• Philips showcases expanded ultrasound portfolio with the recent introduction of the New Compact Ultrasound System 5000 Series designed to deliver premium image quality needed to aid confident diagnosis in a portable unit.
• This new innovation completes the Philips’ comprehensive portfolio of diagnostic ultrasound systems for every level of care and clinical setting, ranging from its ultra-mobile Lumify Handheld Ultrasound to its high-end and premium ultrasound Affiniti and EPIQ Elite systems.
• The portfolio’s integration with Philips Collaboration Live adds advanced telemedicine capabilities for remote clinical support and training.
Muscat, Oman – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) a global leader in health technology, spotlights its fit-for-purpose end-to-end ultrasound solutions at the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB 2023) Ultrasound World Congress at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre, Muscat, Oman from November 4 – 7 2023. Centre-stage at the congress is the new portable, Compact Ultrasound 5000 Series – designed to bring the diagnostic quality associated with premium cart-based ultrasound systems to more patients.
Premium quality ultrasound imaging has previously been confined to larger cart-based systems, which while technically portable, are typically located within a specific department. This often means that patients need to be moved from a hospital ward to the appropriate department for their ultrasound exams, which can negatively impact the patient experience and create logistical problems that limit patient throughput.
The portability of the new Ultrasound Compact 5000 Series brings quality ultrasound to the patient wherever they are in the hospital, with advanced features not typically found on a portable system, including AI-powered automation tools.
To enhance its portable design, the Compact system can be configured with an optional battery allowing for 2.5 hours of scanning time and 20% faster power-up capability [1] to quickly ready the system at the patient’s side when every second counts.
Philips Ultrasound Compact System 5000 Series complements Philips’ comprehensive portfolio of diagnostic ultrasound systems for every level of care and clinical setting, ranging from its ultra-mobile Lumify Handheld Ultrasound, to its high-end and premium ultrasound Affiniti and EPIQ Elite systems.
Improving patient outcomes and the patient experience means providing clinicians with our best diagnostic tools available and making advanced technology available wherever the patient is located.”

The Compact Ultrasound is designed to seamlessly integrate into care facilities existing ultrasound portfolio to support an easy learning curve for users by replicating the intuitive user interface and workflow of Philips’ cart-based systems Affiniti and EPIQ Elite, while offering full compatibility with these systems’ transducers.
The full portfolio, from the Compact Ultrasound to the EPIQ Elite also all feature Philips Collaboration Live secure real-time telemedicine software, with the ability to call on additional clinical expertise via secure voice, text, screen sharing, and video streaming from anywhere with a mobile or internet connection. Collaboration Live even allows a remote user to control the unit’s settings to acquire diagnostic quality images, reducing the need for follow-up scans and patients having to travel to a central hospital facility [2].
The Compact Ultrasound System 5000 Series is designed to perform as a highly versatile portable ultrasound system to be used in multiple care settings for many different types of exams without compromising image quality, diagnostic ability, or clinical workflow - including cardiovascular, obstetrics and gynaecology, point of care, and general imaging.
The portfolio is designed to help create healing environments by providing healthcare workers and clinicians with the right tools to make real-time decisions with more confidence – whether in a remote location, far from traditional care settings, or on-the-go across healthcare departments, for enhanced patient and staff experience.”
