Clarius Ultrasound App 11.1.0 Pilot
November 27, 2023
Features
- 15+ new advanced cardiac measurements and calculations
- Veterinary Cardiac now supports LA/Ao ratio measurements
- Auto-Preset AI now supports Linear Presets on the PAL HD3
Known Issues
- iOS 13 Wi-Fi Detection Issue: iOS 13 devices can sometimes enter a state which prevents the Clarius App from detecting Wi-Fi networks. This issue stops the App from auto-joining the scanner's Wi-Fi network. When this state is detected, the App will present a warning to the user, who will then need to manually switch to the scanner's Wi-Fi network via the iOS Wi-Fi Settings page.
- Android Video Codec Issue: On certain Android devices, exported cines (via the Exam Page) cannot be played on the device due to the lack of the correct video codec. However, copying the AVI file to another system (e.g., a desktop system) will likely enable the file to be played.

- Fixed a Color / Power Doppler line artifact that would periodically appear.
Changes
- The Wi-Fi status bars no longer show red. They are now just colored with various degrees of green. The red color was meant to convey how much image lag was being encountered by the system. However this led to many false-positive complaints. Perceiving lag is best done by looking at the image itself rather than the Wi-Fi status indicator.
