Philips Japan Unveils Compact 5000 Series 2.0

On May 28, 2025, Philips Japan is set to launch the Compact 5000 series 2.0, a groundbreaking portable ultrasound diagnostic device that enhances cardiology capabilities through advanced AI technology. This development aims to address the growing need for rapid and effective ultrasound examinations at the bedside, especially for vulnerable groups like newborns, children, and patients with mobility challenges.

The Compact 5000 series has undergone several enhancements since its initial release, focusing on maintaining high image quality and functionality while ensuring portability. With a primary aim of improving efficiency and reproducibility in cardiac ultrasound assessments, this new model is designed to meet the demands of modern healthcare.

Key Features of Compact 5000 Series 2.0

1. Automated Measurement Functions: Auto Measure and AutoStrain LV

One of the standout features of the Compact 5000 series 2.0 is its integration of the automated measurement and analysis functions previously found in the stationary EPIQ/Affiniti systems. The Auto Measure function allows routine measurements to be automated using AI technology, enabling up to a 51% reduction in time compared to manual methods. Furthermore, the AutoStrain LV function facilitates quick left ventricle strain analysis with just the push of a button and automatically calculates ejection fraction (EF) using the Simpson’s method. This automation significantly enhances the efficiency of portable examinations, allowing healthcare professionals to provide prompt and accurate assessments.

2. 3D Transesophageal Echocardiography Capability

The Compact 5000 series 2.0 is now equipped to perform 3D examinations using the X7-2t and X8-2t transducers. These transducers offer compatibility with high-end systems, bringing advanced imaging capabilities to a portable format. The 3D Auto MV function enables automatic analysis of the mitral valve using 3D imaging, making it particularly useful in constrained spaces like operating rooms and during catheter treatments.

3. Pediatric Sector Transducer S12-4 Support

Targeting pediatric patients, including newborns, the device supports the S12-4 sector transducer, which operates within a frequency range of 4-12 MHz. This enhancement ensures that the Compact 5000 series 2.0 is capable of conducting heart or head examinations for infants in settings where portability is crucial, such as NICUs.

Commitment to AI Technology

Philips leverages Deep Learning and Machine Learning technologies in designing these AI modules, guaranteeing that the performance and accuracy of the device remain consistent post-implementation, ensuring reliability across medical applications.
