GE Healthcare said it received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510k clearance for its Ultra Edition package on Vivid cardiovascular ultrasound systems.

The healthcare business of General Electric Co. said this includes new features based on artificial intelligence that enable clinicians to acquire faster, more repeatable exams consistently.

"With the Vivid Ultra Edition, we offer AI capabilities that help address healthcare providers' two key challenges in echo exams--how time consuming the exam is and the degree of variability that exists in the quantitative results," said Dagfinn Saetre, general manager of cardiovascular ultrasound at GE Healthcare.
