Mobisante Launches Tablet Ultrasound System

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Mobisante is pleased to announce the release of the MobiUS™TC1 tablet ultrasound system. Building upon the success and innovative features of the MobiUS SP1 smartphone ultrasound system, this system brings high-resolution point-of-care ultrasound imaging within reach of health care professionals everywhere, helping healthcare professionals practice better medicine and reduce costs. The system supports a quick look, triage, routine screening, and ultrasound-guided procedures to name a few. The MobiUS TC1 ultrasound system is an ideal choice for emergency departments, clinics, rural and community hospitals, disaster relief organizations, and the uniformed services.

Leveraging the power and ubiquity of cutting edge mobile computing technology, the MobiUS systems are available at a fraction of the cost of typical ultrasound systems. They utilize standards-based technology for easy implementation and shorter learning curves. The MobiUS TC1 is highly mobile and compact to fit into a broad range of uses and locations, and provides instant connectivity through Wi-Fi.

Quote from Sailesh Chutani, CEO and Co-Founder, “Devices like MobiUS TC1 enable more care to be provided outside of expensive settings like hospitals into settings that are less expensive, such as clinics and other locations where the patient needs immediate care. This is key to improving access while reducing costs.”

The system enables diagnosis and treatment in trauma (FAST exam, lung, cardiac screening), abdominal pain, AAA and other routine screening such as bladder assessment, OB/GYN assessments, triage, ultrasound-guided procedures and much more. The tablet also supports endocavity probes for gynecology or prostate imaging, in addition to the already wide array of probes that cover multiple clinical applications.
