High -tech Completeness

Exploiting the migration of technology,
the digital front-end system and the
latest generation of micro-electronic
components, Caris Plus has a high frame
rate and spatial resolution to support any
new diagnostic frontiers.
Due to its flexible structure, Caris Plus
can be used for Cardiac, Vascular,
Phased Array
Obstetrics & Gynecology and General
Purposes examinations. Moreover, an
archival system and DICOM® compliance
connectivity can be added.

Adaptability Compactness
Linear Array

The small chassis, the lightweight
ergonomic keyboard and the easy-to-move
trolley, will make Caris Plus appreciated
in all environments (especially where
limited space and time are enemies to be
faced):Intensive Care Units, Emergency
Rooms, bed examinations, labs of small
dimension
Our aim is to develop compact, High-tech
systems so that even the smallest private
lab can make useful diagnoses and doctors
can have portable units when needed.
Thanks to its digital microelectronics and
the optional LCD TFT monitor, Caris Plus
has a perfect combination of lightweight, Convex Array
small dimensions and the most complete
range of functions.

Modularity

Endocavity
With its modular structure, Caris Plus can also be used as either a portable or conventional
cart-equipped system.
Caris Plus also carries this modular concept into its software: from B-Mode, M-Mode with
PW and CW Steerable Doppler, to high-sensitivity Color and Power Doppler.
CARDIOLOGY
ESAOTE’s experience is at your service to be your faithful partner during your routine
daily work, giving you a complete machine to study even the most difficult patients

Wide range of probes

Caris Plus has been designed to satisfy any cardiac requirement through its high-density broadband Phased Array probe
range. All necessary probes are available, from 2 to10 MHz, and different fundamental frequencies can be selected in either
B-Mode, or Tissue Enhancement Imaging (TEI™).

Tissue Enhancement Imaging (TEI™)

Caris Plus incorporates B-Mode harmonic technology to exploit the non-linear characteristics of tissues, reducing noise
and artfacts in the case of difficult-to-study patients.

High Frequency probes

Caris Plus has been developed for children and newborns as well as adult patients. Mid- and high-frequency probes (up to
10 MHz), with superb spatial resolution, are available. All of these reveal superb B/M-Mode quality, good penetration, Color
and Spectral Doppler sensitivity.

The dedicated optional modules of Caris Plus complete any patient evaluation by adding exceptional
sensitivity and specificity

Integrated Stress Echo

This complete software can assist you in the kinetic assessment of the
left ventricle during stress tests: still images or Wall Motion loops can
be captured in Prospective or Transparent modes and simultaneously
displayed in Quad-Mode. Different programmable protocols and
steps are available, producing a flexible and precise system.

Wall Motion score

The score index completes the evaluation of abnormalities by selecting

Quad Mode
the appropriate views characterizing the regional wall motion, and each
segment is scored using preset tables.

D.A.M. database

Digital Archival Module (D.A.M.)

This module, directly connected to the Caris Plus
keyboard, can archive all still images, loops and reports.
Hard Disk, Floppy Disk and MOD are dedicated to storing
and reviewing your normal or Wall Motion examinations.
An easy-to-use database really helps in storing all patient
data using different access keys, i.e. names, labels, date,
etc.
Because of its network capability Caris Plus can be
connected to an external PC with the aim of
communicating via DICOM® protocols.
VASCULAR
Image quality, CFM sensitivity and Spectral Doppler accuracy

Upper limbs
Any vascular, upper limb or peripheral district examination can easily
be studied with the Caris Plus high-density broadband linear probes.
The large spectrum of high frequency probes, which provide detailed
detection and good penetration, permits even the most difficult diagnosis.
The digital processing, with its low-noise channel processing, ensures
CFM sensitivity to detect any kind of flow velocity: the slowest for
superficial veins or the highest for carotid stenosis. Broadband frequency,
steering and HPRF provide velocity quantification with accurate depiction
of the above-mentioned flows.

Lower limbs
The 9-4 MHz high frequency probe can provide you with high definition
imaging and also penetration in order to help with obese and difficult-
to-scan patients.
PW Doppler sensitivity can be increased during deep artery or vein
Carotid bifurcation
scanning, giving more diagnostic security.

Phlebology
The superior high frequency probes of Caris Plus, with CFM and
Spectral Doppler high sensitivity, give excellent image quality,
The Doppler frequency and frame rate also permit vascular assessment
in very superficial veins.

Easy-to-use to meet your diagnostic requirements

We know your daily routine and so we have designed Caris Plus to be your ideal partner: the comfortable sliding keyboard,
the large 15” flat SVGA non-interlaced monitor, and the elegant compact trolley with a comfortable probe-holder create
the ideal portable working station.

With its digital beamformer system and high performance broadband convex probes, Caris Plus provides exceptionally clear
noise-free B-Mode quality. Programmable preset-functions including different transmission frequencies, pre- and
post-processing, zoom enhancement, split, dual or quad mode, can be chosen to simplify your job.
Moreover, sensitive Color Flow Mapping, Power Doppler with Pulsed Wave Doppler can be added to complete your system.

At this point, any morphological or vascular diagnostic demand can be satisfied, without any compromise in quality, and at
an affordable price.
