SonoSite Begins Customer Shipments of Ultrasound Remote Control

Business Wire
SonoSite, Inc. (Nasdaq:SONO), the world leader and
specialist in hand-carried ultrasound for point-of-care medicine,
announced today that it has begun customer shipments of the
SonoRemote� Control, a compact voice or touch activated solution
for adjusting ultrasound controls at a distance when using SonoSite
M-Turbo� or S Series� systems.
Approximately the size of an iPhone� and using Bluetooth�
technology, the SonoRemote Control is capable of adjusting
essential system parameters � Depth, Gain, Freeze and Save � within
10 meters of the ultrasound system. With voice activation or when
used in a sterile sheath, the SonoSite remote control eliminates
the need to break the sterile field during interventional
procedures. And with a tactile reference keypad the user does not
have to look at the remote to identify which button to press�even
the touchpad has been designed with increased workflow in mind.
Dr. Ben DuBois, MD, orthopedic shoulder specialist in San Diego,
explains how the remote can help in his practice: �With any
ultrasound guided needle placement for joint injections I am using
both hands and am unable to save or freeze the ultrasound image
without having a medical assistant in the room to help. However,
tying up my assistant just to push a button is not an efficient use
of their time; it slows down patient flow, and limits the number of
patients we can see in a day. With the remote I would be able to do
the injection and run the ultrasound system myself without having
to waste anyone�s time.�
The SonoRemote Control is programmable to any voice or language,
has been drop tested from 3 feet and with its sealed keypad can be
safely and easily cleaned with hospital grade disinfectant,
important for infection control.
