Five High-Specification Paediatric Cardiac Ultrasound Systems for National Children's Hospital Ireland

The National Children's Hospital Ireland (NCHI) seeks five advanced cardiac ultrasound systems to support comprehensive paediatric echocardiography services for neonatal, paediatric, and adolescent patients. The systems must feature ultra-high specifications including 2D, 3D, and 4D imaging capabilities, advanced probe technologies, and AI-enabled functionality on a modern, scalable platform supporting future upgrades. Equipment must be suitable for use across multiple clinical environments including outpatient departments, intensive care units, cardiac catheterisation theatres, hybrid imaging theatres, open heart surgery theatres, and mobile bedside imaging. The systems must support full adult imaging capabilities alongside paediatric applications, deliver high-quality imaging for rapid identification of cardiac structures, provide precise quantitative data, and seamlessly integrate with PACS systems for efficient data transfer and accessibility. Reliability, consistent performance, and child-friendly operation are essential to minimise patient and staff risk while supporting optimal clinical workflows and treatment decisions in a high-volume cardiology ultrasound imaging service.
