Environmental Benefits
GE Healthcare High Efficiency General Imaging Ultrasound systems are among the most energy efficient in the industry. Using EU industry-developed power consumption testing standards, a LOGIQ E9 consumes 234 kWh, or 17%, less electricity per year and the LOGIQ S8 consumes 527 kWh, or 43%, less electricity per year while enhancing image acquisition and quality compared to the previous generation of GE systems they replace. For hospitals that are actively addressing facility energy use, upgrading 6 previous generation GE ultrasound systems out of a their existing fleet to GE's High Efficiency LOGIQ E9 and LOGIQ S8 General Imaging Ultrasound systems can save about 18,200 kWh in electricity consumption over 8 years of use, avoiding approximately 10 metric tons of CO2 emissions on the US grid. This is equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 2 cars on US roads or the CO2 absorbed by about 3 acres of southeastern US forest each year.
Operating Benefits
GE Healthcare's High Efficiency General Imaging ultrasound systems, the LOGIQ E9 and LOGIQ S8, enhance image acquisition and quality while improving productivity through reduced scan time compared to prior GE technology. Using Scan Assistant, an innovative software tool that intuitively assists the sonographer with customizable automations at each step of the ultrasound exam, can reduce keystrokes 66-79% and exam time 42-54%, or about 5 minutes per exam.
