EDAN Acclarix LX6 Diagnostic Ultrasound System

The EDAN Acclarix LX6 is a mid-range cart-based diagnostic ultrasound system engineered for whole-body clinical imaging in radiology, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, emergency medicine, and general practice. It combines EDAN’s SynSight synthetic focused sonography platform with tissue adaptive imaging (TAI) , adaptive Doppler, and a comprehensive suite of image-processing technologies—bringing shared-service imaging capability to departments that need one system across multiple clinical specialties.

The Acclarix LX6 is positioned within EDAN’s Acclarix cart-based portfolio. Its regulatory footprint includes China NMPA registration covering the LX6 model, and EDAN’s FDA 510(k) clearance K192879 for the Acclarix LX9 Series, whose clinical applications include abdominal, gynecology, obstetric, cardiac, small parts, urology, musculoskeletal, peripheral vascular, intra-operative, pediatric, neonatal, and adult cephalic imaging. The LX6 model name itself is not separately listed in the K192879 clearance; buyers should confirm local registration and labeling for the specific model and market before purchase.

The system’s standard imaging package includes SynSight synthetic focused sonography, TAI tissue adaptive imaging, adaptive Doppler, frequency compounding, spatial compounding, harmonic imaging, eSRI speckle reduction, spectrum enhancement, digital multi-beam forming, trapezoid imaging, extended field of view, B steer, pan zoom (digital zoom) , spot zoom (acoustic zoom) , full-screen zoom, auto trace, TDI tissue Doppler imaging, and panorama——a breadth of acquisition and processing tools oriented toward consistent image quality across patient body habitus and clinical question.

For advanced clinical workflows, the LX6 supports optional licenses covering cardiac measurement and analysis (Auto EF, Auto Strain & WMSI, Stress Echo), elastography (Strain Elastography, Shear Wave Elastography), contrast-enhanced imaging, MFI microflow imaging, 3D/4D, and respiratory wave monitoring. Internal ECG and external ECG modules are available for cardiac timing and stress workflows, and DICOM connectivity supports integration with PACS and hospital information systems. The system accepts more than 20 transducer types, including single-crystal phased arrays, high-performance high-frequency linear arrays, wide-angle endocavity probes, and bi-plane transducers, allowing one platform to serve multiple probe-intensive specialties.

The user interface is built around a 21.5-inch high-resolution LED monitor on a Z-arm with flexible positioning, paired with a 14-inch multi-point touchscreen for direct control. A height-adjustable console, five active transducer ports, and dual-battery capability support high-throughput scanning and intra-department mobility. The system is powered by a magnesium alloy chassis designed for a balance of structural rigidity and transportability.

The Acclarix LX6 is built for departments that need a shared-service ultrasound platform—one system capable of covering routine abdominal, obstetrical, small-parts, vascular, and musculoskeletal imaging, while offering optional cardiac, elastography, and contrast capabilities for higher-acuity applications.

Key Features & Benefits

SynSight Synthetic Focused Sonography and TAI Tissue Adaptive Imaging

The SynSight platform uses synthetic focused sonography to generate coherent image data across the field of view, supporting consistent spatial resolution from near field to far field. TAI (Tissue Adaptive Imaging) adjusts image processing based on tissue characteristics, and adaptive Doppler applies similar adaptation to flow imaging. Together with frequency compounding and spatial compounding, these technologies are intended to reduce speckle and artifact while preserving true tissue echoes—supporting image consistency across different body habitus and scanning windows.

Comprehensive Standard Imaging and Measurement Toolkit

The LX6 ships standard with harmonic imaging, eSRI speckle reduction, spectrum enhancement, digital multi-beam forming, trapezoid imaging, extended field of view, B steer, pan zoom, spot zoom, full-screen zoom, auto trace, TDI tissue Doppler, and panorama. These tools support efficient acquisition and on-screen review without requiring additional licenses for core grayscale, color, and spectral Doppler workflows.

Optional Cardiac Package: Auto EF, Auto Strain & WMSI, Stress Echo

For cardiac applications, the LX6 offers optional licenses for Auto EF (automated ejection fraction), Auto Strain & WMSI (wall motion score index), and Stress Echo. Internal and external ECG modules are available to support cardiac timing and stress protocols. These tools are positioned as measurement and workflow aids—they generate quantitative indices for clinician review, not independent diagnostic conclusions.

Elastography and Contrast-Enhanced Imaging Options

The LX6 supports Strain Elastography and Shear Wave Elastography as optional licenses, along with contrast-enhanced imaging and MFI microflow imaging. These modalities are intended for tissue stiffness assessment and microvascular flow visualization in applications where the clinician determines they are appropriate. As with all optional licenses, their availability and clinical claims are subject to local regulatory clearance and labeling.

21.5-Inch LED Monitor with 14-Inch Touchscreen and Z-Arm

The 21.5-inch high-resolution LED monitor is mounted on a Z-arm that supports flexible positioning, and the 14-inch multi-point touchscreen provides direct gesture-based control of imaging parameters and menus. The console height is adjustable, and the control panel can rotate to accommodate different scanning positions—supporting ergonomic use during long scanning sessions and high-throughput clinics.

Five Active Transducer Ports and 20+ Transducer Options

The LX6 provides five active transducer ports, allowing multiple probes to remain connected and switchable during a mixed-specialty workday. The transducer portfolio includes convex arrays (C5-1Q, C5-2Q), linear arrays (L12-5Q, L17-7HQ, L12-4HQ, L30-8XQ), phased arrays (P5-1Q, P7-3Q, SP5-1Q single crystal), endocavity arrays (E10-3HQ, E10-3MQ 3D/4D mechanical), bi-plane (ECL12-3Q), micro-convex (MC8-4Q), and TEE (P7-3MQ). This breadth supports abdominal, obstetrical, vascular, musculoskeletal, and cardiac imaging from a single cart.

DICOM Connectivity and Workflow Integration

The system supports DICOM connectivity for integration with PACS and hospital information systems, alongside USB export and on-board storage. Footswitch controls, barcode scanner compatibility, and report printers are available as options to support hands-free or streamlined workflow in busy departments.

Regulatory Status: NMPA Registration and FDA-Cleared Platform

The Acclarix LX6 holds China NMPA registration, with an approved scope of “clinical ultrasound examination” . EDAN’s FDA 510(k) K192879 covers the Acclarix LX9 Series, with clinical applications spanning abdominal, gynecology, obstetric, cardiac, small parts, urology, musculoskeletal, peripheral vascular, intra-operative, pediatric, neonatal, and adult cephalic imaging. The LX6 model name is not separately listed in K192879; buyers should verify the specific model’s regulatory status and labeling for their market.
