Philips Affiniti 70 Ultrasound System
Philips offers the Affiniti 70 in two roles, as a cardiovascular system and as a general imaging system with PureWave transducers. It is cart-based, with a 21.5 in articulating monitor, a tablet-like touchscreen and four transducer ports.
- Echocardiography with TEE
- Stress echocardiography
- Left ventricular opacification
- Vascular imaging
- Abdominal and obstetric
- Early obstetrics and gynaecology
Overview
Philips’ cardiovascular brochure lists adult and paediatric echocardiography with TEE, stress echocardiography, left ventricular opacification and vascular imaging for the Affiniti 70. Its general imaging brochure adds abdominal and obstetric exams with the PureWave C5-1 and C9-2 transducers, and early obstetric and gynaecological exams with the C10-3v.
The monitor articulates for viewing and folds down for transport. Philips says the system goes to sleep in two seconds and starts up in seconds after a move. Its cardiac tools a2DQ A.I. and aCMQ A.I. return ejection fraction, volumes and global longitudinal strain from 2D images, and Philips also lists strain and shear wave elastography with ElastPQ.
Philips’ current product page lists a variant of this system with its own name and extra tools, such as Auto Segmental Wall Motion Scoring. The specifications here come from Philips’ 2015 documents for the original Affiniti 70.

Key features
- PureWave
- PureWave transducers are designed to increase penetration in technically difficult patients, according to Philips’ 2015 brochure.
- Tissue Specific Presets (TSP)
- Philips says they adjust over 7500 parameters to optimise the transducer for the exam type.
- aCMQ A.I. and a2DQ A.I.
- a2DQ A.I. gives 2D ejection fraction and volumes within 10 seconds, per Philips, and aCMQ A.I. gives 2D global longitudinal strain and an ejection fraction from the same images.
- Strain and shear wave elastography
- Strain imaging for small parts, breast and gynaecology, and ElastPQ shear wave for tissue stiffness such as liver.
- Auto Doppler
- For vascular imaging, it positions the colour box and the sample volume in three steps.
- Real-time iSCAN
- Optimises gain and TGC automatically and continuously, and is a separate feature from Auto Doppler.
- SmartExam
- Plans and processes application protocols automatically; Philips’ 2015 brochure says it decreases exam time by 30–50%.

Philips Affiniti 70: questions
Which clinical areas does Philips list for the Affiniti 70?
Philips’ cardiovascular brochure lists adult and paediatric echocardiography with TEE, stress echocardiography, left ventricular opacification and vascular imaging. Its general imaging brochure adds abdominal, obstetric and early gynaecological exams with PureWave transducers.
What do a2DQ A.I. and aCMQ A.I. do on the Philips Affiniti 70?
On the Philips Affiniti 70, a2DQ A.I. gives 2D ejection fraction and volumes from echo images within 10 seconds, according to Philips. aCMQ A.I. gives 2D global longitudinal strain and calculates ejection fraction from the same images.
What is the difference between iSCAN and Auto Doppler on the Affiniti 70?
On the Philips Affiniti 70 they are separate features. Real-time iSCAN optimises gain and TGC automatically and continuously. Auto Doppler is for vascular imaging and positions the colour box and sample volume in three steps; it does not adjust gain or TGC.
Can the Philips Affiniti 70 be moved between rooms?
The Affiniti 70 is a cart-based system weighing 83.5 kg (184 lb) without peripherals. Philips says its monitor folds down for transport and that the system sleeps in two seconds and restarts in seconds after a move. It is not a hand-carried scanner.
How do I get a quotation for a Philips Affiniti 70 in Dubai?
Send Ultravision the exam types and transducers you need, or call +971 4 294 9965. Ultravision Medical Equipment Trading supplies the Philips Affiniti 70 in the UAE, confirms the configuration in the quotation and supports the system after delivery.
