Operates on MAC or PC

Includes Wireless Data Transfer and DICOM Compatibility
BOTHELL, Wash.--(Business Wire)--
SonoSite, Inc. (NASDAQ:SONO), the world leader and specialist in hand-carried
and point-of-care ultrasound, announced today the introduction of SonoSite
Workflow Solutions (SWS), a suite of specialized tools designed to streamline
exam management at the departmental level by giving physicians the ability to
browse, manage and store ultrasound studies and generate reports suitable for
billing and credentialing.

"SonoSite Workflow Solutions will be indispensable for any department performing
quality assurance, and will save time for departments wanting control over their
ultrasound studies," said Dr. Alfredo Sabbaj, MD, MA, Assistant Professor,
Department of Emergency Medicine, Oregon Health and Science University in
Portland. "With the SWS program I can review and archive studies, credential and
generate reports all in one place rather than having to use multiple programs in
sequence or go through another department`s software to do the same thing. Also
for teaching hospitals, SWS allows residents to get feedback on their studies
faster, and the more feedback they get the quicker they learn."

Patient information and ultrasound images can be quickly transferred to the SWS
program over either a wireless or Ethernet connection and automatically
pre-populate patient information forms built into SWS. The SWS program will
support any number of user accounts within a department and is capable of
importing ultrasound studies from multiple SonoSite systems. Simplified system
administration also provides flexibility for managing users and audit logging
user activity. The software operates on both PC and Macintosh platforms and is
server based-accessed within the department`s firewall via laptop or desktop
using the local area network (LAN) available to specific departments. For more
