GE HealthCare announced the launch of enhanced Venue ultrasound systems and a new solution, setting the pace of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS): Venue Sprint. The Venue Sprint is a new ultrasound device designed for maximum portability that combines the powerful, familiar Venue software and AI-enabled tools, uncompromised image quality, and wireless probe capability with Vscan Air handheld ultrasound systems.

Other Venue family ultrasound systems will also now offer wireless probe connectivity, supplementary advanced clinical tools and the latest ViewPoint 6 updates for increased efficiency and optimized workflow.

Venue Sprint is a portable system in a tablet form with wireless Vscan Air dual-probes enabling clinicians to provide care across a wide range of environments, including critical care, emergency medicine, medical transport, and more. This new ultrasound system brings excellent image quality and a common platform with other Venue systems to simplify the learning process and ensure a consistent experience. Venue Sprint includes AI-enabled resources and documentation tools designed to simplify manual processes and drive consistency - tools that can be found across the full Venue family.

Other Venue family ultrasound systems will also gain optional integration of wireless Vscan Air dual-probes, and all Venue family ultrasound systems have access to Caption Guidance, which provides turn-by-turn, on-screen guidance to help capture diagnostic-quality cardiac ultrasound images. In addition, Venue ultrasound systems feature optional clinical tools to assist users of varying experience levels to conduct patient exams, including bladder volume tool, auto volume flow, etc.

“Venue Sprint brings exceptional value to the emergency department, maintaining the proven quality of other Venue ultrasound systems while improving the user experience with wireless transducers,” said Andrés Carlos von Wernitz Teleki, MD, emergency medicine physician, Hospital Universitario de La Princesa, Madrid, Spain. “This versatile ultrasound system can be used for high-quality assessments in critical, time-sensitive scenarios where quick access to information is decisive for patient outcomes.”

GE HealthCare will showcase the robust Venue family ultrasound systems at the ACEP Scientific Assembly taking place on September 29 - October 2, 2024 in Las Vegas. The Venue family, including the Venue Sprint, are available in the U.S. and will launch in key countries around the globe this year. Caption Guidance on the Venue family is currently only available in the U.S.
