Description

The SonoSite MicroMaxx Ultrasound User Guide provides information on preparing and using the ultrasound system, on upgrading the system and transducers, and on cleaning and disinfecting the system and transducers.

It also provides references for calculations, system specifications, and additional safety and acoustic output information.

The SonoSite MicroMaxx  Quick Start Cards, located in the back of the user guide, provide an overview of basic system functions. The user guide is designed for a reader familiar with ultrasound techniques; it does not provide training in sonography or clinical practices. Before using the system, you must have ultrasound training.See the applicable SonoSite accessory user guide for information on using accessories and peripherals.

The SonoSite MicroMaxx remains a solid ultrasound machine for those looking for a low-price, durable ultrasound machine for a range of applications, from standard point-of-care to emergency. In terms of the SonoSite MicroMaxx price, this portable ultrasound is also one of the least expensive, yet easy and reliable solutions.

The MicroMaxx is specifically engineered to take the guesswork out of line placements, cannulation, regional anesthesia, and cardiac assessment, all of which contribute to the safety and well-being of your patients.
