HP Sonos 5500 Ultrasound Machine

The Hewlett Packard SONOS 5500 is one of the most popular and well-known echo ultrasounds on the market. Its classic touchscreen user interface is very popular because of its excellent ergonomics and simplified controls. Prices in recent years have made this excellent cardiovascular ultrasound within reach for private practices and small clinics alike. All revisions of software can meet the demands of echo and vascular research labs, as well as high-end research facilities. Talk to us about the types of echoes you'll be doing and we'll make a recommendation for price and software revision for your needs.

The Hewlett Packard SONOS 5500 color flow features finer details that enhance atrial and vessel filling and flow contouring. Its image quality includes reduced clutter, cleaner 2-D and B-mode images, high frame rate imaging, high frame rate review, and uniform resolution.
