/PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Mindray Medical International
Limited (NYSE: MR), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer
of medical devices worldwide, today announced the introduction of
the company's new DP-50 ultrasound system in the United States. The black and white
portable unit provides outstanding imaging quality in a compact
system and is designed for use in numerous specialty markets. With
DP-50's launch, Mindray has expanded the compact solutions to its
product portfolio.
"The DP-50 unit is extremely versatile, offering advanced
imaging technologies to improve diagnostic confidence," said
Michael Thompson, vice president of
Sales and Marketing, Mindray North America. "Today's healthcare
environment demands innovative technology to reach precise
diagnoses quickly and thus patients can begin treatment faster.
This new system augments clinical utility while enhancing patient
throughput."
The DP-50 system is highly suited for a wide array of clinical
applications including fetal, abdominal, pediatric, small organ,
neonatal/adult cephalic, musculo-skeletal, cardiac (pediatric) and
peripheral vascular exams. It provides a wealth of advanced imaging
features. These include dynamic beam formation, iBeam™ spatial
compounding, iClear™ speckle reduction, tissue harmonic and tissue
specific imaging.
"With its unique ergonomic and lightweight form, the DP-50 is
designed for use in any location," said Thompson. "As with all of
our products, we strive to bring the greatest economic and clinical
value to the medical professionals. The DP-50 is feature-rich while
offering the image quality that customers would expect from
Mindray."
Several of the features offered on the DP-50 system are found on
premium systems. iZoom™ enables the user to view images from a
longer distance by increasing the size of the clinical image
display area on the screen and iTouch™ provides a single button
image optimization. iStation™ offers onboard reporting while IMT
gives the user auto-measurement of the carotid intimae-thickness.
The system has an on-board imaging archive for more than 100,000
still images. With a 15-inch, high definition LCD tilt display, the
battery life is approximately 120 minutes.
Advanced transducer technology supports optimized images for
different body types and target organs. The DP-50 transducer family
includes highly sensitive wideband transducers with up to four
imaging frequencies in each transducer. Imaging can be done from
two to ten MHz at up to a 140 degree scanning angle. The system is
also upgradeable as new advances occur.
"Mindray is committed to supporting excellence in patient care
and a significant return on investment for clinicians," said
Thompson. "To this end, the DP-50 system's architecture is designed
to accommodate future upgrades as imaging technology advances,
which will provide tremendous economic value for any clinical
practice."
