The Sony UP-X898MD is a well known for the compact A6 medical grade black and white digital printer that is compatible with most medical equipment. The printer can accept analogue video as well as digital USB signal inputs.

The printer is designed to be easily integrated into a wide range of compatible medical imaging environments such as digital ultrasound systems, mobile C-arms or cardiac catheterisation laboratory. The high quality thermal print engine is able to produce hard copy prints of still images captured by these systems for use in patient records and referrals. The Sony UP-X898MD also features a USB port to save the printed still images on a flash drive.

Compared to its predecessor Sony UP-897MD, this Sony UP-X898MD offers several operational and ergonomic enhancements while still manage to retain its small footprint and easy integration into medical carts. Usability is also further enhanced by an enlarged LCD display panel and joystick for intuitive menu navigation.
