Canon Medical systems recently installed a Xario 100 ultrasound system in the Renal Unit at Royal Preston Hospital. The new machine replaced an existing Canon scanner.
Dr. Aimun Ahmed, Renal Physician says, “We selected the Xario 100 for its lightweight and small footprint. The ergonomics of the system are excellent and we find it very easy to manoeuvre. We use it for renal biopsies and venous access and have found it is faster than our old scanner, helping us improve our throughput.”

The Xario 100 is small, smart and simple to use, with outstanding image quality and superior workflow in an easy-to-handle, compact scanner. Offering better ergonomics for the workplace it features a small body that is extremely lightweight for rapid and easy transportability in every clinical environment. It comes with a height adjustable console over a large range and ergonomically shaped transducers with flexible cables and a very slim connector. They are locked to the main system through large levers for secure connection and the active port indicator further enhances workflow.
The large 19 inch high-resolution monitor has a fully articulating monitor arm, and ergonomic handgrip. Xario’s monitor facilitates full screen mode for increased visibility of the smallest detail. In addition, it is equipped with aids such as smart transducer cable management, a standby function to allow quick shutdown and startup in mobile situations, and during probe changes, an illuminated transducer bay area.
Royal Preston Hospital is part of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Canon Medical Systems has a carbon-zero project in place. We have calculated the carbon footprint for each of our products to include manufacturing, shipping, delivery and average hospital energy used for the standard lifetime of the equipment as follows: Ultrasound equates to 1 stove and 3,415 litres of water
