The GE HealthCare Venue Fit™ Point-of-Care Ultrasound System is a compact, adaptable POCUS platform designed to deliver advanced bedside imaging in clinical environments where space, mobility, speed, and workflow efficiency are essential. As the smallest-footprint system in the Venue family, Venue Fit combines GE HealthCare’s cSound™ imaging technology with a 14-inch touchscreen, two wired probe ports, wireless dual-probe connectivity, and a suite of AI-enabled clinical tools. Its flexible design allows clinicians to use the system on a cart, tabletop, kickstand, or standard VESA-mounted configuration, making it well suited for emergency medicine, critical care, anesthesiology, MSK, pediatrics, neonatal care, and image-guided procedures.
Venue Fit is designed specifically for clinical areas where a conventional ultrasound cart may be difficult to accommodate. It has the smallest footprint in the GE HealthCare Venue family, while retaining the advanced imaging and workflow features expected from a dedicated point-of-care ultrasound system.
The ultrasound unit can be detached from its adjustable cart for tabletop use, operated with a kickstand, or connected using a standard VESA mounting interface. Large cart casters and a compact footprint help the system navigate around beds, monitors, ventilators, and other equipment commonly found in high-acuity environments.
Venue Fit uses GE HealthCare's cSound™ imaging technology, providing the imaging engine behind the system's point-of-care capabilities. GE HealthCare pairs cSound with a broad range of Venue-family transducers designed for applications spanning critical care and perioperative imaging to MSK, pediatric, and neonatal examinations.
The system supports multiple diagnostic ultrasound modes, including B-Mode, M-Mode, PW Doppler, CW Doppler, Color Doppler, Color M-Mode, Power Doppler, and Harmonic Imaging, providing clinicians with flexibility across a wide range of diagnostic and procedural examinations.
Venue Fit incorporates a collection of AI-enabled and automated tools intended to streamline point-of-care examinations and promote greater consistency among users with different levels of ultrasound experience.
Available Venue-family tools include:
These tools are designed to reduce repetitive measurement and documentation steps while providing quantitative information directly at the point of care.
Venue Fit supports focused cardiac and hemodynamic ultrasound with dedicated cardiac transducers and automated measurement tools.
Auto VTI can calculate and display trends in velocity time integral and cardiac output, while Real-Time EF provides automated assistance for evaluating left ventricular systolic function. Caption Guidance can further support cardiac image acquisition, particularly when clinicians are developing their point-of-care echocardiography skills.
The system's diagnostic capabilities include M-Mode, PW and CW Doppler, Color Doppler, and other modes used during cardiovascular ultrasound assessment.
Venue Fit provides dedicated workflow tools for lung and trauma ultrasound. The Lung Diagram organizes anatomical lung segments in a single view and enables streamlined image storage, helping clinicians document bedside pulmonary examinations.
For trauma assessment, the eFAST Diagram supports evaluation and documentation of findings associated with conditions ranging from internal bleeding to pneumothorax. Its compact design allows the system to be positioned directly at the bedside during time-sensitive emergency evaluations.
Venue Fit supports interventional guidance for procedures including tissue biopsy, fluid drainage, vascular access, and non-vascular access.
For regional anesthesia, Nerveblox™ supports ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block applications. High-frequency linear transducers can provide detailed visualization of superficial anatomy, vessels, nerves, and surrounding structures during procedural imaging.
Although designed around point-of-care workflows, Venue Fit supports an extensive range of clinical applications. Its cleared applications include:
This breadth allows healthcare organizations to configure Venue Fit for a particular specialty or deploy it as a flexible ultrasound platform across multiple departments.
Venue Fit provides two active wired probe ports plus wireless dual-probe connectivity, allowing clinicians to keep frequently used transducers readily accessible while adding wireless scanning flexibility when needed.
The cart can be configured with adjustable probe, gel, and barcode-reader locations, while interchangeable probe holders and cable-management features help keep cords off the floor and reduce clutter around the patient. Detachable bins and holders can also be repositioned based on department or procedural requirements.
Venue Fit's battery system provides up to one hour of active scan time, allowing clinicians to perform examinations away from AC power. A color-changing battery indicator makes remaining power status easy to identify while the system is in use.
When cart-mounted, a foot pedal allows the clinician to raise or lower the system—even while seated—to improve viewing position and ergonomics.
Venue Fit features smooth, seamless surfaces designed to support cleaning and infection-control workflows. Probe-holder slots can also help elevate and drape probes during sterile procedures.
The system incorporates a durable screen, protective bumpers, and multipurpose handles to help protect it against the routine bumps, splashes, and movement encountered in busy point-of-care environments.
The GE HealthCare Venue Fit is ideal for:
