Siemens Healthineers Launches ACUSON Juniper Next-Generation Ultrasound System
- System consistently delivers high-quality performance with optimized accessibility, expanded
applications, and enhanced ease of use
- Small footprint enables easy transfer and use across all clinical departments1
Siemens Healthineers has launched the ACUSON Juniper, a new ultrasound system with advanced applications and imaging performance
while featuring a lightweight, ergonomic design and complete maneuverability for use across a wide variety of clinical segments.
Though small in size, the ACUSON Juniper does not compromise in performance, offering providers a system that is not only powerful,
but nimble in design.
Siemens Healthineers incorporated feedback from the 365 participants in its largest-ever ultrasound co-creation project to
ensure that the ACUSON Juniper meets the needs of today’s changing healthcare landscape. The system’s versatility and adaptability
makes it ideal for diverse patient anatomies and physiologies. Users can customize the ACUSON Juniper based on patient interactions
for improved clinical workflow.
“We’ve created a system that enables customers to transform care delivery and improve the patient experience by adapting to the
needs of the ultrasound user,” says Peter Pellerito, Head of Siemens Healthineers Ultrasound North America. “The ACUSON Juniper’s
nimble, versatile design affords healthcare providers the flexibility to utilize the system throughout all clinical departments
while maintaining high-quality imaging capabilities.”
Where Form Meets Function
The smallest, most lightweight system in its class, the ACUSON Juniper adapts to virtually any exam environment and maneuvers
easily with no tradeoffs in performance. Sleep and boot-up times of mere seconds allow clinical users to transfer the system within
a hospital without sacrificing time with patients. Designed to address the needs of differing clinical departments, the system has
flexible, intuitive, and customizable tilt settings. Five active transducer ports allow for the system’s quick and easy readiness
after transfer from department to department.
The ACUSON Juniper’s LED monitor and touch panel are the largest in its segment.1 The system’s two standard USB ports
enable quick transfer of images to patients, eliminating the need for print-out documentation. Further improving the patient
experience, the ACUSON Juniper is 40 percent quieter than other ultrasound systems in its class. Additionally, a protective sheet
is available for the system’s key pad, to facilitate the reading and use of the controls while in a sterile environment such as the
operating room. This protective skin can be disinfected for reuse.
Small on the Outside, Big on the Inside
With an imaging performance that belies its small size, the ACUSON Juniper is powered by a completely new imaging platform that
was designed from the ground up with user needs in mind. Its new front-end engine offers exceptional system sensitivity and
specificity as well as high dynamic range for improved tissue differentiation. A new signal processor reduces probe and patient
motion artifacts, and enables fast image acquisition. A new back-end engine allows advanced elastography imaging and has a new
measurement package. For use across departments, the Acuson Juniper is equipped with 16 transducers and is customizable with
advanced imaging applications for use in radiology and interventional radiology, urology, cardiovascular, orthopedic, and
obstetrics/gynecological imaging.
