Aloka Co., Ltd., (Tokyo, Japan) announced that its new, full featured, compact ultrasound system, the ProSound Alpha 6, will make its U.S. debut at the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) annual clinical meeting, May 15-19, 2010, in San Francisco (CA, USA). The ProSound Alpha 6 combines unprecedented performance and ease of use with an award winning ergonomic design for the ob/gyn, general imaging, and urology office markets.

Building upon the technology of the high performance ProSound Alpha 10 and Alpha 7, the ProSound Alpha 6’s high power processor allows a number of different imaging modes previously seen only in high-end systems.

This latest addition to the ProSound Alpha series was awarded the 2010 International Forum (iF) Product Design Award and was designed to streamline workflow and to be user- and patient-friendly. Its compact, ergonomic design boasts a large, programmable touch screen for quick access to frequently used controls. The ProSound Alpha 6 is mobile, economic, and environmentally friendly, with reduced power consumption.

“We are extremely proud to launch the ProSound Alpha 6 in the United States,” said David Famiglietti, chief operating officer for Aloka America, Ltd. “The compact and versatile ProSound Alpha 6, with its high performance/cost ratio, is a sound economic investment for your practice.”

Aloka’s ProSound Alpha series has a well-established reputation in large facilities and hospital imaging departments worldwide. The systems are fully functional in all work environments from research to ultrasound departments to private practices.

Shipments of the new ProSound Alpha 6 began in the United States in May 2010.
