SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 20, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Onda Corporation, the
world's largest manufacturer of measurement instrumentation for medical
ultrasound, announces the delivery of the 100th Acoustic Intensity
Measurement System (AIMS).
AIMS is the de facto standard for research, quality assurance and
regulatory testing of medical ultrasound equipment. It provides precise
six-axis positioning and data acquisition from an acoustic sensor in a
water tank, for accurate measurement of acoustic fields. Introduced in
1992 by NTR, AIMS quickly spread to four continents and has become the
gold standard for measuring ultrasonic fields. This true workhorse of
an acoustics laboratory is found today at most major manufacturers of
medical ultrasound equipment, as well as university laboratories and
government regulatory agencies.
A boon to the medical technology industry, the NTR AIMS Ultrasonic
Scanning System has recently been upgraded with dynamic new version 4.0
software, which makes the job of FDA / IEC compliance testing even
easier.
Dr. Arne Voie, Director of Research at Spencer Technologies in
Seattle Washington, said, "We use the AIMS for production testing for
our Transcranial Doppler devices, which measure bloodflow to the brain.
Its auto-search for peak intensity allows us to easily measure acoustic
parameters for government submissions, and it is a big help in the
process of developing new devices."
"The delivery of unit number 100 is a milestone in the history of
this device because it attests to its value to the users, through its
acceptance in the marketplace. This product is a perfect complement to
the whole Onda Test and Measurement product line," stated Dr. Claudio
Zanelli, CEO of Onda. "Most of all, this success is also a tribute to
the creativity, ingenuity and multifaceted skills of its creator, Mr.
Richard Twomey of NTR," he added.
In addition to Test and Measurement products, which include the
Schlieren OptiSon Beam Analyzer and the industry's most complete line
of hydrophones, Onda offers test and measurement services in beam
characterization, sensitivity calibration and power measurements at its
state of the art laboratories in Sunnyvale, California.
Onda Corporation also offers contract R&D services for customers
seeking to design and build medical devices that use ultrasound. Onda
is sought out by foremost medical device manufacturers to resolve
complex sensing, imaging, or therapeutic problems. Technological
challenges are taken up by a strong team of scientists and engineers
who lay the groundwork, and efficiently implement the solutions. Smart
solutions are the pride of Onda's services to the industry, as the
company's success and experience provide the right answers.
