About Zino Ultrasound Device
Zino is an ultrasound system designed for medical use. Zino is compact and low in cost, which makes the device available to buyers with smaller budgets. The height adjustment mechanism was removed to reduce cost, and the trolley follows average body dimensions so that many users are served. An arm mechanism allows the monitor to be set at different viewing angles. The transducers are placed at the back of the probe for easier handling and a neater appearance. Improved air circulation allows continuous use without pauses for cooling.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Since the trolley's height adjustment mechanism has been removed to save costs, 50th percentile dimension is used to let more users use the device. The probe's transducers were moved to the back, making it easier to manage while giving it a neater look. While the combination of physical control panel with the modern look trolley make zino aesthetic design distinctive among othes, it follows form following function principal. Different monitor viewing angles possible thanks to the arm mechanism.

- Design Challenge
- There were three main challenges with this project. The first was to design a smaller stationary ultrasound that is strong enough to resist damage in a medical setting while still being small enough to reduce packaging and shipping costs. Air circulation was the second. Zino no longer needs to be turned off to cool down because its air circulation has improved, and it can now be used continuously. The other was to create a strong body structure that will save cost on maintenance.
- Inspiration
- Zino is an ultrasound system designed on the orders of Med Fanavaran Plus. The idea was to create a low-cost device that could be used by professionals in addition to cost savings, which made the device available to a target group with less financial strength, the design team aimed to add value by aesthetic innovation.
- Project Duration
- the project started in August 2020 in Tehran and finished in June 2021 in Tehran
- Operation Flow
- Zino's control panel is for people who prefer and are more confident with a physical control panel. To get to the optimal setting possible, the buttons are set based on user interviews, user observation, the intensity of use, and a review of existing samples.
