Philips ClearVue Ultrasound Family
ClearVue is Philips’ ultrasound family for women’s health care, in four systems: the ClearVue 350, 550, 650 and 850. Philips says the family can be upgraded with additional clinical features and transducers.
- Obstetrics
- Gynaecology
- 3D/4D fetal imaging
- Vascular tools (ClearVue 850)
Overview
Philips’ brochure describes the 350 as office-ready and able to grow with your needs, the 550 as hardworking for quick scans in busy settings, the 650 as highly adaptable with 3D/4D from the start, and the 850 as the system with added quantification and ergonomics. The tools are aimed at Ob/Gyn imaging, and the brochure shows fetal, uterine, ovarian and endocavitary 3D examples.
Philips describes the systems as compact and modular for easy serviceability, with low power consumption and low heat dissipation. Features differ by model: 3D/4D is included on the 850 and 650 and shown as an upgrade on the 550 and 350, while strain elastography, FloVue and intima media thickness imaging are marked on the 850 only. Ultravision can advise on Philips’ current women’s health systems and supports ClearVue systems already installed.
Philips’ newest documents for the ClearVue family date from 2015, so we confirm the availability of each model before quoting.
