Philips ClearVue 850 – Ultrasound System

Philips ClearVue 850 ultrasound system with XRES, SonoCT, harmonic imaging, 3D/4D, elastography and FloVue. Designed for advanced abdominal, vascular, cardiac and OB/GYN imaging.

Overview

The Philips ClearVue 850 is one of four systems in the ClearVue ultrasound family, alongside the 350, 550, and 650. Philips positions the 850 around advanced capability, quantification, and ergonomics. In the brochure's feature comparison, it has more of the listed features than the other three models. The whole family is reported to be in more than 5,000 systems across over 70 countries, and Philips says it touches 25 million lives every year. Those figures cover the family, not the 850 alone.

Clinical applications

ClearVue systems are meant for several specialties. The brochure lists:

  • General imaging
  • Abdominal
  • Vascular
  • Musculoskeletal
  • Small parts
  • Ob/Gyn
  • Cardiac

The example images in the brochure cover liver and liver vasculature, breast (a complex cyst and an elastogram of an intraductal carcinoma), femoral vein and carotid artery studies with FloVue, thyroid, testicular flow, popliteal artery, common carotid artery and jugular vein flow, umbilical artery, and color M-mode. They are shown for the family, and the brochure does not say which images came from the 850.

Ergonomics and design

  • The console is designed so the user can adjust its height for comfort. Among the four models, only the 850 has this.
  • The monitor tilts and swivels and sits on an articulating arm, as on the 650 and 550.
  • The control panel is designed for intuitive use.
  • Every ClearVue system is described as light and compact, so it is easy to move, with a modular design meant to make servicing easier.

Imaging features

These features are included on the 850:

  • AutoSCAN: identifies the tissue type and continuously adjusts image gain.
  • 3D/4D: visualization and analysis of volume data. The 850 and 650 include it, while the 550 and 350 can be upgraded to 4D.
  • Pulse inversion harmonics: provide pure broadband harmonic signals.
  • SonoCT: improves visibility of curved structures and irregular borders.
  • XRES: reduces speckle noise artifacts, which improves margin definition and image quality.
  • Curved ROI for OB imaging.
  • One-button iSCAN: streamlines workflow.

Features only on the 850

According to the brochure's comparison table, the 850 is the only model with these:

  • Stress echo: for cardiac imaging.
  • Strain elastography: evaluates tissue stiffness.
  • FloVue: an imaging mode for direct visualization of blood flow in vasculature.
  • Intima media thickness (IMT) imaging: automates the measurement.
  • iSlice: a quick volumetric display.
  • Height-adjustable console: described under ergonomics above.

Advanced technologies

  • Active Array: the transducer technology used across the family, listed for image quality.
  • Broadband beamforming: differentiates tissue across multiple patient types.
  • Tissue harmonic imaging: reduces artifacts while preserving tissue definition and resolution.

Transducers and upgrades

The ClearVue family offers a range of Active Array transducers for different types of scanning. The system can be upgraded with additional clinical features and transducers, so it can be expanded as needs change. The brochure does not list specific transducer models or prices.

Service and support

  • Support hours: Philips offers support seven days a week if needed. This requires at least a RightFit contract, and conditions apply.
  • Remote Desktop: where available, it allows "virtual visits" for technical and clinical support and for training.
  • Remote Service Network: the system can connect to it. Users can send a support request directly from the system or generate a utilization report on key parameters.
  • On-cart maintenance: software tools to optimize, maintain, and repair system software while keeping custom annotations, calculations, presets, and patient data.
  • Services and education: can be adapted to a customer's needs. The brochure says offerings are available only in selected countries and for selected products.

Energy use

ClearVue systems have low power consumption, which Philips says helps reduce energy costs. Their low heat dissipation makes them suitable for small rooms.
