I've used the Koala lately, and we used to use the Intran Plus. I LIKE this unit better. The tip is smaller, and the catheter more pliable. I like the zero-ing method better, but be sure you have enough cables.

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.
