Philips Launches Alturion, an AI-Enhanced Ultrasound System with FDA and CE Approval
Royal Philips has announced the launch of Alturion, an ultrasound system equipped with AI-powered workflows designed for high-throughput clinical environments. The system has received FDA 510(k) clearance and CE certification, expanding access to advanced imaging and operational innovation.
A System Designed for High-Volume Clinical Settings
Alturion features a high-performance processing architecture that ensures responsiveness and clarity of visualization suited for various patient types and examinations. The system includes a 24-inch screen and a compact footprint, allowing for easy movement between departments and bedside. Streamlined workflows minimize manual adjustments and examination time, aiding in the management of high patient volumes. The familiar user interface supports operational simplification and consistency across clinical teams. Alturion integrates Elevate Plus with AI-assisted measurements for abdominal ultrasound, automating measurements and supporting exam reproducibility. These capabilities help reduce variability and time, contributing to more consistent examinations and supporting clinical decision-making.
Integration into Philips' Ultrasound Ecosystem
Alturion is part of Philips' connected ultrasound ecosystem, sharing a common user interface and interchangeable transducers compatible with the EPIQ Elite and Affiniti systems. This compatibility allows sonographers and clinicians to use the same transducers across multiple systems, simplifying training and speeding up the integration of new users. Philips' general imaging ultrasound portfolio is designed for scalability and is compatible with Collaboration Live, a tele-ultrasound capability that allows multiple users to connect in real time for remote assistance, training, and consultation.
