FUJIFILM Sonosite Inc. recently announced the launch of Sonosite iLOOK, a compact ultrasound solution designed specifically for vascular access. Sonosite iLOOK combines a purpose-built user interface, wireless transducer technology and flexible mounting options in a streamlined solution intended to support vascular access procedures at the bedside
“Developed specifically for vascular access workflows, Sonosite iLOOK features an uncluttered interface designed to help users quickly access the controls and imaging modes most relevant to the procedure. The system supports arterial, venous, and peripheral intravenous (PIV) examinations and includes B-mode (Brightness mode), CVD (Color Velocity Doppler), and CPD (Color Power Doppler) imaging modes to support confident clinical decision-making,” a press release states.
“Healthcare organizations are increasingly embracing ultrasound-guided vascular access which aims to enable improved consistency and support better procedural outcomes,” said Masaharu Fukumoto, President & CEO, FUJIFILM Sonosite. “With Sonosite iLOOK, we saw an opportunity to create a dedicated solution designed specifically for these critical workflows. The new solution complements our broader point-of-care ultrasound portfolio while giving vascular access teams a streamlined, easy-to-use system that they can rely on.”
“Since the launch of our original Sonosite iLOOK 25 system in 2003, FUJIFILM Sonosite has remained dedicated to offering specialized vascular access solutions within our product portfolio. In developing the new Sonosite iLOOK, we carefully considered the challenges faced by our customers today to ensure this solution effectively addresses their needs,” said Dennis Giacomino, Chief Commercial Officer, FUJIFILM Sonosite.
Key features of Sonosite iLOOK mentioned in the press release are:
- Purpose-built user interface designed specifically for vascular access workflows.
- Wireless transducer design that provides greater freedom of movement around the bedside while reducing cable management.
- Lightweight transducer weighing approximately 170 grams.
- Flexible VESA-compatible mounting options that enable deployment across a variety of clinical environments.
- Integrated charging dock with visual status indicators designed to simplify charging and readiness monitoring.
“Sonosite iLOOK is designed to complement existing point-of-care ultrasound resources by providing a dedicated solution for vascular access. This allows healthcare organizations to reserve other ultrasound systems for broader imaging applications while ensuring vascular access teams have consistent access to imaging tailored to their daily workflows,” the press release states.
As part of the broader Sonosite ecosystem, customers also gain access to educational resources through Sonosite Institute, including training materials focused on ultrasound-guided vascular access techniques and procedures to help clinicians build confidence and competency, it adds.
