Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency 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 first pocket ultrasound imaging device providing physicians and clinical personnel with earlier, faster and more accurate clinical assessments at the point-of-care.
Benefits
• Cost-effective, real-time imaging that supports your financial strategies while improving quality of care
• Ultra-portable means you are never without information
• Improves diagnostic confidence 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 it’s needed.
Obstetrics
The ACUSON P10 system gives physicians and midwives a quick and comprehensive overview on fetal positioning, anatomy, heart beat, fluid levels and placenta location during labor or routine office visits.
Reduced Environmental Footprint
With less mass, fewer components, better
energy efficiency 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.

Siemens considers environmental aspects in all phases
of the product lifecycle, including material supply,
production/delivery, use/maintenance and end-of-life.
Our product design procedure fulfills the requirements
of IEC60601-1-9:2007 “Environmental product design
for medical electrical equipment”.
This standard supports the effort to improve the
environmental performance of our products.
Environmental Product Design
Material supply From natural resources to delivery of semi-finished products
Production/delivery From production of components to operation startup by the customer
Use/maintenance Includes daily use by our customers as well as maintenance
End-of-life From disassembly at the customer site, through material and energy recycling

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 product’s 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 system’s 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 product’s 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.
