Sonomed E-Z Scan AB5500+ — New Open Box A/B-Scan Ophthalmic Ultrasound
The Sonomed E-Z Scan AB5500+ is a portable, computer-controlled ophthalmic ultrasound system that combines a contact A-scan for axial-length biometry with a motor-driven B-scan for imaging the eye and orbit. Both channels use 10 MHz transducers, and the color touch screen is the primary control, so the whole exam runs from the unit itself.
Because the Sonomed E-Z Scan AB5500+ covers two jobs in one instrument, a practice can measure axial length for IOL power calculation and image the posterior segment when the view is blocked by a dense cataract or vitreous hemorrhage, without buying two devices. This new open-box unit ships with both probes, the foot pedal and a printer.
Ultrasound remains the fallback when optical biometry cannot get a reading: a study indexed by the National Library of Medicine compared optical biometers and immersion ultrasound in dense cataracts, where optical devices can fail to measure some eyes.
Why Practices Choose the Sonomed E-Z Scan AB5500+
- A-scan and B-scan in one unit — axial-length biometry and diagnostic B-scan imaging from a single instrument, with both probes included.
- Works where optical biometry cannot — contact A-scan measures eyes with dense cataract or other media opacity.
- 10 MHz transducers — a contact A-scan probe for biometry and a motor-driven B-scan probe with an angle encoder for eye and orbit imaging.
- IOL power workflow — axial-length measurement for determining IOL power before cataract surgery.
- Touch-screen control — settings, measurements and images are handled directly on the unit’s screen.
- Foot pedal capture — freeze scans hands-free while the probe stays on the eye.
- Printed records — a printer is included for hard-copy results in the chart.

Clinical Applications
- Axial-length measurement and IOL power calculation for cataract surgery planning.
- Biometry in dense-cataract eyes where optical biometers cannot obtain a reading.
- B-scan imaging of the posterior segment behind opaque media, such as vitreous hemorrhage or a mature cataract.
- Evaluation of suspected retinal detachment, intraocular masses and foreign bodies.
- Orbital imaging as part of the diagnostic work-up.
Who This Is For
- Cataract and comprehensive ophthalmology practices that need dependable ultrasound biometry.
- Surgery centers that want an ultrasound backup alongside an optical biometer.
- Practices adding diagnostic B-scan capability without buying a separate imaging system.
- Satellite clinics that need a portable A/B-scan unit.
