Smarter Screening and Osteoporosis Testing with the - ITS

Smarter Screening and Osteoporosis
Testing with the New
Osteoporosis, a costly and potentially debilitating disease, can be
effectively managed through therapies and treatments.
In many
cases, the onset of the disease can even be prevented if detected early
enough.
Routine screening for osteoporosis is becoming part of the
complete package for women’s health. The Pegasus Smart was developed
to meet the needs of the different professionals interested in bone health
screening and monitoring.
Modern screening solution
Easy-to-use
Exam time < 1 sec
Flexible configurations
Featuring the most recent technologies available on an ultrasound
device, the Pegasus Smart is a portable solution that is easy to use, fast
(less than 1 second for exam time!), flexible and cost-efficient. It is a
totally
radiation
free,
dry
solution
that
performs
an
exam on the heel bone (the micro-architecture of the
calcaneus bone being well-correlated with the femur/hip) and
estimates bone strength.

In order to provide maximum flexibility, the
Pegasus Smart features 2 modes: portable mode and
desktop mode.
Easy to transport in
portable mode
In desktop mode, the system can be
connected to a portable computer and a
printer to provide a permanent workstation
that provides full access to the software and
for full page color reports. The software
is fully compatible with Windows XP, Vista,
Windows 7, etc.

A complete easy-to-use software program
Our complete software package has been developed to make administering
exams easy, fast and efficient. Storing, retrieving printing and archiving
patient information can all be done with the simple click of a button.

In its portable mode the system is completely
autonomous and results are printed on an
easy to read ticket.
Up to 300 exams
can
be
stored
on
the
device
and
later imported to a laptop, ensuring complete patient
follow-up. This configuration is ideal for practitioners
who transport the system from place to place, for
pharmacies who provide screening services, or
pharmaceutical companies who perform screenings in
conjunction with their therapeutic services.

Calibration phantom
Daily autocalibration with provided phantom
Phantom material:
Solid PMMA
Phantom principle:
The phantom is a
reference for low ultrasound attenuation and
for thickness measurement. Its exact values
are calibrated in factory, printed on the
phantom, and stored in the device.
Calibration method:
Automatic measurement
of ultrasound transmission, echo,
signal/noise ratio, linearity.
Calibration interpretation:
Automatic comparison
to absolute built-in limits and to relative limits
(compared to factory calibration, for
detecting any drift).
