Philips Launches New Point-of-Care Ultrasound System for Critical Care

Philips is rolling out what it describes as a next-generation point-of-care ultrasound system designed specifically for critical care environments such as emergency rooms, intensive care units, and trauma wards. The cart-based Flash 5100 POC system includes artificial intelligence-powered automation software as well as a large touch screen, which the company said can enable rapid, on-demand scanning in high-pressure situations.
