Patient environment
Patient environment
KOSMOS is intended to be used in a medical facility. It is battery powered and is
expected to be used in the patient environment. Scanning can also be
performed when KOSMOS is plugged into the EchoNous-approved power
supply. It is important to only use the EchoNous-approved power supply; if you
use another power supply, scanning will be disabled (but KOSMOS will continue
to charge).
KOSMOS capabilities
Overview
KOSMOS uses ultrasound imaging to permit a clinical assessment of the key
cardiac structures, including the heart chambers, heart valves, and major heart
vessels for adult and pediatric patients. As part of this clinical assessment,
KOSMOS permits visualization of blood flow using color Doppler technology.
Using ultrasound, ECG, and DA signals simultaneously
In most situations, ultrasound, auscultation, and ECG are a few of the most
valuable signals used in medicine for assessing the heart. KOSMOS seamlessly
integrates these three signals to acquire, visualize, and analyze the results with a
single device.
To properly capture and analyze the dynamic anatomic and physiological
information associated with the signals, KOSMOS acquires, stores, and displays
these signals in synchronization. As a user, you can add DA, ECG, or both signals
to the ultrasound exam.
