GE Vivid i
Overview
GE HealthCare covers the Vivid i and Vivid q in the same FDA filing and transducer guide. Both are described as compact and portable systems with an integrated keyboard, a fold-up display and interchangeable electronic-array transducers, measuring about 36 cm wide, 31.5 cm deep and 6 cm high in transport configuration.
A 2006 GE press release describes the Vivid i supplied with all relevant transducers, including TEE, for the operating room, the emergency room or mobile imaging services. GE’s Middle East Vivid page does not list the system, so Ultravision can advise on GE’s current cardiovascular systems and still service installed units.
GE’s current Vivid range does not include the Vivid i. We can advise on current portable Vivid systems and still service Vivid i units already installed.
