SONOVISTA G40 High-Performance Full-Digital Color Doppler
Ultrasound Diagnostic System Joins the SONOVISTA Lineup

(Tokyo, June 30, 2005) - Mochida Siemens Medical Systems Co., Ltd. (President: Shuichi Ishii) is set to release its SONOVISTA G40 on July 1st. This high-performance full-digital color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic system was designed for use in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as internal and abdominal medicine and surgery.

The SONOVISTA G40 is a high-performance color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic system that enables precise and reliable diagnosis with its high-resolution imaging, made possible by its superior all-digital processing and cutting-edge Siemens technologies such as phase inversion THI and Hanafy Lens.

Its newly developed transducer allows users to select the optimal frequency according to specific areas and sites to be diagnosed, thus allowing multiple uses with one transducer. Mochida Siemens' dedication to usability is reflected in its ergonomic design and scalable future expandability.

Ultrasound imaging equipment transforms the reflection intensity of ultrasound into electric signals, producing clear diagnostic images. Mochida Siemens Medical Systems' ultrasound systems have long been the overwhelmingly preferred choice of obstetrics and gynecology professionals who depend on such devices for perinatal management. It is already apparent that, with its usability and ultrafine images, the SONOVISTA G40 will become another acclaimed addition to the lineup, not only in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology but also in many others, such as internal medicine, circulation, and in surgery for the diagnosis of abdominal and heart diseases.

The SONOVISTA G40 is the first product to come from the recent integration of the ultrasound device divisions of both Mochida Medical Systems and Siemens Asahi Meditec. This new product – a result of the fusion of Mochida's long-renowned experience and Siemens' cutting-edge technologies – is certain to impress and satisfy demanding professionals.
