Musgrove Park Hospital Taunton recently purchased a Canon Xario 200 ultrasound scanner for use in the hospital’s early pregnancy assessment clinic.
Debra Hamilton-Rose, EPAC Specialist Nurse, commenting on the new equipment, says “The process of moving over to our new Canon Xario 200 was very smooth. It is a smaller and more compact machine compared to what we had been used to, and the heat and noise output is noticeably reduced. The staff from Canon made the switch over seamless and also provided training and ongoing support with any issues we encountered.”
Smaller, smarter and simpler, the Xario 200 comes with excellent image quality and superior workflow in an easy-to-handle, compact scanner. Its lightweight transducers cover a large variety of clinical applications and provide superb image quality. With a fully customisable console, it offers a large colour Touch Command Screen to programme the system settings and access, so that very intuitively and quickly, a wide range of applications and exam types can be programmed into the system. In addition, flexible, individually customisable panel keys and smart panel layout contribute towards a significant reduction in keystrokes and shortened exam time. Canon’s QuickStart is available with its preset orientation which enables swift execution of every exam, with easy access to measurements and annotations, increasing productivity even further. QuickScan one-button image optimisation automatically adjusts parameters of B-mode and Doppler mode.
Offering better ergonomics for the workplace, the Xario 200 features a very attractive and compact system designed with a small body that is extremely lightweight, for rapid and easy transportability in every clinical environment. It sets new standards of ergonomics with a height adjustable console over a large range, plus a panel swivel for even more flexibility. Xario’s transducers are also ergonomically shaped 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.
