Siemens Focuses Ultrasound Business on Procedural Imaging
Siemens Healthineers has ended sales of its general imaging ultrasound systems to focus solely on procedural imaging and image-guided therapy.
As of October 12:
- The company no longer offers its Acuson Sequoia, Redwood, Juniper, and Maple systems.
- Its ultrasound portfolio now includes procedural systems: Acuson Origin, P500 intracardiac echocardiography system (ICE), and Freestyle.
- These systems are sold with dedicated software and catheters primarily to electrophysiologists and interventional cardiologists.
"By concentrating our ultrasound portfolio on procedural imaging, we can apply our strengths in advanced cardiovascular imaging, ICE, software, AI, and partnerships with cardiovascular device companies to address important clinical needs and create long-term value for physicians, patients, and Siemens Healthineers." - Sourabh Pagaria, Head of Ultrasound, Siemens Healthineers
Future Plans:
- Siemens will continue to provide service and support for existing customers, honoring contractual and regulatory obligations.
- This includes maintenance, software updates, and transducer availability.
