Advanced Imaging in a Laptop-Style Chassis
The Acclarix AX8 packs an advanced imaging platform into a compact system built for clinics and hospitals working in tight spaces — cutting-edge performance at a price that makes sense for a point-of-care budget.
Everything the AX8 does is aimed at getting a diagnostic image faster and holding onto it: adaptive processing that tunes itself to the tissue in front of the probe, one-key optimization across B, color and PW modes, and automated measurements that take the repetitive work out of a cardiac or lung study.
- SynSight™ Zone Sonography — synthetic focused beam-forming for precise diagnostics
- TAI Tissue Adaptive Imaging — optimizes automatically based on tissue type
- Harmonic imaging, frequency and spatial compounding, eSRI speckle reduction
- Spectrum enhancement, trapezoid imaging, extended FOV and needle visualization
- Full-field dynamic focus — no physical focus adjustment required
- Built-in Wi-Fi for data sharing and access
Superior Imaging with SynSight Zone Sonography
Advanced beam-forming and processing algorithms reshape how the image is built, improving what you see at every depth.
- Sharp contrast & lateral resolution — clearer tissue differentiation
- Consistent uniformity — even image quality across the entire field
- Full-field dynamic focus — no manual focus adjustments mid-exam
- TAI Tissue Adaptive Imaging — the system retunes as the tissue changes
SynSight™ and TAI work together so the sonographer spends the exam scanning instead of adjusting the machine.

Workflow Optimization & Automated Measurement
One-key optimization for B-mode, color and PW mode lets users streamline imaging without hunting through menus, and the automated packages handle the measurements that eat the most time.
Auto EF — automated ejection fraction calculation
Auto Strain — streamlined myocardial strain assessment
Auto B-Line — automated lung B-line counting
One-key optimization — B, color and PW tuned in a single press
Shorter scan times, fewer keystrokes, and measurements that are reproducible between operators.
Built for Efficiency, Comfort and Durability
At 5.8 kg with two batteries installed, the AX8 moves between rooms and sites easily — and the chassis is built for the cleaning routine that comes with it.
- Lightweight magnalium alloy body — top-tier durability in a compact shell
- Seamless waterproof control panel — easy to clean and disinfect
- Intuitive touchpad with gesture control and a customizable touch screen
- E-Bank battery system — up to 8 hours of continuous scanning
- 7-second standby resume, approximately 35 seconds from a full cold start
- Built-in Wi-Fi for seamless data sharing and access
- Optional cart for easy transport between exams
