Overview

Fast, high quality black & white printing from both analogue and digital imaging inputs onto paper

The UP-971AD is a compact black and white printer designed for use with both analogue and digital radiology imaging systems such as mobile C-arm, ultrasound, cardiac catheterisation laboratory and other compatible medical imaging systems.

Smaller than its predecessor (the UP-970AD), it provides high-quality hard copies of still images captured by the imaging system, that can then be used as reference prints for patient record purposes or referrals. (Please note that images printed from the UP-971AD are not to be used for diagnosis).

Printing options are expanded with a choice of Multi-picture modes for multiple images on a single sheet, plus a panoramic printing capability to produce extra-wide images.

  • Wireless Printing Capability

    By using the optional UPA-WU10* Wireless Print System, you can achieve cable-free connection between the UP-991AD, mobile C-arm and other hospital imaging modalities

Features

  • Accepts both digital and analogue video input signals

    The UP-971AD can receive digital as well as analogue signals, allowing the printer to support both types of C-arm system. It also can receive signals from two different integrated systems – i.e. analogue from a C-arm and digital from an ultrasound system.

  • High quality printing

    Using Sony’s direct thermal printing technology, the UP-971AD delivers photo-quality black & white prints with a high resolution of approximately 325 dpi.

  • High speed printing

    In standard mode, the UP-971AD can deliver a print in approximately 8 seconds.

  • More compact, more visible

    The UP-991AD has a compact design with dimensions of approximately 316 (W) x 132.5 (H) x 265 (D) mm (12 1/2 x 5 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches) – 40mm smaller in depth than its predecessor. At the same time, the size of the LCD display panel is increased, and the control panel features a white LED backlight that offers clear visibility regardless of ambient light levels.

  • Enhanced operability

    All function keys of the UP-971AD are located on the front panel, allowing easy setup and operation when the printer is installed in a medical cart. In addition, separate knobs on the front panel allow easy adjustment of both contrast and brightness and an auto lock function that prevents inadvertent alteration of settings.

  • Multi-picture modes

    As well as printing a single picture, the UP-971AD also offers a choice of two-, four- and six-way split printing of images on a single sheet when connected to an analogue video signal. The ‘Multi’ button on the front panel allows quick switching between ’Single-picture’ and ‘Multi-picture’ modes. With digital input signals, the printer can provide two or four split pictures on one sheet (NB: Multi button does not function with digital input).

  • Panoramic printing

    When connected to a digital signal, the UP-971AD can produce panoramic prints up to a maximum of 600mm long.

  • Visual print quality control

    Optimum print settings can be compared and chosen from a ‘collage’ print of nine pictures with different values for brightness, contrast, tone or sharpness.

  • Quick guide print

    Quick instruction guides for different print operations can be selected, via the front control panel, and printed out for your easy reference so that you do not need to refer to the user manual.*

  • Wireless Printing Capability

    The optional UPA-WU10 Wireless Print System provides a cable-free connection between the UP-991AD, the mobile C-arm and other hospital imaging modalities. This is ideal for busy clinical environments, where modalities are constantly being moved between different examination rooms and ORs. This all-in-one wireless printing solution also resolves the problem of limited space on medical carts, allowing connection between a medical imaging modality and an ‘off-cart’ printer without a lengthy USB cable.

    ** Product availability of the UPA-WU10 may vary according to the sales area. For more information, please contact your nearest Sony sales office or an authorised dealer.

  • Compliance with Medical Safety Standards*

    This device is compliant and certified for IEC 60601-1 and product safety standards in the U.S.A., Canada and Europe.
