Pricing: $4,600 to $8,600, depending on model and options
FYI: Bard Access Systems' Site-Rite Prevue is a low-cost, portable ultrasound imaging device that can increase the success rate of your nurses'
and anesthesia providers' initial IV catheter placements as compared with
traditional blind sticks, particularly among patients with limited venous
access. Here's how: The system provides users with an assessment of the
vasculature under examination; with real-time navigational guidance; with
information on the depth and size of vessels; and with the ability to visualize
the vasculature, including identifications of bifurcations, valves and tortuous
curves before any attempts at access.
