rformance
The Acuson Cypress™ echocardiography system is
a highly miniaturized, all digital, phased array
echocardiography system that provides complete
studies and outstanding images – even on the most
technically difficult patients. Because today’s clinical
environment leaves no room for compromise and no
time for repeat studies, the Cypress system offers a
full range of capabilities. These include harmonic
mode, high frame rate color flow mapping, Doppler,
stress echo, digital image management and built-in
DICOM connectivity.

The Cypress system allows you to extend the reach of

echocardiography throughout your practice. It is so
lightweight and portable that it moves readily to all
those places where your patients clearly benefit from
the diagnostic power of echocardiography–from the
echo lab to the patient’s bedside, Emergency Room,
Critical Care Unit or physician’s office.

The affordability of the Cypress system means that

economic constraints don’t prevent you from offering
state-of-the-art imaging wherever quality patient care
calls for it.

Advancing echocardiography through

performance and productivity

The Cypress system is the smallest,

lightest, high performance, phased array
echo system ever built. Weighing in at
just 8 kg (19 pounds), with digital storage
capacity for over 100 studies and network
capabilities to send studies from remote
locations, clinicians can perform complete
echocardiography studies from almost
anywhere. The Cypress system was
designed for portability, durability and
reliability, and to withstand the rigors of
constant transportation. System internal
connections are minimized. Key compo-
nents are shock mounted and the entire
system sits inside a robust chassis. From
hospital to office or from airplane to
mountain village, the Cypress system
will perform.

The Value of Vision

For nearly two decades, we have applied a unique philosophy to the practice of
echocardiography. This way of thinking has led to an unsurpassed history of techno-
logical breakthroughs—from the 128XP™ echocardiography system to the Sequoia™
and Aspen™ platforms. And it explains why our platforms have always set the gold
standard for imaging performance and upgradeability.

Total investment protection is the basis of this philosophy. The principal goal is to Gold standard in
echocardiography
ensure that every system delivered meets your clinical needs, now and in the future.

The Cypress system brings Acuson level performance to a portable system, both in
terms of clinical capabilities and upgradeability. The Cypress platform has already
been enhanced since its introduction with new transducers and the availability of
the remarkable AcuNav™ diagnostic ultrasound catheter, bringing the eyes of
advanced ultrasound inside the heart.

Our commitment to the future, to advancing the practice of echocardiography, Connectivity solutions
explains why our platforms have proven to be the best long-term investment in
ultrasound. That’s the Value of Vision. And as Siemens Medical Solutions, that vision
forms part of a comprehensive, integrated medical solution that’s enhancing the
quality of patient care worldwide.
