The device's high image quality ensures diagnostic precision by combining SignalMax™ high-intensity signal processing with industry-leading single crystal transducer technology: This results in exceptional penetration, resolution, and sensitivity without compromising image quality. The pocket-sized scanner ensures high-quality ultrasound is always at hand.

Vscan Air is equipped with technical features and tools that efficiently support daily practice routines: M-Mode, Color Doppler, Pulsed Wave Doppler, Annotations, durable quality, one swipe/tap controls, etc.

Vscan Air CL and Vscan Air SL two dual-probes for various clinical specialties

The Vscan Air family sets a new standard in handheld ultrasound – providing crystal-clear images in a small, lightweight, and wireless solution. You can complete both shallow and deep ultrasound scans with one probe without compromising image quality.

With a curved array and a linear array transducer in one single device, Vscan Air CL is ideal for rapid whole-body assessments including abdominal imaging, obstetric assessments, vascular, musculoskeletal (MSK), lungs, and more.

With its sector and linear transducers, Vscan Air SL is optimized for quick cardiac and cardiovascular exams. The sector-phased array transducer is ideal for focused cardiac assessments. The linear array transducer enables moving from cardiac to vascular assessments without changing devices. The Al-based upgrade, Caption AI™¹, provides real-time guidance that shows, step-by-step, how to maneuver the probe to capture diagnostic-quality standard echocardiographic views on the tablet.

A reliable companion – always at hand

Vscan Air facilitates quick checks and simple procedures, thereby strengthening diagnostic confidence across different areas of patient care. From diagnosing organ abnormalities to assessing blood flow and aiding in needle-guided procedures the device enables precise and effective patient care. It also provides real-time visualisation of soft tissue structures, particularly beneficial in orthopedic diagnostics.

Diagnostics at your fingertips
