Business Wire
SonoSite, Inc. (Nasdaq:SONO), the world leader and
specialist in hand-carried ultrasound for point-of-care medicine,
announced today the first remote control for veterinary ultrasound
and a new transducer for reproductive and musculoskeletal
applications in horses and other large animals. The company has
begun customer shipments of the new transducer and plans to begin
shipping the SonoRemote� control in the spring.
The new L52x/10-5 MHz transducer is the eighth transducer to
join SonoSite�s suite of veterinary probes and is compatible with
both SonoSite�s M-Turbo� and S-VetMed� ultrasound products. For
ultimate exam convenience and efficiency, the SonoRemote control is
based on Bluetooth� wireless technology, can be voice or touch
activated and can adjust system controls from within a radius of 10
meters.
�A wireless remote control is a ground-breaking innovation for
veterinarian ultrasonography. The freedom that SonoSite�s remote
control will provide during an equine ultrasound exam will
significantly improve clinical efficiency and safety,� said Diane
Isbell, DVM, Livermore, California. �With the SonoRemote control, I
will be able to maintain a safe working distance between my
patient, the ultrasound system and me while efficiently working
through my examination.�
Based on veterinarian input, the robust, ergonomically designed
L52x intracavitary transducer provides high-resolution imaging and
superior image quality, enabling the examination of fine ovarian
and uterine structures, as well as the lower lumbar and medial to
lateral view of the animal�s hip. Built for durability, the
technologically advanced transducer features a unique cable jacket
built from material engineered to withstand even the harshest of
environments. To enhance productivity, the L52x was designed to fit
comfortably and naturally in the hand of a veterinarian. With a
textured surface, veterinarians can easily grip the probe and keep
a firm grasp, without the need for added pressure.
SonoSite offers a 2-year warranty on the new veterinary L52x
transducer coupled with its industry-leading 5-year warranty on the
ultrasound systems and all other veterinary transducers. Vet
Imaging and Aloka, Inc., SonoSite�s partners for the veterinary
medicine market in North America, are distributors of the new
transducer and remote control.
