Anyone using the sonomed vumax ultrasound?

Our old Aviso is on its last legs and we are looking at a replacement machine. Can anyone recommend purchasing this machine? Has anyone had any bad experiences?

Thanks

Not a big fan of the Sonomed. The software is especially clunky. In 2019 there are really only two players for a quality B scan: Ellex and Quantel. As an echographer I could make the argument for either. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Probe quality, sound quality, software issues, portability.

I would demo those two and make your decision based on your needs and demographics. Personally I went with Ellex as I had a long standing relationship with the original Innovative Imaging. The probe is quality. I could argue for Quantel as well. Their compact Touch is an outstanding value.

Hope this helps

If you are interested in UBM, the Sonomed Vumax is excellent. We are always amazed at the fine detail we are able to get. We can see the zonules beautifullly.

For Bscan, I do agree with Denice. My experience is with Ellex.
