air CL is a compact, wireless ultrasound solution that combines two transducers in one handheld device, providing both deep and superficial imaging capabilities. With B-mode, Color Doppler, PW Doppler, M-mode, SignalMax™, HD-SRI, AI-powered bladder measurement, and smartphone/tablet connectivity, it delivers versatile ultrasound imaging directly at the point of care. Its portability, durability, and broad clinical applications make it an effective solution for OB/GYN, abdominal, vascular, MSK, lung, emergency, and primary-care ultrasound examinations.
Vscan Air CL is GE HealthCare’s wireless, handheld point-of-care ultrasound system, designed to provide portable ultrasound imaging whenever and wherever it is needed. Its dual-probe design combines curved and linear transducers in one device, allowing clinicians to perform both deep and superficial examinations without changing probes. It is particularly suited to OB/GYN, abdominal, vascular, musculoskeletal, lung, and point-of-care applications.
Key Benefits
- Dual-probe capability — curved and linear arrays integrated into a single handheld device.
- Wireless operation — connects directly to compatible iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
- Highly portable — weighs approximately 205 g, making it suitable for bedside, emergency, outpatient, ambulance, and point-of-care use.
- Multiple imaging modes — B-mode, M-mode, Color Doppler, and PW Doppler.
- Durable design — IP67 waterproof rating, military-standard drop testing, and compatibility with high-level disinfection.
- AI-supported applications including automated bladder-volume measurement.
Imaging & Technology
Dual Transducer Design
The curved array operates at 2–5 MHz with a maximum depth of approximately 24 cm, supporting:
- Abdominal imaging
- OB/GYN
- Urology
- Lung/thoracic
- Cardiac and hemodynamic assessment
- Pediatric applications
- Procedure guidance
The linear array operates at 3–12 MHz with a maximum depth of approximately 8 cm, supporting:
- Peripheral vascular
- Musculoskeletal
- Lung
- Small organs
- Nerves
- Neck and airway
- Superficial structures
- Procedure guidance.
SignalMax™ & HD-SRI
GE’s SignalMax™ technology combines miniaturized hardware with high transmit power to deliver strong imaging performance from a compact probe. High-Definition Speckle Reduction Imaging (HD-SRI) further enhances image detail and reduces speckle noise.
Imaging Modes
Vscan Air CL supports:
- B-mode – real-time anatomical imaging
- Color Doppler – visualization of blood flow
- PW Doppler – blood-flow velocity and direction assessment
- M-mode – assessment of tissue motion
- OB measurements for obstetric examinations.
AI & Digital Features
AI Bladder Volume
The system includes an AI-powered bladder-volume measurement algorithm, providing automated volume calculations while maintaining visualization of surrounding pelvic anatomy. GE describes this as a way to improve measurement efficiency and support clinical decision-making.
Vscan Air App
The probe connects to the Vscan Air app on a compatible smartphone or tablet. The interface is designed for simple touchscreen operation, with quick controls for:
- Freeze/unfreeze
- Store
- Color Doppler
- Gain
- Depth
- Presets
The probe button can also be configured for Freeze or Store.
