Direct Medical Systems to Incorporate the FlipStart PC in Worlds Smallest Ultrasound System
Direct Medical Systems LLC (http://www.dmsww.com/) has announced that it has teamed with FlipStart Labs (www.flipstart.com) to deliver the world's smallest ultrasound system. The InNovaSound System combines a compact, USB-compatible scanning probe with the super compact FlipStart PC to provide a truly portable ultrasound device that is uniquely suited for health care services such as emergency first responders and general practice physicians. The U.S. market for diagnostic imaging systems is thought to be equal to the total market for the rest of the world - approximately $16 billion in 2005.
The InNovaSound System represents major progress and potential to improve the quality of physician examinations, which has been virtually unchanged for 200 years. The InNovaSound System can provide truly portable ultrasound to the patients' bedside. InNovaSound can also be used to obtain more information before ordering other diagnostic tests, thus reducing the number of unnecessary tests that results in decreased anxiety and better outcomes for patients, as well as increased workflow efficiency and system utilization in imaging departments.
"We are very pleased to have the FlipStart PC as part of the InNovaSound System. The FlipStart PC is an extremely high quality and durable device, better than any mini PC available today." said Mark Falkowski, president and chief executive officer of Direct Medical Systems. "FlipStart's portability and connectivity are especially suited for medical professionals who need high quality, low cost diagnostic imaging products that travel with them."
The FlipStart PC offers everything professionals expect from their laptops but with a form factor that's proven to work for mobile applications. The familiar clamshell design of the FlipStart PC is packed with innovative features that deliver unprecedented flexibility and productivity.
