Choose ‘AutoAS’ or ‘Lung Guidance and HD SRI’ at no extra cost, when purchasing a Vscan Air™ SL with Caption AI™.

The Vscan Air SL is a handheld, wireless ultrasound probe designed for use at the point of care across a wide range of clinical settings. It supports clinicians working in cardiology, intensive care, respiratory medicine, acute medicine, emergency departments, general wards, elderly care wards and hospital-at-home services. The device is commonly specified by ward managers, clinical directors, team leaders, clinical engineering departments and procurement teams looking to improve access to diagnostic imaging and support faster clinical decision-making.

Performing a point-of-care cardiac ultrasound examination can be challenging, particularly for users who have limited experience in echocardiography. Caption AI has been developed to address this challenge directly. Using expert-trained artificial intelligence, the system provides step-by-step guidance to help users acquire key cardiac views, including parasternal, apical and subcostal acoustic windows. Real-time visual guidance supports correct probe positioning and adjustment, helping users achieve diagnostic-quality images with greater confidence.

As images are acquired, the system continuously assesses image quality and provides feedback to guide optimisation. This helps standardise examinations and supports consistent image acquisition across different users and care settings. The system also automatically calculates left ventricular ejection fraction, providing valuable information to support the assessment of cardiac function and aiding clinical evaluation at the point of care.

Having ultrasound available at the bedside can help reduce delays associated with referral and follow-up imaging, enabling clinicians to make informed decisions more quickly and supporting timely patient management. This can improve workflow efficiency while enhancing patient care.

Under this promotion, customers purchasing a Vscan Air SL with Caption AI can also choose either AutoAS or Lung Guidance at no additional cost. HD SRI speckle reduction imaging is also included, helping to improve image clarity and consistency. Together, these additional features enhance diagnostic capability, support standardised image acquisition and deliver even greater value from the investment.
