Micro Power, the global leader in portable power systems for mission-critical equipment, has designed and manufactured a new, custom Li-ion battery pack specifically for SonoSite, Inc.'s latest point-of-care ultrasound systems, the M-Turbo™ hand-carried system and the S Series™ ultrasound tools.

Micro Power's new battery pack not only powers SonoSite's new, fourth generation systems, but it is compatible with existing SonoSite products such as the MicroMaxx® and TITAN® systems. The battery pack provides over 60 Watts of power, 15% more power than current battery packs offered with SonoSite products.

SonoSite's fourth generation product line delivers an exponential increase in processing power for superior image clarity across all exam types at the point of patient care in a rugged, easy to use design. The battery pack was designed to support SonoSite's requirements for uncompromised performance, immediate boot-up from a cold start and extended sessions of use within a lightweight unit.
"Micro Power utilized the latest in battery technology for a portable power solution to support SonoSite's industry-leading systems," said Jeff VanZwol, Marketing Director of Micro Power. "We are proud of our longstanding relationship with SonoSite, as the company created and currently leads the hand-carried ultrasound market."

Micro Power is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registered and ISO 9001:2000 certified supplier of custom battery systems for portable mission-critical equipment. The company serves the portable medical equipment markets, Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) markets and commercial military markets.
