FEATURES

Made for your point of care

Supporting emergency care practitioners through a variety of features, Venue transforms emergency departments with automated tools that help you to quickly triage patients and determine a care pathway.

SHOCK TOOLKIT

Automated shock assessment

Medical shock in its many forms is a leading cause of death around the world.¹ While ultrasound can help identify the cause of shock, it can require many manual steps and the guidelines can be complex. The Shock Toolkit quickly gets you the information you need to make fast decisions when triaging patients in shock. With tools such as Auto B-Lines, Auto VTI and Auto IVC, it simplifies a complicated process by utilizing automated calculations that focus on key indicators of patient status; the heart, lungs and inferior vena cava.

REAL-TIME EF

For accurate, instant, and rapidly updating results

Capture precise results instantly without requiring ECGs—thanks to Real-Time EF, an AI tool that continuously calculates real-time ejection fraction during live scanning in apical 4CH view. And for improved accuracy, its integrated quality indicator helps users select an optimal view for generating exacting results. Reducing the time it takes to reach a result while helping provide consistency, a study found that Real-Time EF results are within ±10 percent points of experts in 86% of cases.²

EFAST TOOL

A structured approach to trauma assessments

The eFAST tool helps you to quickly assess patient status, from internal bleeding to pneumothorax, and helps drive consistency from user to user by providing a way to reference multiple exams over time.

• Scan different zones sequentially, in a predetermined order, or in any order you desire.

• Document findings with single keystrokes and touch screen controls.

• Store images to a specific body zone by using a visual anatomical diagram, with next step recommendations provided.

• Label each zone with the relevant finding while scanning.

• View a summary review screen during or after the exam, showing the stored images superimposed over the anatomical diagram.

AUTO B-LINES

Highlight and count B-lines, in real time

With the Auto B-Lines tool, you can calculate overall lung score in one step. Use it in conjunction with Lung Sweep to highlight B-lines and display the frame with the most B-lines per rib space.

Nerveblox™

Perform ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks with Nerveblox

Standard for Venue and Venue Go this AI-enabled tool automatically labels key anatomical landmarks in the ultrasound image, helping clinicians feel confident during the procedure and streamlining the workflow with the goal of reducing procedure time.

VIEWPOINT™ 6

Accelerating and automating ultrasound workflow at point of care

ViewPoint 6 is the simple, efficient, and automated way to create and share professional ultrasound reports. With all vital exam information structured and accessible on one screen, ViewPoint 6 and its automated ultrasound reporting minimizes your time on documentation while maximizing accuracy and consistency of reports. Helping take your focus off time-consuming administrative tasks, ViewPoint 6 keeps your attention where it needs to be—on patient care and outcomes.

Ready for sudden changes in patient health

From its straightforward design to its AI-enabled Auto Tools, the Venue family of point of care ultrasound systems empower physicians to make fast assessments in tough situations.

AI-enabled Auto Bladder Volume

Auto Bladder Volume provides rapid and easy urinary bladder volume measurements, saving clinicians valuable time and enhancing clinical accuracy. It measures bladder dimensions and calculates the bladder volume from two views: transverse and longitudinal.

Automatically recall parameter settings with Follow Up

Delivering consistent and clear conclusions for repeated exams on the same patient, Follow Up automatically recalls parameter settings from a previous exam including comments and body patterns. It also supports monitoring of patient response to treatment over time, allowing a side-by-side view of historical and new images.

Remove the clutter with Simple Screen

Simple Screen mode allows you to view only the icons you want and increase the ultrasound image by 39% on Venue and 18% on Venue Go and Venue Fit.³

Built-in teaching assistance with Scribble

Scribble assists training with a touch-operated pointer and free-drawing capabilities that can also be visible on an external monitor or shared screen.

Quickly assess kidneys and the bladder with Renal Diagram

Simplify documentation and provide easy follow up for patients with suspected hydronephrosis. No need to type findings; simply assign a label from a pre-populated list that correlates with images.

Review lung segment images in one view with Lung Diagram

A single view diagram of anatomical lung segments with one click image storing. Keeps track of segmental lung assessment and can be helpful in showing trends in response to therapy.

Ready, Scan, Go

Look closer and discover 79% time savings with Ready, Scan, Go workflow⁴

Put patients over process with features like Imprivata™ badge scanning, patient wristband barcode scanning, and reporting integration with ViewPoint™ 6. Ready, Scan, Go offers faster care, stronger security and compliance, and efficient reimbursement.
