Sonora醫療系統(Longmont, CO, USA)收到了該公司FirstCall超聲探頭測試設備申請的3項中的2項。

Sonora公司總裁兼首席執行官G.Wayne Moore說：“這些對Sonora公司而言特別重要，因為這是第一次給我們這樣一個年輕的公司授予，這就為我們獨特而獲得極大成功的設備提供了知識產權的保護。”FirstCall探頭測試系統最近在2005年7月美國西雅圖舉行的美國醫學物理學家學會的會議上進行了展示。

Moore先生說：“FirstCall是這種系列產品中第一個超聲測試產品，由Sonora公司設計生產，裝備獨立的或者以醫院為基地的服務人員，提供他們所需要的診斷和修復超聲探頭和系統的工具。多篇由同行專家審核發表的論文，已經揭示了FirstCall的重要性，可以作為任何以醫院為基地的超聲QA/AC項目的一部分。”

Sonora醫療系統是上市后產品、服務和診斷培訓以及核磁共振市場的主要供應商。

Patents Issued on Ultrasound Device
 
Sonora Medical Systems (Longmont, CO, USA) has received the first two of three patents filed for its FirstCall ultrasound probe testing device.

“These patents are especially important to Sonora as they are the first patents awarded to our young company, and provide additional intellectual property protection for our unique and highly successful devices,” stated G. Wayne Moore, president and CEO of Sonora. The FirstCall probe testing system was recently presented at the American Association of Physicists in Medicine meeting held in Seattle (WA, USA) in July 2005.

“FirstCall is the first ultrasound test product in a series of products designed and produced by Sonora to equip independent and hospital-based service personnel with the tools they need to adequately diagnose and repair ultrasound probes and systems. Multiple peer-reviewed published papers have underscored the importance of FirstCall as an integral part of any hospital-based ultrasound QA/AC program,” said Mr. Moore.

Sonora Medical Systems is a leading supplier of after-market products, services, and training to the diagnostic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markets.
