EPIQ CVx Flashcards
1
Q
Design - Logical and Intuitive
A
- Clinically focused engineering for a new level of versatility, comfort and convenience
- Lightest premium platform (230lbs) with the smallest foot print
- Library quiet - EPIQ is almost silent when running. A noise test determined that EPIQ runs at 37-41 dB, which is equivalent to the sound in a library. How will this help your patient experience?
- A new tablet like interface results in a dramatic reduction in reach and button pushes, with 40-80% less reaches ad 15% fewer steps.
- Transport Mode - 25sec boot up time; this allows faster access to imaging controls in both mobile ad STAT studies.
- Advanced Micro Connectors - Pin-less design for exceptional relatability and performance. 75% less bulk and over 50% less weight. Micro technology allows for next generation miniaturization of technology
- Ergonomics - 720 degrees of extended range for the control panel and monitor.
- Logical and intuitive design and layout - “walk up usability”
- Wireless connectivity - WPA & WPA2 levels of security, auto detection of network.
- serviceability - A new level of access - 60% fewer cables; 120 cable points to 40 points; fewer stress points.

Q
Intelligence - Anatomical Intelligence
A
- Transforming a passive device into an active device - turning images to answers with the use of a rich database of anatomical structures and utilizing adaptive system intelligence. Minimizing user interactions maximizes reproducibility - fast, easy and reproducible results.
- Automation - a2DQ - Auto EF - Speckle tracking assists with maintaining borders throughout cardiac cycle. 10 seconds to get EF
- Automation - aCMQ - GLS and Auto EF - Determined by 3 Apical views, Auto EF calculated simultaneously.
- Navigation - aMVN - 8 clicks for essential data; 89% fewer steps; guided ad easy to follow steps for leaflet trace.
- Modeling. The future of Ultrasound - detecting structures within 2D or 3D images: automated viewing, slicing and measuring; remove the complexity from advanced techniques.

Q
Performance - Breaking the Rules
A
- NSight imaging - a totally new way to form ultrasound images - all without compromise
- NSight imaging - a new precision beamformer and massive parallel process allows Philips to break the rules of conventional ultrasound.
- Breaking the rules: No trade off in frame rate verses image quality; new levels of tissue uniformity from apex to pulmonary veins; exceptional penetration at higher frequencies.
- Extraordinary penetration at higher frequencies for outstanding imaging even on patients with high body mass index where ultrasound has previously been inconclusive.
- Highly detailed ultrasound and extraordinary temporal resolution
- Exceptional penetration at higher frequencies for superb imaging on difficult patients; Up to 76% increase in penetration and up to 213% increase in temporal resolution (ability to maintain resolution at high frame rates)
- NSight imaging - a never before imaging architecture that provides highly detailed ultrasound images and extraordinary temporal resolution.
- X5-1 live 3D xMatrix TTE transducer. First fully functional 2D/Live 3D TTE probe for routine clinical use. Real time single beat live 3D full volume acquisition. Real time Live 3D color flow imaging, Live 3D Stress Echo, Real time 3D TTE imaging of valves, chambers and cardiac structures, iRotate electronic beam steering for use in traditional 2D examinations and fully integrated into Stress Echo protocols, Live X-Plane TTE imaging: the ability to image 2 user defied orthogonal planes simultaneously. 3D Quantification of LV volumes, Ejection Fraction, Stroke Volume and Dysychrony (LV Mechanics). Enhanced ergonomics and productivity.
- X7-2T xMatrix Live 3D TEE transducer: First Live 3D TEE transducer released on the market with over 3000 installed i the U.S. over 100 journal articles in JASE, JAC, ASE and other cardiology journals have been published discussing the clinical benefits of Philips Live 3D TEE in patient care and 6 books published.
