/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mindray Medical International Limited
(NYSE:MR), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of
medical devices worldwide, today announced the introduction of a
significant new upgrade for the company's popular M5 ultrasound
system at the 95th Annual Meeting of the Radiology Society of North
America being held in Chicago, November 29 - December 4, 2009. The
upgrade includes automatic presets for each new exam and the
addition of another state-of-the-art transducer. "This new upgrade
is the third significant upgrade for the M5 platform," said Michael
Thompson, vice president of U.S. ultrasound sales for Mindray. "It
provides several key performance improvements in addition to
ease-of-use advances for this highly reliable system." The M5
upgrade features factory-installed exam set-ups for difficult adult
abdominal and pediatric abdominal imaging. Further enhancements
have also been made to pulse wave (PW) Doppler and low-flow color
performance (sensitivity) on linear transducers for vascular
applications. The new iZoom(TM) feature increases image size which
is especially helpful in the operating room or for a special
procedures suite where the clinician needs to view the screen
across a sterile field, procedure table. Additional connectivity
improvements have been added which support seamless file transfers.
"We also have added another new transducer option to the M5,
enabling a wider range of imaging applications," said Thompson.
"This option offers high frequency imaging for both human medicine
and veterinary care needs." The new L14-6 transducer is designed to
provide superb imaging of nerves, musculoskeletal, vascular,
pediatric abdomens, superficial structures, biopsy guidance and
venous access. The probe is ideal for small animal abdominal exams
and equine tendon imaging. "I have been using the Mindray M5
portable ultrasound machine for more than a year now," said Cody
Startin, RDMS, owner of Advanced Ultrasound located in Arizona. "I
own a small ultrasound business and scan over 100 patients per
month so I need a highly reliable system which the M5 has been. The
image quality, penetration and color detection on the M5 competes
with some of the best full size machines that I've tested and the
ability to upgrade the system provides a substantial
performance-to-value ratio for my business." In addition to the M5
upgrade, Mindray is also showcasing the new DC-7 unit, a premium
color Doppler system introduced this fall. The DC-7 is a high
performance ultrasound system integrating cutting-edge technologies
and superb image quality, along with a host of proven value-added
capabilities designed to provide greater clinical information from
every scan. The new system offers real-time 4D imaging for greater
detail, iClear(TM) speckle noise reduction, iScape(TM) wide field
of view imaging and phase inversion tissue harmonic imaging on all
probes. Many automatic features are available including automatic
calculations offering LV border detection and IMT, plus automatic
image optimization with iTouch(TM) technology using just one
button. Mindray's iStation(TM) provides a powerful patient
information platform in addition to user defined packages and exam
specific reports. Finally, a user friendly, high resolution LCD
monitor and touch screen offers greater diagnostic confidence and
operator ease-of-use. About Mindray We are a leading developer,
