A system designed for ease of use and comfort

In designing the Voluson^TM P8, we were committed to keeping clinicians who use it our priority.

We envisioned a system that would be enjoyable to use on a daily basis. The result: an ergonomic design that provides fast access to frequently used functions to provide exceptional user comfort and productivity.

Take a tour of the Voluson P8 ergonomics:

• 15-inch, flat-screen LCD monitor – moves independently of the console. 
• Simplified keyboard – enables exams to be completed with fewer keystrokes and rotates to adjust to the user. 
• Sleek, lightweight console – with a small physical footprint to help optimize use of small spaces. 
• Transducer holder – protects probes while positioning them for user convenience. 
• Wireless connectivity – enables efficient transmission of reports and images.
• Integrated peripherals – including a DVR module help expand functionality.

The Voluson Performance series also follows the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (SDMS) ergonomic guidelines.
