A next-generation in point-of-care (POC) compact ultrasound system is effective, versatile, and mobile: it is designed to provide physicians fast, excellent quality imaging for immediate clinical management and decision-making.

The introduction of point-of-care ultrasound into the frontline of emergency and critical care medicine has a significant impact in that it brings the service to the patient. Mindray’s (Shenzhen, China) M9 ultrasound system is intuitive and easy to use. It also offers expanded flexibility, including broad general imaging and comprehensive cardiac applications appropriate for the fast-paced and demanding emergency department environment. Supported by sophisticated signal processing and newly designed adaptive algorithms, the system provides ease to use, allowing both novice and experienced clinicians to make informed decisions.

Furthermore, the M9’s single crystal transducer with 3T technology provides deep penetration and sharp image quality. This unique technology also supports the M9’s substantially improved cardiac tissue tracking accuracy and effectiveness for real-time quantitative evaluation of myocardial function. In the M9, enhanced technology is combined with enhanced mobility; there is a seven-second start-up from standby and greater than three hours of battery life, all within a slim profile ergonomic cart.

“Mindray is already a leader in point-of-care ultrasound solutions, but the introduction of the M9 responds to the demands of physicians at the most challenging points, in the emergency department and critical care,” said George Solomon, president of Mindray North America. “The integrated package with its premium image quality has received very positive feedback from physicians, as it helps ensure diagnostic confidence while also containing costs.”

The M9’s other features include: Echo Boost cardiac image optimization; high dynamic range color flow Doppler; a full range of transducers including transesophageal echocardiography (TEE); 15.6-inch high resolution 1920 x 1080 high-definition (HD) monitor; a rugged magnesium alloy case with spill-resistant keyboard; and lastly, standard built-in Wi-Fi.

Mindray is a worldwide developer, manufacturer, and supplier of medical devices in three business segments: patient monitoring and life support, medical imaging systems, and in-vitro diagnostic products.
