Energy Effciency
Energy effciency has been designed into the
ACUSON P10 system with instant power-up,
battery saving power management and
fast power-down. The ACUSON P10 system
operates on a rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Revolutionize the Way You Work
The ACUSON P10 system is the frst pocket ultrasound
imaging device providing physicians and clinical
personnel with earlier, faster and more accurate
clinical assessments at the point-of-care.
Benefts
Cost-effective, real-time imaging that supports your
fnancial strategies while improving quality of care
Ultra-portable means you are never without information
Improves diagnostic confdence through visual
information because seeing is believing
Instant power-up for quick decisions because time
to information can be the difference between life
and death
Cardiology
The ACUSON P10 system enables you to visualize basic
anatomy, function and effusion as part of an initial
patient assessment, routine follow-up or in pre/post
procedures care in the ICU/CCU.
Emergency Medicine
Not since the introduction of the stethoscope has one
tool promised to do more to enhance emergency medical
screening and triage assessments. The ACUSON P10 system
allows clinicians and EMTs to make faster and more accurate
decisions by providing visual information when and where
its needed.
Obstetrics
The ACUSON P10 system gives physicians and midwives a
quick and comprehensive overview on fetal positioning,
anatomy, heart beat, fuid levels and placenta location
during labor or routine offce visits.
Reduced Environmental Footprint
With less mass, fewer components, better
energy effciency and reduced shipping
weight as compared to a full-size ultrasound
system, the ACUSON P10 system proves it
is possible to have powerful performance
without a large environmental footprint.

Cumulative Energy Demand
Energy consumption is the most important
environmental characteristic of medical devices.
This is why we use cumulative energy demand to
assess environmental performance. Cumulative
energy demand is the total primary energy*
consumed across the products entire lifecycle the
energy necessary to produce, use and dispose of
a device including all transportation. We design
our products with the goal of reducing cumulative
energy demand.
* Primary energy is the energy contained in natural resources
prior to undergoing any human made conversion (e.g. oil, solar)
Packaging
The ACUSON P10 systems packaging materials
consist of almost entirely of cardboard, foam
and other plastics, all of which can be recycled.
Total weight of packaging: approx. 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg)
Product Take Back
Our product take-back program ensures we address
the environmental aspects of our products even at
the end-of-life. We take back products, packaging
and batteries as required by laws and regulations.
As part of this program, we refurbish systems and
reuse components whenever possible through our
Refurbished System business. By having thorough
knowledge of the materials comprising our products,
we can design products to maximize reuse, recycling
and energy recovery.
Nearly all the materials in the ACUSON P10 system
have further use at the end of the products useful
life: 82% can be recycled and 18% can be used
as fuel.
Siemens provides disassembly instructions to
treatment facilities for the safe and proper
removal and recycling of electronic components
in this product.
