The Philips Ultrasound Compact System 5500CV is designed to meet the needs of different clinical specialties including cardiology and vascular. User-interface and workflow compatibility with the Philips cart-based ultrasound systems EPIQ CVx and Affiniti CVx, which are already widely used in cardiology departments worldwide, allows seamless transitioning from one system to another. Philips Ultrasound Compact System 5500CV is also compatible with ultrasound system transducers for EPIQ CVx and Affiniti CVx. In addition, it features an optional battery add-on that allows up to 2.5 hours of scanning time, artificial intelligence (AI) based automation tools, and support for the company’s real-time telemedicine software, Philips Ultrasound Collaboration Live. Cardiologists can use Collaboration Live to consult remotely with colleagues in cardiology departments at satellite hospitals enhancing quality access to cardiology care regardless of location, bringing advanced echocardiography everywhere.

At ASE, Philips will also demonstrate advanced features of the Compact Ultrasound System 5500CV including AutoStrain to deliver fast, reproducible 2D strain quantification for the left ventricle (LV). The AutoStrain LV application uses advanced Automatic View Recognition technology to identify the different views of the heart, providing exceptional visualization and analysis of left ventricle function to deliver important diagnostic information quickly and efficiently for patients at risk of developing cardiovascular disease.


With the Compact Ultrasound System 5500CV, Philips continues its commitment to deliver a cardiology portfolio to address the ever-increasing demand for cost-effective diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and management of patients with heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, structural heart disease, arrhythmia, and heart failure. In addition to it’s 510(k) clearance from the FDA, the Compact Ultrasound 5000 Series system has recently received CE mark in Europe.

On Sunday, June 25, Philips will sponsor a satellite symposium at ASE featuring leading cardiology experts participating in a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Rebecca T. Hahn, MD, FACC, FESC, FASE, Director of Interventional Echocardiography at New York Presbyterian / Columbia University Irving Medical Center. The expert panel will share valuable perceptions into the present and future of echocardiography, including insights from Dr. David Liang who will discuss his work with Philips Ultrasound Compact 5500CV. ASE attendees can join the satellite symposium in the Science and Technology Theater #1, and learn more about Compact 5500CV in the Philips Booth (#103) at ASE.
