Sony UP-X898MD Ultrasound Printer

The UP-X898MD is a compact A6 medical grade black and white digital printer that can accept analogue video as well as PC-friendly digital USB signal inputs.

It’s designed to be integrated into a wide range of compatible medical imaging environments such as digital ultrasound systems, mobile C-arms or cardiac catheterisation laboratory. The high quality thermal print engine can produce hard copy prints of still images captured by these systems for use in patient records and referrals. For even greater convenience, printed still images can also be stored to a connected USB flash drive.

(Please note that images printed from the UP-X898MD are not to be used for diagnosis).

Features

High print quality

Advanced thermal printing technology enables photo-quality black & white prints with a high resolution up to approximately 325 dpi and grey levels up to 256 steps.

Dual cutter configuration

In addition to the conventional upper cutter, a lower cutter has been added to the front door. This enables paper to be cut in a downward direction in addition to an upward direction. This increased flexibility in cutting direction expands location choices for printer installation. For example, even if the printer is installed immediately below the operation console of an ultrasound system, paper can easily be cut from the front. Furthermore, a safety mechanism automatically hides the lower cutter when opening the front panel to change the printing paper.

A6 prints in less than two seconds

While operating in high speed mode, the UP-X898MD can produce A6-size prints in approximately 1.9 seconds (when used with UPP-110HG or UPP-110S print media).

Hybrid operation with analogue and digital inputs

A choice of analogue composite video and PC-friendly digital USB inputs allows flexible use with a wide range of modality devices.
