SONO Ultrasound Wipes
Innovating Healthcare Hygiene with Standardization

Arman Semerjian, President and CEO

SONO Ultrasound Wipes is revolutionizing medical equipment care with specialized wipes designed for ultrasound transducers and other delicate medical devices. Offering a complete solution in one wipe, SONO’s wipes clean, disinfect, and sanitize in a single step, tackling pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 and HIV. Trusted by healthcare professionals, SONO’s high-quality products have become the go-to choice in the ultrasound and healthcare communities.

At the core of SONO’s innovation is compatibility testing, a critical yet often overlooked aspect of equipment care.

“For years, healthcare facilities unknowingly used cleaning products that were causing irreparable damage to their ultrasound equipment,” says Arman Semerjian, President and CEO of SONO. “This led to increased repair costs and impacted equipment reliability and patient safety.”

With over 25 years of experience in ultrasound technology, Semerjian and his team are committed to solving this problem. Their research has shaped SONO’s suite of wipes, gels and disinfectants, which are not only effective but safe for sensitive ultrasound equipment, helping hospitals significantly reduce maintenance costs.

The SONO Ultrasound Standardization Program

In 2025, SONO will introduce its Ultrasound Standardization Program, a game-changing initiative that helps healthcare facilities reduce probe repair costs by implementing SONO’s premium consumables and collaborating with companies specializing in high-level disinfection (HLD) for ultrasound probes. This program is designed to seamlessly integrate SONO’s wipes, gels, and a high-level disinfection solution into a facility’s workflow, ensuring maintenance costs are lowered while maintaining the highest level of care.

“Our goal is to help healthcare facilities streamline their consumables and disinfection processes, which will directly reduce the need for expensive probe repairs,” Semerjian explains. “By simply switching to SONO’s products and working with our trusted HLD partners, hospitals can significantly extend the lifespan of their ultrasound probes, reducing repair and replacement costs.”
SONO’s standardization program is particularly advantageous for asset management companies. These organizations, responsible for maintaining medical equipment across multiple facilities, can integrate SONO’s program into their service offerings, providing clients with a comprehensive, cost-effective solution for ultrasound equipment maintenance. By implementing SONO’s consumables and HLD stations, asset management companies can offer facilities a streamlined, predictable approach to managing their ultrasound equipment care, making it easier for hospitals to budget and plan for maintenance needs.

The SONO Ultrasound Standardization Program is about more than just reducing costs—it’s about enhancing patient safety. By using SONO’s specially engineered consumables and high-level disinfection solutions, healthcare facilities ensure their equipment remains in optimal condition, preventing the costly damage caused by incompatible cleaning agents. The results are clear: hospitals that adopt SONO’s program see a reduction in repair costs, an increase in the lifespan of critical ultrasound devices, and a safer environment for patients.

In a recent example, a 400-bed hospital in Southern California standardized its consumables with SONO wipes and gels in 2018. In just a few years, the hospital saw a significant reduction in probe repair costs, which dropped by up to 80 percent. Equipment longevity improved and patient safety was enhanced, all while simplifying the procurement process by consolidating consumables under one trusted brand.

Expanding SONO’s Impact Through Partnerships

SONO’s vision extends beyond ultrasound care to encompass a broader healthcare market. By partnering with asset management companies and high-level disinfection providers, SONO is positioning itself as a leader in equipment care. These partnerships enable SONO to provide hospitals with comprehensive, turnkey solutions for their equipment maintenance, saving money while improving care quality.

With a growing presence in over 10,000 facilities worldwide, SONO is poised to continue expanding its footprint. Through the Ultrasound Standardization Program, the company is helping to drive a transformation in ultrasound maintenance, offering cost predictability, better care, and peace of mind for healthcare providers.
