OUR EQUIPMENT

The equipment we use for home examinations

Here are the actual equipment families used in our home services and what each does. The specific system and configuration depend on the requested examination, patient condition and suitability for home care Our equipment also includes Contec systems for EEG, Holter ECG and ambulatory blood-pressure recording

The system and configuration are chosen for each examination and patient
SCANOVA portable equipment for home visits: a portable ultrasound system with probes, a Vieworks digital X-ray detector, and Holter and 24-hour blood pressure recorders in a living room
Portable equipment for home visits
ULTRASOUND & ECHO

Portable ultrasound systems

We use SonoScape E1 Exp and E2 Pro for ultrasound and echocardiography services. The appropriate system and transducer are selected for the requested study

ULTRASOUND & ECHO

SonoScape E1 Exp

Portable color Doppler ultrasound system, used according to the examination and the transducers available

ULTRASOUND & ECHO

SonoScape E2 Pro

Portable color Doppler ultrasound system with imaging functions that depend on its configuration

DIGITAL X-RAY

Portable digital radiography

We use Vieworks digital radiography detectors together with POSKOM portable X-ray units designated 40 and 60. The detector captures the image; the X-ray unit produces the beam

DIGITAL X-RAY

Vieworks DR

Digital radiography (DR) detectors used to capture images following an appropriate X-ray exposure

DIGITAL X-RAY

POSKOM 40 / 60

Portable X-ray units, with 40 and 60 configurations in service. The examination and technical requirements determine selection

EEG, HEART RHYTHM & BLOOD PRESSURE

Electrical monitoring and ambulatory recording

We use equipment made by Contec Medical Systems for EEG, ambulatory ECG (Holter), and 24-hour blood-pressure monitoring. Preparation, recording protocols and interpretation differ by examination and device

EEG

Contec EEG

Equipment used to record electrical activity through scalp electrodes. The clinical specialist determines the recording protocol and duration

Holter ECG

Contec Holter ECG

Portable equipment that records the heart’s electrical activity over the interval prescribed, with instructions for the patient’s daily activities

Ambulatory blood pressure

Contec ABPM

Automated upper-arm cuff measurements taken repeatedly during the planned monitoring period, potentially including sleep

The Contec manufacturer is confirmed, but the exact models have not yet been supplied. Channel counts, accuracy and other model-specific specifications are intentionally omitted

These models describe our available equipment, not a promise to use a particular model for every visit

What matters before your visit

A device name alone does not tell us whether an examination is suitable. We consider the clinical question, positioning, and safety requirements first

The right examination

We confirm whether the requested examination is suitable for the home setting and advise when a facility would be more appropriate

Probes and positioning

Ultrasound and echo need suitable transducers; X-ray studies need appropriate positioning

Radiation safety

Digital radiography still uses ionizing X-rays, requiring clinical justification and appropriate radiation-safety measures

Images and reports

Image and report delivery arrangements are explained during booking, according to the study

Questions about the equipment

Do ultrasound and echo use the same kind of system?

Both use ultrasound, but they may need different transducers and examination settings. We confirm the suitable configuration before the visit

Is digital X-ray radiation-free?

No. A DR detector digitizes the image, but standard radiography still uses X-rays and requires appropriate safety measures

Can every X-ray examination be performed at home?

No. Some views and clinical situations require positioning or facilities not available at home. Each request is checked before scheduling

Will the same device be used for every visit?

The device and technical configuration depend on the examination, patient needs, location and availability

SCANOVA brings home medical imaging, diagnostic examinations and procedures such as paracentesis and thoracentesis to patients across Cairo and Giza, with portable equipment suited to home visits and qualified medical professionals. Our coordination team confirms suitability and timing before each visit.
