COMBISON 100 Series

Prototype of the COMBISON 100, the worlds first real-time sector scanner, around 1976.

COMBISON 100, serial design as it was presented in 1977 in Vienna at the second three-country meeting for ultrasound.

COMBISON 100-5, 1981 – 1983. The difference to C 100 is that this model has three transducer plugs.

COMBISON 111s, same as C 111 but with three transducer connectors. In this case there is a 35 mm camera for documentation.

Compound systems with compound arm mechanics and examination beds.

COMBISON 300 series

COMBISON 310, a compact and lightweight b/w scanner, presented in 1987. A very successful type for multi-purpose applications.

COMBISON 330, worlds first 3D ultrasound system, presented at the French radiology congress in Paris in late 1989. At that time it utilized mechanical volume scan transducers.

COMBISON 400 Series

COMBISON 410 SAT (satellite) was developed to be connected to a basic C 410 system. This way the examination rooms of a private Ob/Gyn clinic could be separated: One room with the gynecological chair and the C 410 SAT unit, the other room with a bed for Ob exams and the system C 410, connected via cable to the SAT. Advantage: Cost of only one fully equipped ultrasound system (e.g. only one printer, probes are compatible).

COMBISON 410, a mid-range b/w and color system. Launched in 1993. Electronic arrays and mechanical sector and annular arrays possible.

COMBISON 410 S/L, sector and linear ultrasound system,1993.
