GE Healthcare Vivid S6 Cardiovascular ultrasound system - Manual (Page 3)

Reach
The Vivid S6 and S5 can reach more patients’ needs with
a wide range of tools that deliver better image quality and
quicker exam times, for increased productivity in most echo
environments. The systems offer innovative shared-service
imaging features:
• IMT provides automated calculations of intima
media thickness.
• B-Flow* allows real-time visualization of vascular
hemodynamics by directly visualizing blood reflectors,
and presenting the information in a gray-scale display.
• BFI (Blood Flow Imaging)* displays color Doppler
with speckle reflectors for better flow visualization
of hemodynamic patterns.
• Full cardiac, vascular, and OB/GYN reporting allows
customization for all modalities.
Mobility
The ergonomic design of the Vivid S6 and S5 gives the user
optimal ergonomics for mobile studies.
• Physiological “Flex-Fit” mechanism (up and in, and down
and out) enables continuous pivoting height adjustment
of the control panel, while keeping optimal distance from
the user, and leaving just the right legroom for standing
or sitting positions.
• Horizontal keyboard swivel ensures optimal placement
and comfort during operation.
• “Flex” key, located next to the trackball, can be assigned
to assume the function of other, more distant keys
for minimal effort, increased speed, and ease of use.
“The Vivid S6 has all the vascular tools of a high-end
system in an ergonomic, mobile design.”
Dr. Yung-Wei Chi, D.O., Vascular Lab Director
Ochsner Clinic Foundation, New Orleans, LA
The distinctive industrial design offers several productivity
features:
• Monitor Auto Sensor* saves time by adapting the monitor
brightness, contrast, and gamma to the environment’s
lighting conditions.
• Uninterruptible Power Supply automatically saves data
and turns off the system in case of power failure
or accidental shutdown.
• 3 probe connectors offer three probe options at your
fingertips, with no port change for faster probe choice.
• 15'' (Vivid S5) 17'' (Vivid S6) high contrast wide-angle
display offers easy viewing at any angle.
Compatibility
The Vivid S6 and S5 are members of the Vivid family, therefore
they offer a wide range of advanced connectivity options
that can improve productivity. These include compatibility
with the EchoPAC
™ PC review station, the Image Vault, DICOM
servers and DICOM printers. Removable storage media
includes DVD/CD, USB flash cards and an MO disk.
In addition, the Vivid S6 and S5 offer the ability to import the
database from a Vivid 3 or 4 system. So the existing patient
examination data and images are maintained, and new
examinations can be added.
Vivid S6 and S5 probes are compatible with the Vivid i
and Vivid e systems. The TEE probes* are also compatible
with Vivid 3 and Vivid 7.
