Vscan Extend is a pocket-sized, battery powered general purpose diagnostic ultrasound system. The system consists of a handheld unit with a 5 inch touch screen display and a permanently attached probe.


The battery can be charged either in the system or alone. The system is capable of transferring images wirelessly to a DICOM server, Windows Share or via Cloud. Data can also be exported to a standard PC using a wired USB export.


Capabilities also include access to GE Marketplace, which allows the user to download Bladder Volume, Lung Protocol, and Tricefy Uplink Apps.


Intended use

Vscan Extend is a general purpose diagnostic ultrasound imaging system for use by qualified and trained healthcare professionals enabling visualization and measurement of anatomical structures and fluid.


Indications for use (for all countries except USA, China and Japan)

Vscan Extend is a general purpose diagnostic ultrasound imaging system for use by qualified and trained healthcare professionals enabling visualization and measurement of anatomical structures and fluid. It's pocket-sized portability and simplified user interface enables integration into examination and training sessions indoors and in other environments described in the user manual. The information can be used for basic/focused assessments and adjunctively with other medical data for clinical diagnosis purposes during routine, periodic monitoring, and triage.


With the phased array transducer on the sector probe, the specific clinical applications and exam types include: Cardiac; Abdominal; Renal; OB/GYN; Urology; Fetal, Evaluation of Presence of Fluid; Imaging Guidance for Needle/Catheter Placement (e.g. paracentesis, pericardiocentesis, thoracentesis, amniocentesis); Peripheral Vascular Imaging (e.g. arteries and veins); Thoracic/Lung (e.g. pleural motion/sliding, line artifacts); Adult Cephalic; and Pediatrics.


With the addition of the linear array transducer on the single dual headed probe solution, the specific clinical applications and exam types are expanded to include: Peripheral vascular imaging (e.g. lower extremity, carotid); Procedure Guidance for Arterial or Venous Vessels (e.g. central lines, upper extremity); Small Organs (e.g. thyroid); Musculoskeletal (Long Bone; Hip, shoulder, elbow and Knee Joints); Evaluation of Presence of Fluid; Thoracic/Lung (e.g. pleural motion/sliding, line artifacts); Ophthalmic*; and Pediatrics.
