FAQ
Can I perform a full eFAST exam with SonoMaxx?
Yes. With models like the MX3Ultra that support multiple probes (linear, phased array, curvilinear), you can perform a complete eFAST—cardiac, chest, abdominal, and pelvic views included.
Are there presets for RUSH or BLUE protocol?
Not labeled as such, but you can easily switch between organ-specific presets like lung, IVC, abdomen, and heart. It’s one-tap access to complete protocol coverage.
Can it be used for cardiac assessment in the ER?
Absolutely. With phased array probes and dedicated cardiac presets, you can assess EF, valves, pericardial effusion, IVC collapsibility, and more—all in real time.
What’s the learning curve for non-radiologists?
Very manageable. The interface is intuitive, and pre-configured emergency presets make it easy to get high-quality images even with basic ultrasound familiarity.
Does it support video capture or just still images?
Both! You can take still images or record short videos of scans in real time—useful for documenting dynamic procedures like muscle movement or vascular flow.
How does SonoMaxx connect to our hospital’s EMR?
Images are saved in DICOM or EPM format with annotations. Once stored on your device, you can transfer files securely via your hospital’s designated PACS or EMR network.
