FAST Scan Supply Pocket for Veterinary Ultrasound (POCUS Workflow)

The Problem

FAST scans (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) are rapid bedside ultrasound exams done at the patient’s side. AFAST, TFAST, and Vet BLUE protocols all move fast, and the tech performing the exam needs supplies within arm’s reach: coupling gel, syringes, needles, sample tubes, and gauze. For the clinical background on these protocols, see our POCUS equipment checklist.

Most FAST scan machines have open probe slots that sit empty. Meanwhile, supplies end up scattered across the exam table, stuffed in pockets, or left across the room in a drawer. When the tech has to leave the patient’s side to grab a syringe or find the gel bottle, the exam stops until they get back.

The Solution

The FAST Scan Pocket Extension drops into an open probe slot on your FAST scan machine and turns it into a supply pocket. It holds coupling gel bottles, syringes (3 mL, 6 mL, 12 mL), hypodermic needles, sample tubes, alcohol prep pads, and gauze, all on the machine itself.

When the machine rolls to the patient, your supplies come with it. When the exam calls for a sample, the supplies are already on the machine instead of across the room.

Built for repeat-scan workflows: grab the machine, and the pocket extension means the tech has everything for the next bedside check without restocking.
