Going to see the doctor has become a big problem that has perplexed officials and soldiers garrisoned at Heilongjiang’s Kalun Mountain Sentry Post where roads have been closed off because of the snow and temperatures are 30 degrees below zero. A certain hospital of the liberation army quickly organized a traveling clinical team to head out to the river boundary. On a road that cars could not reach they could only risk walking on the snow. “Ka, ka”. The sound of footsteps on the snowy ground seemed particularly distinct.
The Chairman of the Special Clinic Department Xiang Jiabing is a member of the traveling clinical team, and is in charge of conducting ultrasound scans for the team. On the road she has always been focused on one thing: to get to the family of Wei Zhangcheng, the Director of the Border Defense Brigade’s Hygiene Clinic, and conduct an examination of a family member of his that is over 8 months pregnant.
The equipment that these examinations have to use not only needs to be of outstanding quality, but also light and convenient --- when traveling on snowy ground, simply walking is exhausting.
In order to arrive with light gear the team specially brought the portable color Doppler ultrasound VINNO 6 to the director. Different from the other 10 kilogram “portable” equipment in the department, the VINNO 6 is delicate, small, only 3.5 kilograms, and can be carried with one hand.
“This equipment truly embodied the meaning of portable ultrasound. Its two dimensional and blood flow image performance were both outstanding, and it was very simple to operate.”
With the support of high end technology like this, and guiding the director to lightly turn the probe with his right hand and lightly touch the screen with his left hand, the scan was smoothly completed in a few minutes. The fetus was very healthy. Wei Zhangcheng’s family could calm their hearts.
In the past few years miniaturized, specialized, and smart portable ultrasound has brought ever more possibilities to clinical doctors. The context behind this is intimately connected with the hard work of ultrasound technology R&D personnel.
VINNO’s Operations Director Chen Huiren stated: “The VINNO 6 is the lightest portable color Doppler ultrasound in the industry. It is matched with the independently researched and developed RF metadata platform, and is able to restore information to the greatest degree. Add to this the 23MHz high frequency probe and the unique ingenuity of the “V-Guide” functions, and you could say that it is already a leading world standard.”
Climbing snowy mountains, crossing icy rivers, going up sentry posts, and entering igloos,the footsteps of the traveling clinical team have been to over 20 clinical locations, and brought medical services to those guarding the northern borders of China. VINNO has also accompanied their footsteps, and brought warmth to border defense officers and soldiers.
This is our common wish: let high end ultrasound technology help doctors travel farther and make officers and soldiers on the frontiers healthy and happy.
