Fujifilm Sonosite’s, mission has always been grounded in delivering reliable, clinician-driven ultrasound solutions that can withstand the real demands of point-of-care. As we embrace the next frontier, artificial intelligence in POCUS, we are actively seeking clinical collaborators to join us in shaping the future of patient care.
FUJIFILM Sonosite's X-Porte was recently featured in a study on how POCUS may help with hemodynamic optimization and customization of management plans to the patient’s tenuous physiology to prevent cardiopulmonary collapse.
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become an essential tool in modern medicine, but how much does owning one really cost?
Did You Know that FUJIFILM Sonosite has a new partner to provide vascular access education to our customers? With education being one of our core pillars, we strive to ensure that your department and clinicians are adequately equipped with the knowledge and training to administer care to patients using point-of-care ultrasound.
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) empowers clinicians with real-time diagnostic capabilities and procedural practices at the patient's bedside, which can improve the speed and accuracy of patient care. Hands-on POCUS training for clinicians at educational workshops is imperative in maximizing the benefits of using ultrasound systems effectively.
In Point-of-Care-Ultrasound, the durability of equipment is paramount. Without quality systems that are ready to use, the immediacy of patient care can be negatively impacted. To ensure reliability and up-time, Sonosite transducers are tested to the limit. This process consists of extensive testing protocols that go beyond industry norms.
In today's healthcare landscape, institutions face a daunting challenge: maintaining high-quality patient care, often with limited staffing.
Since the formation of the Friends of Fiji Heart Foundation (FOFHF) in 2006, the Foundation has sent a mission to Fiji for each successive year to provide FREE cardiac surgery to the underprivileged people of Fiji. Over the years the Foundation’s focus has expanded to include open heart surgery, pacemaker checks and implants, angiography, stenting, etc. Since 2006, treatments worth over NZ$10m have been performed with ZERO administrative costs.

Life is finite, which makes time our most precious commodity.
The COVID pandemic has taken this concept and dropped it right in the lap of millions of working people in this country. “Why am I spending the majority of my waking hours doing this work, and is that how I want to spend the time I have left on this planet?” Welcome to the Great Resignation.
The last few years have challenged us all. They’ve made us think deeply about what matters in our lives. Many have been faced with choices they never dreamed they’d have to make, especially in the early days of the pandemic. Do I work and risk illness or possibly death, or expose my loved ones to the same? Do I stop working and possibly lose my home?
Emergency doctor Dr. Didier Moens is in charge of rescue missions in the Centre Médical Héliporté (CMH) of Bra sur Lienne, near Liège in Belgium. He believes access to point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) on emergency helicopters is now essential for improving the care of critically ill patients:
Anniversaries are times to celebrate, but also times to reflect. At FUJIFILM Sonosite, we’re thrilled to recognize the one-year anniversary of the launch of Sonosite PX, our next generation point-of-care ultrasound system (POCUS) with the most advanced image clarity ever seen in a Sonosite system.
When making a high investment in medical equipment it is important not only to compare the price and quality of each product, in these cases it begins to be necessary to analyze the total cost of ownership (TCO) during the useful life of the equipment, since it could happen that the indirect costs exceed the sale price, plus all the additional problems that can even lead to damage to the reputation of the hospital.
