The Plug and Play Ultrasound Probe System delivers all the capabilities of a standard ultrasound probe but without the six-figure price tag, getting ultrasound into more doctors’ offices and reducing pricey specialist visits for expecting moms. Doctors simply download the software to the exam room’s computer, plug in the handheld unit’s USB cable, and scan mom’s belly. The feat was designing motors efficient enough to run on the scant five volts trickling through the USB cables. FDA approval is expected in a few months. Around $5,000; dmsww.com
