iOS smart tablet & phone (iOS 8.0 or above)

You can save images and videos directly onto the smart mobile device connected to your SonoMe Vet probes using save buttons in the SonoMe Vet Mobile App. Images are saved as .jpg and videos are saved as .avi.
Where are the images and videos saved?
Images and videos are saved in the stock photo apps of the smart mobile device connected to your SonoMe Vet probes. To review the images and videos, simply open your photo app. You can transfer all saved images from your mobile devices to where you need them via email or messaging.
Do I need ultrasound gel to do scans?
Yes, you will need ultrasound gel to do any scanning. Ultrasound waves have difficulty traveling through the air and ultrasound gel is used to reduce the air between the contact point and the probes, reducing the reflection and allowing for a clearer image. For your convenience, we also offer, fine ultrasound gel.
How do I sterilize and clean the probes?
After each use of the probe, use a lint-free cloth moistened with water or any ultrasound cleaning wipe to remove the ultrasound transmission gel from the probe. Make sure to turn off the probe and wipe the body of the probe down with a sanitized wipe for one (1) minute until visibly clean. We strongly recommend SonoWipes, which are made from non-harsh chemicals that will preserve the lifespan of your valuable investment.
