Embedded software means solid reliability. The MicroMaxxTM system software is hard-wired and purposebuilt for faster boot-up times, faster digital image processing and the ability to run for a long time. Power is effi ciently used, extending battery life for use wherever needed.

Chip FusionTM Technology. SonoSite’s proprietary Chip Fusion Technology enables advanced, cart-based image resolution in a hand-carried unit by integrating digital signal processing and multiple ultrasound functions into a custom ASIC microchip. The result: unprecedented performance without the size, weight and cost of conventional systems.

Big-machine performance in a hand-carried unit. MicroMaxx’s purpose-built software and proprietary ASIC design yield high-quality images with speed and reliability while effi ciently operating on either AC or battery power.

Durability. SonoSite products and technology deliver proven reliability and durability in conventional medical settings as well as some far more challenging environments, such as supporting rescue operations following natural disasters. Extensive quality controls such as drop testing ensure that SonoSite products continue to set the industry standard for both reliability and durability

Clinical utility. The MicroMaxx system comes with a wide range of transducers for multiple clinical applications. With MicroMaxx, SonoSite is extending the capabilities of handcarried systems by adding high-performance features such as high-frequency linear and multi-plane transesophageal imaging.

The MicroMaxx system also includes SonoCalcTM IMT, proprietary edge-detection software that enables clinicians to quickly and easily measure intima-media thickness of the carotid artery for assessment of arterial wall disease progression and cardiovascular risk.
