Siemens Healthineers introduces the ACUSON Maple¹, a powerful, versatile and affordable ultrasound system that enables rapid diagnosis and assessment in all clinical settings. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered features optimise everyday clinical performance for users of all skill levels.
Powered by ACUSON technology from the established portfolio from Siemens Healthineers, the ACUSON Maple is designed for the clinician who needs a workhorse ultrasound system that supports a diverse range of ultrasound use cases. Lightweight, portable and battery-powered, the ACUSON Maple is ideal for emerging markets, small hospitals, outpatient centres, private practices and urgent care centres.
“Siemens Healthineers proudly expands its ACUSON portfolio with the ACUSON Maple, which leverages a common hardware and software platform as well as AI-powered2 applications that automate workflow and analysis to bolster exam efficiency,” said Mike Arbaugh, Head of Ultrasound for Siemens Healthineers Great Britain and Ireland. “This affordable, configurable, and versatile system offers a broad range of diagnostic imaging capabilities, with a high level of image quality for every patient.”
Designed for versatility, the ACUSON Maple supports 15 transducers and has 25 advanced features that enhance usability and streamline workflow. An integrated battery enables up to 75 minutes of unplugged system scanning, a capability invaluable in clinical settings that require movement between exam rooms for rapid patient assessment.
The system’s suite of AI-powered2 tools empowers clinicians to improve efficiency by increasing consistency in repetitive tasks. For obstetrics and gynaecology (OB/GYN) imaging, the Auto OB feature leverages machine learning to automatically calculate the foetus’s age and weight, reducing overall measurement time by up to 24%3. For cardiac imaging, the eSie Measure feature uses machine learning to automatically perform cardiac measurements during a routine echocardiography exam. eSie Measure reduces keystrokes by up to 44% and shortens routine echo exam time by up to five minutes4.
The ultrasound system is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, CE marked in the European Union and is available globally.
