Philips Unveils POC Ultrasound with Flash 5100

Flash 5100 POC by Philips includes artificial-intelligence powered automation and a touch screen which can help enable rapid scanning in high-pressure situations.

Global Health technology leader Royal Philips has recently unveiled its Flash Ultrasound System 5100 POC, a new diagnostic device for critical care.

Built on Philips’ established foundation of cardiology and general imaging ultrasound technology, Flash 5100 POC is a portable system that combines image clarity, smart automation, and intuitive touchscreen controls.

Flash 5100 POC encounter-based workflow enables clinicians to perform and document exams in real time, which is claimed to be ideal for high-pressure environments such as the ER, ICU, and trauma units.

Jeff Cohen, Global Business Leader of Ultrasound at Philips said, “It’s built to empower health systems to act faster and treat smarter—delivering critical information to clinicians and non-traditional ultrasound users in the most time-sensitive and demanding environments.”

Point-of-Care Imaging in Real Time

The Philips Flash 5100 POC is designed to enable clinicians to make confident decisions at the bedside in high-stress settings, such as trauma units, emergency departments, intensive care units, and operating rooms.

This new system incorporates built-in support for Philips' Tela-Ultrasound solution Collaboration Live, through which clinicians can also connect with remote colleagues in real time, sharing screens, images, and guidance instantly.

“In today’s overburdened clinical landscape, that kind of remote collaboration isn’t just helpful—it’s essential,” Cohen added.

In addition, the company said the Flash 5100 POC can integrate with its other point-of-care ultrasound imagers, such as the hand-held Lumify probes and the recently launched Compact 5000 Series multispecialty systems.
