Philips CX50 CompactXtreme Ultrasound System
The Philips CX50 CompactXtreme is a laptop-sized ultrasound system with a carry handle that can also be used on a cart or packed in a travel case. It connects up to three transducers, and Philips lists exam types from cardiac to obstetric and surgical.
- Cardiac
- Vascular
- Abdominal
- Obstetrics and gynaecology
- Emergency department
- Critical care
Overview
Philips’ December 2018 brochure lists bedside exams, the emergency department, critical care, satellite locations, the OR and interventional suite, and NICU and PICU as settings for the CX50. Exam types run from cardiac 2D and Doppler to abdominal, vascular, breast, musculoskeletal, paediatric, superficial, obstetric, gynaecological and surgical work. Philips states the system is intended for use in healthcare facilities.
The brochure lists twelve transducers, including the PureWave X7-2t and X8-2t TEE probes. Philips says its PureWave crystal technology provides tissue detail, enhanced far field resolution and the ability to image a wide variety of patients, and that SonoCT combines up to nine lines of sight into one real-time image.
The details here come from Philips’ December 2018 CX50 brochure. We confirm availability before quoting, can advise on current Philips systems and support CX50 units already installed.
