EXAGO: THE NEW MOBILE ULTRASOUND SCANNER FOR EQUINE VETERINARIANS

Chicago, February 16, 2010
A specialist in ultrasound for over 25 years, French manufacturer ECM has developed EXAGO, a new mobile device. Designed for animal medicine, particularly aimed at horses and pets, it features the latest technology used in the medical sector. Its small size, light weight and extended autonomy make it an ideal tool for field diagnoses, as well as for clinical use.

EXAGO is four to five times lighter than a standard scanner. It weighs 3,250 g (just over 7 lb.), including the battery. Powered by an interchangeable battery, it has a 4.5-hour autonomy. Its 8.4-in. screen and large image size will help users make fast, accurate and reliable diagnoses. Ultrasound images and video sequences may be directly saved to the device’s memory
