FIRST TOSHIBA XARIO 200 ULTRASOUND SYSTEM RECENTLY INSTALLED IN SCOTLAND AT FORTH VALLEY ROYAL HOSPITAL

The Forth Valley Royal Hospital, part of NHS Forth Valley Healthboard, recently procured a Canon Xario 200 ultrasound machine for use within its gynaecology and outpatients clinics.    The new scanner, which is the first of its type in Scotland, replaced an existing system.

The Xario 200 is easy to use and comes with a small footprint. The Departmental Manager, Front Door Services of the Women, Children & Sexual Health Directorate, Judith Rooney comments, “The system was purchased to support gynaecology scanning within our outpatient clinics. We selected the Canon scanner for its excellent image quality and intuitive software. In fact, due to the flexibility of the system, we plan to utilise it as a contingency scanner when our obstetrics systems are ‘down’ for service and/or repair.” Judith adds, “In addition, Canon has been very attentive and flexible around applications training and ongoing support, fitting in around consultant clinics.”

Smaller, smarter and simpler, the Xario 200 provides outstanding image quality and superior workflow in an easy-to-handle, compact scanner. It comes with lightweight transducers that cover a large variety of clinical applications and offer superb image quality.

Offering excellent ergonomics, 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.
