Acuson Cypress PLUS Ultrasound

Acuson Cypress cardiovascular system PLUS delivers advanced ergonomics and superior performance in a highly portable package. The Cypress System PLUS is a highly miniaturized, all digital, phased array echocardiography system that provides complete studies and outstanding images – even on patients who are difficult to image.

The Cypress PLUS transitions easily from your small private office or hospital echo lab to the operating theatre or your patient’s bedside. It’s ultrasound where you need it.

The Cypress PLUS delivers high performance in a complete range of cardiovascular capabilities.

Designed with advanced ergonomics in mind, the Cypress system PLUS streamlines your workflow and increases your productivity.

If you already own a Cypress system, keeping technologically current is simple with the Cypress Upgrade program.

The Cypress system is the smallest, lightest, high performance, phased array echo system ever built. Weighing in at just 19 pounds, with digital storage capacity for over 100 studies and network capabilities to send studies from remote locations, clinicians can perform complete echocardiography studies from almost anywhere. The Cypress system was designed for portability, durability and reliability, and to withstand the rigors of constant transportation. Internal system interconnects are minimized. Key components are shock mounted and the entire system sits inside a robust chassis. From hospital to office or from airplane to mountain village, the Cypress system will perform.
