Sonix Q+ Ultrasound Systems Easy to Operate

PEABODY, Mass., 2014-05-30 16:15 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and
aviation security technology, today introduced its Sonix Q+ line of ultrasound
systems with Quantum(tm) Plus Imaging Technology and a touch screen interface
that 
can be customized to meet the specific workflow needs of physicians. The new
ultrasound systems will be available in various configurations for
point-of-care and general imaging applications, and will begin shipping in June
2014. 

'Our new Sonix Q+ systems reflect the combined strengths of our global Analogic
Ultrasound product development team, bringing together talent from our design
centers in Denmark, Vancouver, State College, Pa., and Boston,' said Farley
Peechatka, senior vice president and general manager of Ultrasound Business at
Analogic. 'We've designed this value-oriented line of products in response to
market demand for high-performance, reliable, affordable systems that offer
innovative features and excellent image quality. Since we've built these
systems to last, we have strengthened our warranty offerings.' 

Analogic's Sonix Q+ product line consists of the SonixTouch(r), SonixOne and
SonixMDP/SP/OP ultrasound systems. The SonixTouch Q+ is a cart-based system
with a touch screen interface and a height-adjustable, high-resolution 19'
monitor. Designed for point-of-care applications including anesthesia,
emergency medicine, musculoskeletal and pain management, the system also
features options for reproductive medicine. 

The SonixOne Q+ system is a compact system featuring a full touch screen
interface that can be placed on a cart, mounted on a wall or placed on any flat
surface. The system is easy to learn and operate, and is ideal for
musculoskeletal imaging with an attractive entry price with one transducer. 

The company's Sonix Q+ line also includes a cart-based platform, the SonixMDP
Q+, with a more traditional console and a touch screen control panel for
general imaging applications. This premium option supports cardiac imaging with
ECG, comprehensive cardiac calculations and reports, and specialized exams
including OB/GYN, musculoskeletal, vascular and general imaging procedures.
Entry-level options for this platform include the SonixSP Q+ and SonixOP Q+
systems, which offer a subset of the premium features. 

'We believe our Sonix Q+ line will set a new level of performance for
value-oriented ultrasound systems around the world,' Peechatka continued. 'The
convergence of our engineering resources and technologies from our global
design and manufacturing centers has produced systems that change the value
equation for clinicians. No other company offers the flexibility, innovation
and image quality of these systems for a comparable price.'
