GE Vivid I BT12

GE Vivid I BT12 pricing depends on whether the system is new or preowned, the probes selected, cardiac software options, cart or portable configuration, warranty/service coverage, delivery, and training. A configured quote should show the complete package - system, probes, software, warranty, and delivery timeline - so your team can compare purchase, lease, finance, trade-in, or rental options.

Yes. Standard Ultrasound can structure a GE Vivid I BT12 quote around purchase, financing, lease, rental, or trade-in options, depending on availability and your workflow. Many buyers compare monthly payment, short-term rental, preowned savings, and trade-in credit before requesting a quote.

Buyers search this two ways. GE writes the model as Vivid i, but listings often capitalize it as Vivid I, and both point to the same portable cardiac unit. BT stands for Breakthrough, GE's software-generation naming, so BT12 is the 2012 revision that followed BT11. The Vivid i shares its platform with the higher Vivid q.

Yes. The GE Vivid I BT12 is a portable cardiovascular ultrasound system designed for echocardiography in cardiology offices, outreach and satellite clinics, hospital bedside settings, operating rooms, and mobile echo services. It supports adult and pediatric cardiac, vascular, and perioperative exams, plus AI-assisted measurement tools such as Auto EF and Tissue Synchronization Imaging when configured with the appropriate software and probes.

The GE Vivid I BT12 is a strong fit when your team needs cardiac imaging in more than one room or location. It is especially relevant for cardiology offices, outreach and satellite clinics, bedside and perioperative settings, and mobile echo services that need Vivid-family cardiac tools in a rugged, laptop-style platform rather than a cart-based or flagship console.

Choose the GE Vivid I BT12 when you need a rugged, laptop-style portable cardiac system on the older RS-probe platform. Consider the newer Vivid IQ for a current portable laptop with updated AI tools, the Vivid e for a lighter, more basic portable, and the Vivid T9 when you want a compact cart-based console with more probe ports. Confirm the exact configuration in your quote.

The GE Vivid I BT12 is an ultra-portable, laptop-style cardiovascular system listed at about 5.8 kg (12.7 lb), which makes it easy to carry between offices, procedure rooms, and bedside or mobile settings. Its lithium-ion battery supports up to about one hour of cordless scan time between charges. Confirm the exact battery and any docking options for your configuration in the quote.

The GE Vivid I BT12 console has one active probe port using GE's RS connector, matching its laptop-style design. Practices typically swap between a phased-array cardiac probe, a vascular linear, and a TEE or endocavity probe as needed rather than keeping several connected at once. Confirm the exact connector and any docking options for your configuration in the quote.

The GE Vivid I BT12 supports a range of GE RS-series transducers depending on configuration. Documented options include the 3S-RS, 6S-RS, 7S-RS, 10S-RS, and 12S-RS phased-array cardiac probes, the 8L-RS, 9L-RS, and 12L-RS linear probes for vascular and small parts, the 4C-RS and 8C-RS convex probes, the e8C-RS endocavity probe, the 6Tc-RS and 9T-RS TEE probes, and a P2D pencil CW probe. Confirm the exact probes in your quote.

Yes, when properly configured, the GE Vivid I BT12 supports advanced cardiac imaging such as Tissue Velocity Imaging, Tissue Synchronization Imaging, tissue tracking, anatomical M-mode, and stress echo, along with TEE and 2D intracardiac echocardiography (ICE). Buyers should confirm the exact probes, software options, and cardiac packages in the quote, especially for TEE, perioperative, or interventional echo workflows.

Available automated tools may include Auto EF for ejection fraction, Tissue Synchronization Imaging for myocardial timing, automated intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement, and Auto CFM, Auto Tissue, and Auto Spectrum Optimization, depending on software configuration. GE says its automation helps reduce keystrokes and standardize measurements. Confirm which options are enabled for your configuration in the quote.

Yes. The GE Vivid I BT12 supports DICOM 3.0 connectivity so studies can flow into PACS and EMR/EHR reporting systems, alongside USB, DVD/CD-RW, and optional wireless LAN export. It also offers EchoPAC compatibility so Vivid exam data can be reviewed and quantified off-cart, with DICOM structured-report transfer into reporting systems. Confirm the exact DICOM services and network setup for your facility in the quote.

Standard Ultrasound describes its GE Vivid I BT12 support as including a full GE warranty, dedicated service coordination, and a direct support line. The specific warranty term is confirmed for the exact new, preowned, probe, and software configuration in the quote.

Standard Ultrasound says it coordinates nationwide delivery, on-site installation, EMR integration, staff training, and ongoing support. Its training page also says GE ultrasound purchases include training options such as in-person, remote, and on-demand education. Your quote should specify delivery timing, installation needs, training format, and support contacts.

Ask Standard Ultrasound to confirm the written trial or return terms for your exact GE Vivid I BT12 configuration before purchase. The product page promotes a 30-day trial, but the return policy says returns generally must be initiated within 30 days, products must be unused and in original packaging, and custom-configured products or special-order probes may be non-returnable.
