What You Can Do with SonoMaxx Ultrasounds in Neonatal Practice
Visualize filler depth, detect vascular structures, and ensure symmetry during treatments—all with handheld clarity and control.
Neonatal care demands speed, precision, and minimal disturbance. SonoMaxx handheld ultrasound provides this care with real-time imaging and minimizes stress.
- Assess lung aeration to guide surfactant therapy or monitor respiratory distress without repeated X-rays.
- Detect pneumothorax or pleural effusion immediately during emergencies.
- Evaluate brain ventricles for intraventricular hemorrhage in preterms.
- Guide vascular access with precision, reducing procedural attempts.
- Monitor PDA closure and cardiac function with high-resolution Doppler.
- Keep imaging non-invasive and NICU-friendly—even during resuscitation.
Handheld ultrasound devices trusted by neonatologists, NICU teams, and pediatric intensivists worldwide.

FAQ
Can SonoMaxx handheld ultrasound be used on extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants?
Yes. Our high-frequency linear probes are capable of imaging fragile, low-body-mass neonates. You can also choose models with a smaller footprint for even more focused scanning.
How effective is handheld ultrasound for neonatal lung imaging?
Lung ultrasound with SonoMaxx devices can help you identify RDS, TTN, and pneumothorax with high sensitivity, supporting treatment decisions like surfactant administration. Just make sure you adjust to the right depth for smaller bodies.
Can I perform functional echocardiography with SOnoMaxx handheld devices?
Yes. With the phased array probe and Doppler features, you can perform a full assessment of ductus arteriosus flow, ventricular function, and pericardial effusion. You’ll also get calibrated tools to measure cardiac function.
Do SonoMaxx ultrasounds support needle-guidance for line placement?
Yes. With linear probes and a built-in needle guidance, you can easily use it for central and peripheral line placement in neonates and reduce the number of attempts.
How will I store and share images securely?
All scans are stored directly on your connected iOS or Android device via secure Wi-Fi, in EMR-ready format. From there, you can easily export them to PACS, DICOM, or cloud systems.
Are SonoMaxx ultrasounds easy to clean and disinfect in NICU settings?
Yes. All SonoMaxx devices are built with high-grade materials, have a compact design, and smooth, sealed surfaces. You can disinfect them quickly between patients using any standard medical-grade wipe.
