How Vscan Air can impact your practice

It should be used as early as possible to detect severe pathology. We want to find patients with relevant pathology, young or elderly, where we can make a difference and have an impact with early diagnosing and then with early treatment.

It's an amazing machine because it's wireless, and it's not heavy. The quality of the image is really amazing... I cannot imagine the future without this handheld ultrasound.

I think the patients really like it when I come to their homes and I have an ultrasound device. They're very happy that they don't have to come to me and my practice or have to go to hospital for the diagnosis.

The Vscan Air image quality was very nice. It was interesting for me too, because I had the pictures from the radiologists so I can try to compare it. I was very comfortable comparing the images with this device. It was very, very nice.

At the point of care, we need to have simple answers for simple questions. This might be a yes/no response. Is there ascites? Is there pleural effusion? Is the bile duct dilated? Yes or no? Or, a measurement of a certain structure. After answering these questions, treatment can be initiated.

FAQs

Vscan Air in general practice and primary care

What clinical questions can a general practitioner clarify independently in practice with Vscan Air?

With Vscan Air, general practitioners can independently clarify numerous questions in the practice: pleural effusions, free abdominal fluid, bladder volume and residual urine, gallbladder, aorta as well as orienting heart and lung findings. The wireless two-probe device provides clear images directly on the patient and supports quick decisions without the need for a stationary ultrasound system.

Which ultrasound applications are most common in general practice?

In general medicine, lung ultrasound, abdominal sonography, bladder and residual urine measurement, vascular imaging and orienting heart assessment are among the most common POCUS applications. Vscan Air covers these with its dual-probe design: the curved array probe takes on deep abdominal scans, while the linear probe handles near-surface structures, vessels and lungs – all with a single wireless device.

What diagnoses can a family doctor make himself with a mobile ultrasound device?

A family doctor can use a mobile ultrasound device such as Vscan Air to make orienting diagnoses: pleural effusion, ascites, urinary retention, increased bladder volume, gallstones, abdominal aortic aneurysm and impaired heart function. POCUS complements the clinical examination on the patient and accelerates decisions. Depending on the findings, final diagnoses require further imaging or specialist clarification.

What are the benefits of Vscan Air specifically for home visits?

When it comes to home visits, Vscan Air scores with its complete wireless freedom and pocket-sized size: The device, which weighs around 205 grams and has two integrated probes, connects to your own smartphone or tablet and immediately delivers clear images. It's military-grade drop-tested, IP67-waterproof, and sanitizable, making it ideal for on-the-go diagnostics at the patient's home.

Which model is suitable for GP practice – Vscan Air CL or SL?

The Vscan Air CL is usually suitable for family practice, as its curved and linear probe covers the abdomen, lungs, bladder, vessels and MSK – the typical range of general medicine. The Vscan Air SL is designed for cardiology and vascular. Those who work predominantly in cardiology benefit from SL; otherwise the CL is more versatile.

How does Vscan Air integrate with existing practice software and HIS systems?

Vscan Air transmits images via the app via DICOM to PACS systems, including querying the modality worklist and storage commitment. In addition, a JPG/MPG export to network folders is possible, which supports import into practice and EMR systems. This allows investigations to be documented and integrated into existing workflows without the need for a cloud.
