SonoSite's hand-carried ultrasound passes 25,000 systems worldwide
7 December 2005
Bothell, Wash. USA. SonoSite, Inc. has announced it has shipped over
25,000 systems worldwide. The company shipped its first system in 1999,
launching a new era in medical imaging where the benefits of high
performance ultrasound could be brought to the point of care, wherever the
patient is located, rather than bringing the patient to the ultrasound
system.
"We thank our customers for helping us reach this milestone event in our
company's history," said Kevin M. Goodwin, SonoSite President and CEO. "By
working together, it has been possible to bring the patient care benefits of
ultrasound visualization to clinical applications across medicine."
In a recent independently conducted survey, commissioned by the company,
customers gave SonoSite products an overall satisfaction rating of 97% based
on image quality, ease of use, durability, reliability and ergonomic
transducer design.
The company was recently awarded the prestigious 2005 Good Design Award
in Japan for the MicroMaxx system, and recognized as the "Fastest Growing
Medical Imaging Company" by Frost and Sullivan.
