Just announced:  We have five brand new Gen1 IBEX PRO/c ultrasounds left on the shelf. These are the very last of this model, and we’re ready to clear them out to make space for the current products. Hardwired to the eCLi4 curved rectal probe, the PRO/c was designed to be the system of choice for chute-side beef repro, but it also excels in mixed large animal applications including small ruminant and swine, and is an excellent choice for our elk and bison customers as well! The PRO/c is compatible with the optional Insite3 LED headset for added mobility. While this small supply lasts, take 40% off and pay just $8400 for an absolute legend of an ultrasound with a full year of factory warranty coverage! To claim one for yourself, email info@eimedical.com or call 866.365.6596.

Did you know that you can add wireless streaming to any one of the IBEX^® PRO or LITE models? This is a great tool for sharing your image in real time with clients, students, and trainees!

E.I. Medical is renowned for manufacturing the toughest ultrasounds for field use. You may know about our third-party testing on drops, water resistance, temperature extremes, and more. You may even know that our connectors and hinges are sealed to keep moisture out!

But while a lot of engineering has gone into these features, your equipment will serve you best if you do your part, too. Our service department sees a lot of interesting things come across their desks, and many of the electronic issues seen can be easily avoided with a little preventative care. This includes daily inspection of the equipment, and most importantly, a little routine cleaning and maintenance.

Shoot a video testimonial on your phone, GoPro or whatever, telling us how you use your IBEX equipment! Upload it here [up to 100MB]—we'll send a hat and t-shirt to the first 20.

A lot has changed since I wrote a blog post for EI Medical in 2011! I have a new last name, two little kids and I no longer use clippers when scanning calf lungs. I am still scanning calf lungs with my Ibex PRO/r and teaching veterinarians and veterinary students the technique. Out on farm and in research, we are now all using one scoring system developed by Dr. Terri Ollivett from University of Wisconsin.

Theresa L. Ollivett, DVM, PhD, DACVIM, Assistant Professor of Food Animal Production Medicine at the University of Wisconsin, held her annual lung ultrasound lab recently.

Dr. Ollivett is known for her research into bovine lung health and advocates the use of on-farm ultrasonography to detect bovine respiratory disease. Weaning calves with clean lungs is one of her passions.

She shared a few images from her lab with us.
