-
The gold standard for security
Philips recognises the importance of securing your ultrasound system and protecting your patients' data. The security feature is a defense-in-depth strategy that comprises five layers: firewall, operating system hardening, malware protection, access controls and patient data encryption. Each of these layers plays an important role in helping you thwart hackers, defend against malware, and prevent unauthorised access. - PureWave transducer technology
-
PureWave transducer technology for technically difficult patients
The exceptional performance of PureWave results in improved diagnostic confidence, especially on technically difficult patients. PureWave transducer technology is available on two Sparq transducers: the C5-1 and X7-2t. - Ergonomic design
-
Ergonomic design for ease of use in challenging environments
Sparq is height-adjustable, has a small footprint and features a large 17-inch monitor on an articulating arm. This makes it easy to position even in the most challenging clinical environments. Easy clip, our innovative cable management solution, keeps cables tangle-free. You can use the optional barcode scanner to obtain patient information from your hospital-generated barcode, accelerating efficiency and decreasing data entry errors. - Remote Reporting
-
Remote Reporting
Sparq’s Remote Reporting* feature provides clinicians with remote access to the Telexy Qpath™** data management system. This feature allows clinicians to interact with the ultrasound images and Qpath worksheets directly from Sparq. The ability to complete and approve ultrasound exam reports at the point of care uniquely enhances the workflow. - Intuitive Dynamic Interface
-
Automation features to make scanning easy
To make scanning easy, Sparq is designed with an intuitive dynamic interface that removes complexity. To decrease interaction with system controls, AutoSCAN automatically identifies tissue type and continuously adjusts image gain while scanning. - Sealed control panel
-
Sealed control panel enables easy cleaning
Sparq features a sealed, easy-to-clean, tempered glass control panel that enables easy cleaning. - Battery operation
-
Battery operation saves critical time
Battery operation and 'instant on' features facilitate rapid assessment when time is crucial. You can perform multiple exams without system shut down. - Easy procedure guidance
-
Easy procedure guidance
Sparq features Needle Visualisation, a needle guidance technology that enhances the presentation of the needle without degrading the image, facilitating quick needle guidance to the target anatomy. The L12-4 and C6-2 transducers have a centreline mark to make out-of-plane procedures easy. - SonoCT and XRES
-
SonoCT and XRES improves image quality and reduces noise
Compounding multiple angles in real time, SonoCT delivers one image with high image quality. SonoCT significantly reduces many of the artifacts that are inherent in conventional ultrasound, and XRES creates images virtually free from noise, with stunning image quality and border definition. - Clinical applications designed for emergency medicine
-
Clinical applications designed for emergency medicine
With a broad set of transducers and features, Sparq supports an array of clinical applications and produces outstanding image quality. Supported applications include: cardiac and TOE, lung, vascular access, abdomen, musculoskeletal, FAST, nerve, ocular, superficial, and pelvic imaging. - Multiport adapter
-
Multiport adapter for easily switching transducers
Sparq features a Multiport adapter that allows up to three imaging transducers to be connected to the system at once, so you can easily switch transducers mid-exam.

Testimonials
“The Sparq is, without a doubt, the best all-round point-of-care ultrasound machine I've had the pleasure of using. The image quality is excellent for a portable machine, battery life is solid, the user interface is easy to use, and keep clean. The machine itself is light, maneuverable and very user friendly.” Dr. Justin Bowra, Emergency Physician, Sydney NSW “We have now been using the Sparq for 3 months. The echo image reproduction is possibly the best in its class at the present moment, an area of point of care imaging where this class of machines normally fail. The simplicity mode reduces the angst of beginners in ultrasound yet allowing advanced users to continue to get as much out of the system as required. The battery life is impressive and allows for significant mobility in an ED setting.” Dr. Ash Mukherjee, Emergency Physician, Armadale W.A “Sparq puts Philips image quality into a compact, affordable package that is designed for use at the point of care. Innovations like a large articulated screen, embedded wireless capabilities and long battery life allow it to be used effectively at the bedside. The glass touch control panel is intuitive to use and button-free, which allows for easy cleaning.” Christopher Moore, MD, RDMS, RDCS Yale School of Medicine (Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Director of Emergency Ultrasound Section, Director of Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship)
