Site~Rite* 6 Ultrasound System

Affordable, Easy-to-Use Ultrasound for Central Venous Access

Improved Patient Outcomes

The Site~Rite* 6 Ultrasound System meets AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) recommendations for use of real-time ultrasound guidance for central line placement.

Reduction of Complications

Clear vessel visualization reduces risk of inadvertent arterial puncture, hematoma or pneumothorax.

Demonstrated Clinical Efficacy

Clinical investigation has demonstrated increases in vascular access procedural success for central catheter placement among clinicians using real-time ultrasound guidance.

Patented Needle Guide

The Site~Rite* 6 Ultrasound System’s patented needle guides direct the needle to the target vessel.

Features:

  • Large 12.1” screen
  • 4 image options for a sharper or smoother image
  • Vessel wall sharpening
  • Vascular access image depths
    • Superficial 1.5 cm image depth for shallow imaging including pediatric placements
    • Deep 6 cm image depth for deeper needle guidance including bariatric patients
  • Ability to input patient information
  • Intuitive and easy-to-use control buttons
  • 60-minute internal battery
  • Vascular access probe
    • Solid state vascular access probe
    • Buttons located on the probe allow control, including printing, from within the sterile field
  • Integrated carrying handle for increased portability
  • Locking drawer for sharps and drugs
  • Flat workspace for increased flexibility during bedside vascular access device placement
  • Vertical file for medical files and patient charts
  • Large storage bins for transport of needle guide supplies used in vascular access device placement

Safety and Efficacy for Central Venous Access

The Site~Rite* 6 Ultrasound System conforms to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) recommendations for the use of real time ultrasound for central line placement1.

Increased Success Rates2– Real time ultrasound guidance increases the success rates of internal jugular and subclavian access

Decreased Complications2– Reduced incidences of carotid puncture, hematoma and brachial plexus irritation

Reduced Venipunctures3 – Reduction in the number of venipuncture kits used to achieve access
