Clarius President and Chief Executive Officer Ohad Arazi said being awarded Premier’s Technology Breakthrough is an important step towards achieving their company mission to put accurate, easy-to-use, and affordable ultrasound into the hands of every clinician. He adds that point-of-care ultrasound is a critical tool for achieving the quadruple aim in healthcare and Clarius is the ideal portable device for rapid diagnoses and safe ultrasound-guided treatments.
According to him, the company looks forward to supporting Premier members in providing the best patient experience, improving health outcomes, enhancing clinician satisfaction, and ultimately reducing healthcare costs.

Also, orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Alan Hirahara said that in addition to the actual quality of the image, you’re getting it wirelessly. He continues “For me, being able to bring it into the operating room and pop it into a bag that’s sterile is so much better than having a cord that could be prone to contaminating the surgical field. And you can place your monitor anywhere because you’re not tethered by a cord.”
