Advanced Philips iE33 transducers: Matrix \u00a0 Pediatric<\/h2>\n

The Philips iE33 not only offers six PureWave single crystal transducers that includes four xMatrix probes. xMatrix not only improves image quality and penetration since xMatrix is developed based on PureWave technology, but also allows for real-time scanning of multiple planes and cardiac 4D without needing a typical mechanical 4D probe. This speeds the acquisition of 4D cardiac data over a 4D mechanical probe for mainly OB\/GYN. C-plane resolution is also improved over a typical 4D mechanical probe. The [ 1 \u2013 5 MHz ] X5-1<\/a> transducer for the iE33 represents the apex of xMatrix design. The [ 1 \u2013 3 MHz ] X3-1<\/a> and [ 2 \u2013 7 MHz ] X7-2<\/a> are early xMatrix probes, while the [ 2 \u2013 7 MHz ] X 7-2t<\/a> is a TEE probe with xMatrix technology and represents the pinnacle of transesephegeal technology. In addition, the iE33 supports the largest number of pediatric cardiac transducers including the [ 3 \u2013 8 MHz ] S8-3t<\/a> multiplane micro TEE and four other pediatric cardiac transducers. The ViewFlex Xtra catheter developed by St. Jude Medical is also compatible with the iE33 and is used for ICE where the catheter is inserted inside the heart through the left femoral vein.<\/p>\n

Popular Philips iE33 transducers<\/h2>\n

The most popular cardiac sector transducer for the Philips iE33 is the [ 1 \u2013 5 MHz ] S5-1<\/a>, a PureWave transducer offering better than normal image clarity even at deep penetration. The amazing X 7-2t<\/a> is the most popular transesphegeal probe for the iE33 with it\u2019s xMatrix 4D and multiplanar capabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How the Philips iE33 compares with other Philips systems<\/h2>\n

The Philips iE33 was launched in 2004 as the replacement to the Sonos 7500 and continued in production until 2015. The iE33 is a premium level ultrasound machine that was top of the line till the introduction of the Epiq line in 2013. The Epiq 7<\/a> replaced the iE33 and has a larger monitor and larger touchscreen. It also is smaller and lighter than the iE33. The HD15<\/a> sits below the iE33 in features, image quality and price and is a shared service ultrasound machine whereas the iE33 is focused only on cardiovascular applications.<\/p>\n

Philips iE33 vs iU22<\/h2>\n

When Philips launched the iE33 it launched the iU22<\/a> at the same time and ever since, many medical professionals have wondered what the difference is, and which is best for their needs. The iE33 is focused only on cardio vascular applications where the iU22 is shared service and can be used for women\u2019s health, general imaging as well as cardiac and vascular applications. Because of this the iU22 supports 4D transducers, and several endocaviary transducers, but no neonatal sector or pediatric TEE. The Philips iE33 and iU22 even look nearly identical; with the major distinguishing feature being dual touchscreens for navigation on the iE33 while the iU22 has only one touchscreen.<\/p>\n

Other brands competing with the Philips iE33<\/h2>\n

The Philips iE33 is the premium cardiovascular-focused ultrasound machine of the past decade. Its closest competitor from GE would be the Vivid E9<\/a> and both systems are very similar. The iE33 has two touchscreens and a larger monitor compared to the Vivid E9 and also supports ICE in the latest release where the Vivid E9 has no ICE probe or support. The closest competitor from Siemens is the SC2000<\/a> which offers similar image quality and features but is stronger in ICE while the iE33 has better xMtrix TEE imaging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Philips iE33 vs iU22 When Philips launched the iE33 it launched the iU22 at the same time and ever since, many medical professionals have wondered what the difference is, and which is best for their needs. The iE33 is focused only on cardio vascular applications where the iU22 is shared service and can be used for women\u2019s health, general imaging as well as cardiac and vascular applications. Because of this the iU22 supports 4D transducers, and several endocaviary transducers, but no neonatal sector or pediatric TEE. The Philips iE33 and iU22 even look nearly identical; with the major distinguishing feature being dual touchscreens for navigation on the iE33 while the iU22 has only one touchscreen. Other brands competing with the Philips iE33 The Philips iE33 is the premium cardiovascular-focused ultrasound machine of the past decade. Its closest competitor from GE would be the Vivid E9 and both systems are very similar. The iE33 has two touchscreens and a larger monitor compared to the Vivid E9 and also supports ICE in the latest release where the Vivid E9 has no ICE probe or support. The closest competitor from Siemens is the SC2000 which offers similar image quality and features but is stronger in ICE while the iE33 has better xMtrix TEE imaging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":957,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[82,38],"product_tag":[597,660,656,657,658,659,661],"class_list":["post-956","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-philips","product_cat-ultrasound-equipment","product_tag-3d-ultrasound","product_tag-cheap-philips-ie33","product_tag-philips-ie33","product_tag-philips-ie33-for-sale","product_tag-philips-ie33-ultrasound-machine-for-sale","product_tag-sell-philips-ie33-ultrasound-machine","product_tag-used-philips-ie33","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ptbataraindoperkasa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ptbataraindoperkasa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ptbataraindoperkasa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ptbataraindoperkasa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=956"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ptbataraindoperkasa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ptbataraindoperkasa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ptbataraindoperkasa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=956"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ptbataraindoperkasa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=956"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ptbataraindoperkasa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
