Productivity and Comfort

Esaote's focus on the prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders can be experienced through a new design approach incorporating our award-winning appleprobe transducers, and the MyLabRemote, an interface App that allows the MyLab™Eight system to be controlled via smartphone or tablet. The touchscreen-based workflow offers intuitive commands so the system can be easily operated in any scanning condition. Wireless and wired connectivity offer numerous data saving and transmission options.
