CHAPTER 2 KOSMOS Overview
What is KOSMOS?
KOSMOS consists of Kosmos Bridge, which runs the EchoNous system software,
and is connected by cable to Kosmos Torso. KOSMOS provides portable
ultrasound imaging and supports the following:
• Noninvasive heart, lungs, and abdominal ultrasound imaging
• Three lead, single-channel ECG
• Digital auscultation (DA) signals
KOSMOS uses pulse-echo ultrasound to generate real-time ultrasound
images. This process involves transmitting high-frequency acoustic pulses
into the body with Kosmos Torso, detecting the returned signals with
Kosmos Torso and processing the return echoes through analog and digital
processing to form real-time images of anatomy (B-mode and M-mode)
and blood flow (Color Doppler).
Kosmos Bridge is a custom-designed tablet approved, preconfigured, and
supplied by EchoNous. Kosmos Bridge is provided with a power supply. When
the display is connected to Kosmos Torso, the combination is configured as a
medical electrical system.
KOSMOS provides optional wireless connectivity, allowing remote storage. Both
the Kosmos Bridge and the Kosmos Torso are battery powered.
