Velacur is a portable ultrasonic elastography machine used to assess and monitor chronic liver diseases. The device is comprised of a control unit, activation unit, and ultrasound probe. A carrying case is also provided.
An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) devices, which may include rechargeable batteries, designed to measure liver stiffness/ultrasonic attenuation of tissues based on transient elastography for the evaluation/diagnosis of hepatic disease (e.g., liver fibrosis/steatosis); it may additionally be intended to measure spleen stiffness as an adjunct evaluation. It is typically used during diagnosis of chronic liver conditions such as viral hepatits, alcoholic hepatitis, and biliary disease, or for post-transplant evaluation. It consists of both a generator with dedicated software and a noninvasive applicator(s).
