Amsterdam-based Philips made the system available in both the U.S. and Europe following FDA 510(k) clearance and CE mark approval. The company says Alturion helps clinicians work more efficiently, deliver consistent results and make confident clinical decisions.
Alturion expands the medtech giant’s wide-ranging ultrasound portfolio by bringing together advanced imaging, AI-powered workflows and a connected ecosystem that can help streamline examinations and support consistency across users and clinical settings.
Philips said the system’s features include powerful processing architecture that supports responsive performance and clear visualization across patients and exam types. It has an expansive 24-inch monitor and a small footprint for easy movement and space utilization. Streamlined, intuitive workflows help reduce manual adjustments and exam time to manage patient volumes.
Alturion also features Philips’ Elevate Plus FDA-cleared AI-powered ultrasound workflow platform. The company said it fits within the company’s connected ultrasound ecosystem. It shares a common user interface and interchangeable transducers compatible with the flagship EPIQ Elite and Affiniti ultrasound systems.
“At Philips, our goal is to develop technology that adapts to the realities of modern healthcare and helps care teams work more effectively in increasingly demanding clinical environments,” said Jie Xue, chief business leader, Precision Diagnosis at Philips. “Alturion was designed with that goal in mind, helping healthcare providers deliver high-quality care with greater efficiency and confidence.”
