Toshiba Medical Introduces New Entry-Level Addition to Premium Aplio i-series Ultrasound Platform

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Demonstrating continued leadership in radiology with development of new technologies for today’s busy imaging departments, Toshiba Medical, a Canon Group company, showcases the Aplio^TM i600 (pending 510(k) clearance), the newest addition to the premium Aplio i-series ultrasound platform. The Aplio i600 is the entry-level system in the Aplio i-series family and offers enhanced workflow and performance features that help improve diagnostic confidence and enable physicians to deliver safe and fast exams for patients.

The Aplio i600 provides intuitive ergonomics to help boost productivity during daily routine and complex exams with iSense, while iPerformance delivers advanced imaging capabilities and applications that helps health care providers to give more confident diagnoses. The system offers an image-guided user interface, which visually guides the clinician through the exam to simplify system operation and help improve efficiency. Additionally, the Aplio i600 uses the same transducers from the current Aplio Platinum Series, making migration to this new system even easier.

“We designed the Aplio i600 as a fundamental building block of the Aplio i-series platform,” said Dan Skyba, director, Ultrasound Business Unit, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. “The Aplio i600 offers tools that help clinicians improve productivity and can deliver optimal images and definition for quick and confident diagnoses, while maintaining a cost-effective solution for today’s health care environment.”

Toshiba Medical is showcasing the new Aplio i600 at this year’s Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago, November 26 – December 1, 2017 (Booth #7335, North Hall B).
