SonoSite, Inc. (Nasdaq:SONO), the world leader and
specialist in hand-carried ultrasound for the point-of-care,
announced today that the 6 lb. NanoMaxx™ ultrasound system was
selected as a finalist for the prestigious Edison Best New Product
Awards. The awards are inspired by the enormous contributions of
renowned inventor Thomas Edison and honor significant achievements
in new product development, marketing, and innovation.
SonoSite’s NanoMaxx system is an extremely portable,
high-resolution imaging tool that provides point-of-care
visualization to a variety of medical specialties. Empowering
physicians to meet the highest standard of patient care, the
NanoMaxx system targets applications that will improve patient
safety and minimize complications. With one-dial control, advanced
proprietary imaging algorithms, a 20 second boot-up time, and a
rugged form factor (successfully drop-tested from three feet), the
NanoMaxx system is a breakthrough technology that truly meets an
unmet clinical need.
The Edison Award finalists were selected by a rigorous
peer-reviewed voting system, which comprised of an estimated 2,000
members of not-for-profit Marketing Executives Network Group
(MENG), America’s top executives, and academic researchers. The
NanoMaxx system was judged on six main categories that were
inspired by the persistence and excellence personified by Mr.
Edison’s achievements—marketplace innovation, marketplace success,
technological innovation, market structure innovation, societal
impact, and design innovation.
“Innovation is more important now than ever,” said Sarah Miller
Calidicott, great grandniece of Thomas Edison and chair of the
Edison Awards Steering Committee. “The finalists we announced are
the moving parts in the engine of economic growth. They inspire
people to think outside the box and improve the lives of people
around the world.”
The 2010 Edison Awards are sponsored by the Discovery Channel,
Google, The Nielsen Company, and Strategyn, and are associated with
The Thomas Edison Papers at Rutgers University, the State
University of New Jersey.
