Office ultrasound

Lease on our Siemens Prima office ultrasound is running out. Looks like Siemens has a new entry-level machine called Siemens Adara which has replaced Prima. The Aloka SSD-3500 is a new machine that looks good, has color, and is cheaper than Siemens Adara. Phillips (formerly ATL) has the Ultramark 400C which is supposedly an updated version. We have a 4-year-old ATL Ultramark 400C at our hospital which has beautiful vaginal probe images but takes forever to power up and also a long time to switch probes.

If anyone uses the Siemens Adara or Aloka SSD-3500 would be very interested in your experience with it. Any other suggestions for a good office ultrasound?

Thanks!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
