SonoSite, Inc., (Nasdaq:SONO), the world leader in point-of-care,
hand-carried ultrasound, announced today the new M-OB/GYN Office�
ultrasound tool specifically customized for the physician�s office.
The company plans to begin customer shipments this month. Based on
SonoSite�s fourth generation M-Turbo� platform, the M-OB/GYN Office
system delivers an exponential increase in processing power and
superior image clarity for obstetrical and gynecological imaging,
plus seamless connectivity for digital image export in a rugged,
easy to use form factor. It is backed by SonoSite�s 5-year
warranty, which comes standard with purchase. �The M-OB/GYN Office
product is customized for the clinical needs of OB/Gyn
specialists,� said Thomas J. Dugan, Senior Vice President, US Sales
and Marketing. �It combines the high performance of cart-based
systems with the small footprint, speed, flexibility and durability
that SonoSite�s hand-carried ultrasound systems are known for.�
Each M-OB/GYN Office tool comes complete with two transducers - the
C60x/5-2 MHz curved array transducer for abdominal scanning and the
ICTx/8-5 MHz intracavitary curved array transducer for pelvic
imaging. A specialized software package includes Tissue Harmonic
Imaging, color Doppler and advanced OB calculations. Formally
introduced in October 2007 at medical meetings and congresses,
physicians have enthusiastically responded to the following
features of SonoSite�s M-Turbo platform: Outstanding Image Quality
� The M-Turbo system�s advanced processing power is 16x more
powerful than its industry leading MicroMaxx� system, and utilizes
the new, advanced SonoADAPT�, SonoHD�, and SonoMB� technologies for
dramatic improvements in image quality; State-of-the-Art
Connectivity � SonoSite engineers worked with Texas Instruments to
integrate its DaVinci� technology and Microsoft to integrate its
Windows Embedded CE 6.0 operating system for seamless data transfer
and connectivity. Clinicians can export images easily from the new
products to a USB storage device in standard PC formats � MPEG4
(H.264), JPEG, HTML and BMP � for review or storage on PC or Mac�
computers; Designed for Point-of-Care Demands � Like SonoSite�s
earlier products, the M-Turbo system and its transducers are
designed to withstand a 3-foot drop onto a hard surface, have
sealed surfaces that can be wiped down with disinfectant and a
system boot-up within seconds of a cold start; and Landmark
Warranty � The M-Turbo products and transducers carry the same,
unprecedented 5-year warranty that SonoSite introduced with the
launch of the MicroMaxx system in 2005. About SonoSite SonoSite,
