SonoSite, Inc. (Nasdaq:SONO), the world leader in hand-carried
ultrasound, announced today that it has introduced a new high-frequency
transducer, powerful enhancements for wireless connectivity and
security, and additional capabilities that further add to the MicroMaxx®
system’s performance in ultra-portable
examinations throughout the hospital. Current customers can upgrade
existing MicroMaxx systems to the new capabilities via compact flash
cards. SonoSite plans to begin customer shipments in December.
“This is SonoSite’s
fourth major upgrade to the MicroMaxx system since its introduction in
June 2005,” said Thomas J. Dugan, Senior Vice
President for Marketing and U.S. Sales. “The
rapid execution of so many valuable enhancements in a short time period
demonstrates the MicroMaxx system’s
exceptional flexibility and underscores its importance in point-of-care
diagnostics and therapeutic care across the clinical spectrum.”
Highlights of the new performance upgrade include:
New C11e/8-5 transducer – A new
micro-convex array, this slender, elegant transducer provides
excellent imaging for pediatric and neonatal studies and enhanced
image quality for line placement and nerve visualization.
Extended performance of the P17/5-1 phased array transducer –
This phased array transducer’s design is
optimal for cardiac imaging, transcranial imaging and abdominal
imaging, particularly in difficult to image patients. Its 2D imaging
performance has been improved with clutter reduction,
second-generation harmonics, and increased imaging penetration to 35
centimeters. The increased depth allows clinicians to address a
broader patient population.
Enhanced Wireless Connectivity – The
MicroMaxx system now features an 80211b/g card, which is the industry
standard for enterprise applications and features enhanced security.
“The new wireless capability supports the
clinician’s frequent need to be nomadic by
enhancing the value of the MicroMaxx system’s
portability,” added Mr. Dugan. “With
this new feature, clinicians can conduct imaging studies at the patient’s
bedside, transfer the results wirelessly, and be certain that the data
are saved in a central server with enhanced security.”
SonoSite is showcasing the new MicroMaxx system capabilities at the 92nd
Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) being
held in Chicago from November 26 to December 1 in Booth #4948 in the
south hall of McCormick Place.
About the MicroMaxx System
Weighing less than 8 pounds, the portability and high performance of the
MicroMaxx system is rapidly changing patient assessment at the point of
care throughout the hospital. A 5-year warranty on the system and most
of its transducers is a standard feature, which dramatically lowers the
cost of ownership in an industry that typically charges 10 –
15% of a product’s purchase price in annual
service contracts. SonoSite’s unprecedented
warranty is a reflection of the understanding that an ultra-portable
ultrasound system must be extremely durable compared to conventional
products.
