FAQ
Can SonoMaxx handheld ultrasounds replace a full-sized ultrasound for lung exams?
SonoMaxx devices deliver high-contrast, high-resolution imaging with adjustable depth, making them highly capable for bedside lung exams (effusions, pneumothorax, edema). You can also perform interventions such as thoracentesis and biopsy using B-mode and puncture assist features, just like you would with a standard console machine.
Can SonoMaxx handheld ultrasounds replace a full-sized ultrasound for lung exams?
For clinicians already familiar with ultrasound, the SonoMaxx interface feels intuitive and allows for immediate use. For newer users, a basic POCUS or lung ultrasound course provides enough foundation to begin bedside exams. As confidence builds, you can gradually explore more advanced applications through guided modules and clinical case reviews.
How will I share scans with radiologists or consulting physicians?
SonoMaxx devices store all captured scans locally on your mobile device in DICOM, JPEG, or MP4 formats, with full annotations. You can instantly send these with consultants via secure email, upload to hospital PACS systems, or share through cloud platforms and telemedicine software.
Are SonoMaxx portable devices COVID-19 friendly?
All SonoMaxx models weigh under 300g, are easy to disinfect, and are designed with sealed IPX67-rated (or higher_ casings. To avoid contamination between patients, you can just wipe the device with a good disinfectant or use disposable probe covers for high-risk environments, making these devices ideal for infection-sensitive settings like COVID-19 wards.
Are SonoMaxx devices suitable for teaching in academic hospitals?
Absolutely. SonoMaxx handheld ultrasounds allow real-time demonstrations, annotated image capture, and video replay, making them ideal for resident instruction and bedside teaching. Educators can store case clips for discussion, and the portable size makes it easy to incorporate hands-on training into both simulation labs and clinical rounds.
