Zonare ranked top in portable ultrasound systems
16 January 2008 Zonare Medical Systems has been ranked Best in KLAS as
the top hand carried ultrasound (HCU) vendor in the KLAS Top20: Year-End
Report for 2007. KLAS is a research firm specializing in monitoring and
reporting the performance of information technology and medical imaging
vendors in the healthcare field.
"To be further honoured as Best in KLAS for the HCU market, is extremely
gratifying since this is based on our own customers' satisfaction and
feedback," said Donald Southard, president and CEO for Zonare. "Zonare has
been shipping the z.one ultrasound system for just over ten quarters. This
significant recognition helps reconfirm the rapidly expanding acceptance of
our proprietary Zone Sonography technology and Convertible Ultrasound
platform." The 2007 Top20: Year-End report is an effort to study the
impact of hand-carried ultrasound on healthcare facilities and patient care.
With independently reported growth of more than 40% in 2006 alone, HCU is
the fastest growing segment within the overall ultrasound market and one of
the fastest in all diagnostic imaging. Zonare was cited as number one in
image quality, ergonomics and throughput by the KLAS HCU study. "We are
committed to maximizing our customers' investment by providing ongoing
upgrades to optimize clinical data and workflow efficiencies," said Mark
Miller, vice president of sales and marketing for ZONARE. "The KLAS study
provides an excellent measurement of our success in achieving this goal. We
will monitor our progress through this ongoing study as we continue to
improve our technology and services in support of our customers' imaging
needs."
