Pocket Ultrasound System Awarded MDEA Gold

By MedImaging staff writers
Posted on 22 Jul 2008
Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany) was honored earlier in June 2008, with a gold-level Medical Design Excellence Award (MDEA) for the Acuson P10 ultrasound system during a special ceremony at the Medical Device & Design East Exposition and Conference in New York, NY, USA. More...
The system, which is the world's first pocket ultrasound, won in the category of Radiological and Electromechanical Devices.

The Acuson P10 ultrasound system is a little larger than a typical personal digital assistant (PDA), weighs only 726 grams, and fits easily into a physician's lab coat pocket. The device delivers valuable visual information at the first patient contact, which is intended for complementary initial diagnostic care and triage, especially in emergency care, cardiology, and obstetrics.

Judging of the entries was conducted by an impartial panel of jurors who carefully review each product submission. Criteria for judging included user-related design and engineering features that provide enhanced benefits to the patient as well as improve the overall delivery of healthcare.

The MDEA competition is a leading awards program for the medical technology community, recognizing the achievements of medical product manufacturers and the individuals who are responsible for the groundbreaking developments that are changing the face of healthcare.

Siemens Healthcare is one of the world's largest suppliers to the healthcare industry. The company is a medical solutions provider with core competence and innovative strength in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies as well as in knowledge engineering, including information technology and system integration.

The Medical Design Excellence Award is presented by Canon Communications, LLC (Los Angeles, CA, USA).
