Philips Compact 5500 – high-end ultrasound diagnostics in a compact form factor
The Compact 5500 is designed for mobile clinical workflows: premium performance typically associated with
flagship systems, packaged for flexible use across wards, critical care areas and fast-moving clinical settings. It is a strong
fit for teams that require reliable imaging outside the traditional ultrasound room—quick to deploy, intuitive to operate and
consistent in image quality.
Premium imaging – clear visualization even in challenging patients
With support for PureWave and xMatrix transducers, the system is built to deliver detailed
visualization and stable performance when exam conditions are demanding. Automation tools such as Auto Measure
help streamline reproducible measurements, while AutoStrain LV can support cardiac assessment workflows and
accelerate reporting where appropriate.
- up to 27% improved lateral resolution with the S12-4 transducer
-
Live 3D TEE with up to 2x higher volumetric frame rates
- advanced Doppler and 3D imaging to support detailed cardiac visualization
Broad clinical versatility – beyond cardiology
The Compact 5500 is built for interdisciplinary use. With a wide range of compatible transducers and exam modes, it supports
diverse clinical needs—from routine imaging to acute care pathways.
-
Cardiology (including TEE, stress echo and LV function analysis)
- General and internal medicine
-
Vascular imaging and angiologic assessment
-
Pediatrics and neonatology
-
Emergency and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)
Compact, mobile, ready – optimized for daily ward workflows
The system combines a compact design with a flexible 10-inch touchscreen and an intuitive interface for fast
operation. A battery option supports mobile use and can enable up to 2 hours of continuous
scanning—ideal for rounds and areas where power access is limited. Optional transport solutions (e.g., a carry case) can support
safe movement between locations.
Hygiene and durability – made for demanding clinical areas
For environments with strict hygiene requirements, the system is designed for easy cleaning. A
sealed control surface supports routine disinfection and helps maintain efficient device turnover in ICU,
perioperative and emergency settings.
Smart automation – faster, standardized assessment
Integrated automation and analysis tools such as AutoStrain LV and 3DQ Advanced can reduce
manual steps while supporting standardized, traceable measurements. This helps save time and improve reporting consistency,
especially in high-throughput workflows.
