Siemens systems installed for functionality and ergonomic design

Royal Preston Hospital has installed two ACUSON S2000™ diagnostic ultrasound systems from Siemens Healthcare for obstetric ultrasound .  The new equipment delivers superb image quality allowing the ultrasound team to conduct more detailed patient scans for better interpretation and diagnosis.

The ACUSON S2000 is an easy-to-use solution, which produces high quality images, with the additional functionality of eSieScan™ workflow protocols, which save valuable time and keystrokes by automating routine tasks.  Royal Preston Hospital is using the system for nuchal translucency screening in the first trimester of pregnancy.  With its simple, lightweight design it aims to reduce the amount of repetitive strain injuries suffered by users as the ergonomic design features the most frequently used controls within easy manual reach.

“We wanted to choose the best equipment for our needs and following extensive research we decided to opt for the S2000 ultrasound system because of its proven imaging qualities and ergonomic design,” said Tracy Butcher, Consultant Sonographer at Royal Preston Hospital, part of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.  “Not only does the S2000 design meet the needs of a modern ultrasound department, but it also gives us the potential to develop our service offerings.  We have been impressed by the ongoing after sales support and training provided by Siemens to ensure we get the most out of the new system.”

“Lancashire Teaching Hospitals is committed to ensuring the best possible patient care and we are delighted that it has chosen the S2000 for its Ultrasound Department.  The solution will play a key role in the delivery of quality healthcare by obtaining detailed images from obstetric scans,” said Bernadette Leonard, Regional Sales Manager for Ultrasound Products at Siemens Healthcare .  “Our ongoing support and training programme is also designed to aid sonographers in gaining the most from the systems and enable them to provide the best possible care for pregnant women in the community.”
