As a mobile, easy-to-handle and battery-operated device, FibroScan® 530 Compact extends availability for patients without access to centers with FibroScan® capabilities.   FibroScan® is supported by over 1,300 peer-reviewed publications and is the reference for the AASLD, EASL-ALEH, and WHO guidelines liver disease. FibroScan® products, including the new FibroScan® models, are designed with several quality control systems to support consistency of scan results, irrespective of operator or location. This delivers comparability of results across locations, FibroScan® models, and operators. This consistency provides better information to support patient management, as well as a tool for tracking of results, publishing data and clinical research. Echosens is taking the opportunity to provide ELPA (European Liver Patients Association) with its first FibroScan® 530 Compact at its booth (2200H) during EASL 2016 (the International Liver Congress™) on 14th April at 3:30pm. This mobile device is intended to be used for non-profit liver screening campaigns throughout Europe.
