"The NanoMaxx tool is introduced at a price point that allows high quality ultrasound to be available to a much broader range of clinicians and applications, particularly visualization of procedures which saves time and money and improves patient safety," said Mr. Graham D. Cox, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Distribution.
"The NanoMaxx system offers our gold standard durability and has a two-hour battery life along with high level image quality. A fluid-resistant user interface makes the system easy to clean and disinfect, helping to address the growing concern over infection control. Designed and manufactured at SonoSite's headquarters in Bothell, Washington, USA, the NanoMaxx system and its transducers again offer our industry-leading 5-year warranty to deliver the lowest cost of ownership in ultrasound," Mr. Cox said.
""The Indian healthcare scenario is changing dramatically and the NanoMaxx is part of our continuing efforts to make ultrasound a more affordable and useful tool in the world of medicine," said Mr. Pavan Behl, General Manager, SonoSite India Private Limited.
One Button Control for Increased Efficiency
The new ultra portable and one button design of the NanoMaxx system makes high quality ultrasound available to a much broader range of clinicians. The system incorporates SonoSite's advanced proprietary imaging algorithms, including SonoMBT and SonoAdaptT to deliver superior image quality in a lightweight, rugged form factor.
With a touch screen that responds easily to the tap of a finger, and one button optimization, clinicians can readily acquire high resolution images to increase clinical productivity at the point-of-care. A system boot-up time of less than 20 seconds and long battery life further enhance workflow when using the NanoMaxx system.
Reduce Length of Stay. Improve Patient Safety.
Designed to help hospitals meet the new standards of patient care, the NanoMaxx is perfect for diagnostic imaging, clinical assessment and procedural guidance at the hospital bedside and in the physician's office. The ultimate tool for reducing patient safety risks and healthcare delivery costs, the use of bedside ultrasound is proven to increase the accuracy of interventional procedures and the use of ultrasound guidance is now recommended by two US government-based agencies1 and three US medical societies 3
At introduction, the NanoMaxx tool is available with a complement of five transducers to support a wide range of examinations and procedures including thoracic assessment for pathology, vascular access, needle aspirations and injections, as well as abdominal, cardiac, nerve, OB/Gyn, musculoskeletal, small parts and vascular scanning. The clinical capabilities of the NanoMaxx will help eliminate the risk and cost of transporting patients to the imaging lab for many examinations and procedures.
Mount it. Carry it. Or Use it on a Stand.
The small footprint of the system, along with its space-saving solutions, enables seamless integration with a multitude of exam-room configurations. For convenience and flexibility, the system can be wall mounted, placed on an exam table with kickstand attached, or used from a highly maneuverable stand. Physicians can easily carry the NanoMaxx tool from room-to-room, to a satellite office, to the operating room or to a field site for immediate use.
Drop Tested 3 Feet
The NanoMaxx system's highly integrated architecture and ruggedized design, including the industry's first elastomeric bumper for extra durability, plus magnesium outer shell, allows it to be used in the most demanding and austere environments. Proving its reliability, the NanoMaxx system and its transducers successfully passed SonoSite's standard three foot durability drop test.
In addition, to further reduce the risk of infection, the NanoMaxx system's fluid-resistant user interface makes the system easy to clean and disinfect, helping to address the growing concern over infection control in the medical community.
Affordable and Easily Accessible with Web-Based Purchasing Program
Affordably priced, the NanoMaxx system and its transducers include SonoSite's industry-leading 5-year warranty, to provide the lowest cost of ownership in ultrasound.
