Ideal for bedside scanning, Sparq is designed with an Intuitive Dynamic Interface that eliminates knobs and buttons, and AutoSCAN, which automatically identifies tissue type and continuously adjusts the image gain while scanning. Adding to the ease of use is Simplicity Mode, a one-touch solution that presents only the ultrasound functions that you use most often. Sparq also features three-point EF, a time-saving tool that creates a tracing of the left ventricle based on user selection of three points on the image.


The system combines proven imaging technologies, such as SonoCT and XRES, with features that aid scanning efficiency. Its innovative design includes a large screen, touch-based control panel, articulating arm with fold-down capability, a sealed, easy-to-clean, tempered glass surface, three transducer connectors with a fast switch capability, and a long battery life.

Sparq is designed for the challenges of ultrasound-guided procedures. Needle Visualization enhances the presentation of needles without degrading the surrounding tissue image, helping you see the needle easily and quickly. To make it easier to conduct out-of-plane procedures, Sparq transducers have a centerline mark that corresponds to a centerline on the screen. The system also provides an on-screen gridline that provides a visual target and distance estimation, while depth markers provide instant information about needle depth, with no need to perform a specific measurement.


Sparq’s Intuitive Dynamic Interface eliminates knobs and buttons, and Simplicity Mode presents only the ultrasound functions that you use most often. The Exam Dashboard seamlessly walks you through an exam from start to finish, while AutoSCAN automatically identifies tissue type and continuously adjusts the image gain while scanning.
