Analogic Corp. Announces Flex Focus 400 Ultrasound for Anesthesia

Analogic Corp., a provider of medical imaging and aviation security technology based in Peabody, Mass., has released the Flex Focus 400 Anesthesia ultrasound scanner, a dedicated ultrasound system for regional anesthesia designed and manufactured by Analogic's BK Medical subsidiary, according to an Analogic news release.

Flex Focus 400 Anesthesia has a 19-inch screen and uses BK Medical's proprietary IQPAC imaging technology for high-resolution image quality, which allow a clear view of anatomical structures — needed for precise landmark location and needle guidance in nerve block procedures — from virtually any bedside position and in the operating room, according to the release.

The system features scanner control through the transducer, enabling the anesthesiologist to switch between transducers, freeze and unfreeze images and store images and clips without being in close proximity to the scanner, according to the release. The Flex Focus 400 Anesthesia system is portable, lightweight and can be adjusted to fit into small spaces, with a sealed, smooth keyboard for easy cleaning and disinfection.
