EchoMap

EchoMap delivers automated images that visualize vessel path and depth to support cannulation, enabling care teams to confidently assess and access targets. No prior ultrasound experience is needed.

Empowering Every Member
of the Care Team with Ultrasound

EchoMap is designed so that any trained member of the care team – from dialysis technicians to nurses – can reliably capture and interpret vessel anatomy for cannulation preparation, without requiring advanced sonography skills. Giving any member of the care team the ability to view the access could improve cannulation outcomes by reducing the number of cannulation failures and injuries and increasing patient satisfaction.

Intuitive vessel path visualization: EchoMap displays the course of the vessel, allowing users to see curves, narrowing, and other details so that they can find an optimal location for cannulation.

Vessel depth measurement: EchoMap shows vessel depth using a color-coded overlay, showing users where the vessel is shallow versus deep.

Automated probe positioning: Proprietary algorithms eliminate the need for meticulous manual orientation of the EchoMap probe. Users simply need to place the transducer on the patient’s skin and click a button – the system does the rest.

Support for safe, efficient cannulation: By showing users clear access imaging, EchoMap helps reduce failed cannulation attempts, minimize vessel trauma, and streamline cannulation workflows.

3 Steps to Using EchoMap

EchoMap instantly images in the coronal plane, providing a top-down view for technicians. Cannulators can see the position and path of the fistula as if they could view it through the skin, without the need for image interpretation. 3D imaging enables a full view of the target anatomy without requiring the user to hold the transducer in a specific position or orientation.

Automation reduces the learning curve for ultrasound, allowing technicians to confidently operate the device with minimal training.

EchoMap gives users without prior ultrasound experience the ability to see the fistula or graft trajectory as if looking through the skin.

DISINFECT AND CANNULATE

Conventional ultrasound often demands advanced training and manual manipulation, which can mean extra appointments and can slow down access to patient care. In contrast, EchoMap empowers the dialysis technicians responsible for cannulation to leverage ultrasound. Use of the device may support improving cannulation consistency, even when deployed by non-sonographers, which may enable:

Improving first-stick success rates
Reducing complications and access site trauma
Enhancing patient satisfaction

Seamless Integration & Workflow-Ready

EchoMap is designed for rapid deployment in the dialysis clinic environment. With minimal setup and intuitive controls, it fits naturally into existing cannulation and access-preparation workflows, allowing your teams to focus on patient care.
