Updated 29 September 2026. Prices are Medical Outfitters ranges for a system delivered, installed and warrantied, quoted individually for every site. Specifications and regulatory references were checked against manufacturer documentation and primary sources. Written by the Medical Outfitters sales and field engineering team.
An ultrasound machine costs about $4,000 for a refurbished handheld unit and up to $200,000 or more for a new premium cart-based system. A refurbished portable ultrasound typically runs $15,000 to $40,000, a new portable $35,000 to $70,000, a refurbished cart-based system $30,000 to $90,000 and a new cart-based system $90,000 to $200,000. Each transducer adds to the total, and a certified refurbished ultrasound saves 40 to 60 per cent against new.
An ultrasound machine uses high-frequency sound waves and a transducer, or probe, to produce real-time images of organs, blood flow and soft tissue, with no radiation. This guide covers what an ultrasound machine costs by class, by model and by manufacturer, what moves the price, what a quote should include, what it costs to run, the transducers that carry most of the value, and how to choose between new and refurbished. Medical Outfitters sells the Fujifilm ARIETTA, Lisendo and Sonosite lines new as an authorized dealer and refurbished systems with tested probes, and services ultrasound systems bought anywhere.

How Much Does an Ultrasound Machine Cost?
Ultrasound machine cost is driven by the class of system, the transducers quoted with it and its condition. The figures below are Medical Outfitters ranges for a system delivered, installed and warrantied. Headline prices published elsewhere are often for the equipment alone, before delivery, installation and current tariffs, so they read lower than a real all-in cost. Every Medical Outfitters system is quoted individually. We do not currently supply handheld scanners, so the handheld row is for comparison.
| Ultrasound type | Refurbished | New | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handheld / point-of-care | $4,000 to $12,000 | $9,000 to $18,000 | Bedside and field use, pocket and tablet units |
| Portable / compact | $15,000 to $40,000 | $35,000 to $70,000 | Clinics, point-of-care, emergency and anaesthesia |
| Cart-based / premium | $30,000 to $90,000 | $90,000 to $200,000 | Hospitals, radiology, cardiology and specialty imaging |
Inside each band the transducer set moves the number more than anything else: a machine quoted with two probes and the same machine quoted with five are not the same purchase. The same question arrives in many forms, ultrasound machine cost, ultrasound machine price, how much does an ultrasound machine cost, sonogram machine cost, sonography machine price, ultrasonography machine price, and the table answers all of them.

Ultrasound Machine Price by Model: Fujifilm ARIETTA, Lisendo and Sonosite
The systems below are the Fujifilm lines we sell new as an authorized dealer, plus the refurbished Sonosite systems past Fujifilm Sonosite end of sale that we still supply and support. Each range is a Medical Outfitters figure for the system delivered, installed and warrantied with a standard probe set; the exact number depends on the transducers, the licensed software and the condition of the unit. New pricing applies to systems sold new; a model shown as refurbished only is past end of sale and not sold new.
| Model | Class | Refurbished | New |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fujifilm Sonosite ZX | Portable point-of-care | $18,000 to $35,000 | $35,000 to $60,000 |
| Fujifilm Sonosite Edge II | Portable point-of-care, rugged | $15,000 to $30,000 | Not sold new (end of sale, manufacturer support to 2030) |
| Fujifilm Sonosite M-Turbo | Portable point-of-care | $15,000 to $25,000 | Not sold new (end of sale, manufacturer support to 2028) |
| Fujifilm ARIETTA 50 | Compact cart, entry general imaging | $20,000 to $35,000 | $40,000 to $60,000 |
| Fujifilm ARIETTA 65 | Compact cart, multi-application | $25,000 to $40,000 | $50,000 to $70,000 |
| Fujifilm ARIETTA 650 DeepInsight | Cart, shared service | $40,000 to $65,000 | $90,000 to $130,000 |
| Fujifilm ARIETTA 750 DeepInsight | Cart, premium radiology | $50,000 to $75,000 | $115,000 to $160,000 |
| Fujifilm ARIETTA 850 DeepInsight | Cart, premium | $60,000 to $90,000 | $145,000 to $200,000 |
| Fujifilm Lisendo 880 | Cart, cardiovascular | $60,000 to $90,000 | $140,000 to $200,000 |
What separates the ARIETTA 650, 750 and 850 in a quote is the beamformer and channel count, the licensed packages (cardiac, elastography, contrast, 3D and 4D) and the probe set, not the year of manufacture. The Lisendo 880 is the cardiac system in the range and is quoted with a phased array probe, the full Doppler suite and a cardiac package, which is why it sits with the premium carts. The Sonosite ZX carries the Sonosite 5-year standard warranty new, and the Edge II and M-Turbo are refurbished systems with manufacturer support still running.
Ultrasound Machine Cost by Manufacturer
GE, Philips, Siemens, Canon, Mindray, Samsung and Fujifilm all hold meaningful share, and the used market is correspondingly deep. Medical Outfitters sells Fujifilm new; the other manufacturers’ systems are refurbished, sourced on request for a specific caseload and probe set, and quoted to the same delivered, installed and warrantied standard. The ranges below are for refurbished cart-based systems with a standard probe set; portable systems from the same manufacturers sit in the portable band.
| Manufacturer | Common platforms | Refurbished (Medical Outfitters) | New |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fujifilm and Sonosite | ARIETTA 50, 65, 650, 750, 850; Lisendo 880; Sonosite ZX, Edge II, M-Turbo | $15,000 to $90,000 by class | $35,000 to $200,000 by class, sold new by us |
| GE HealthCare | Logiq E9 and E10, Voluson E8 and E10, Vivid E9 and E95, Logiq e and Versana (portable) | $35,000 to $90,000 (cart), $15,000 to $40,000 (portable) | Through the OEM; not sold new by us |
| Philips | EPIQ 5 and 7, Affiniti 50 and 70, CX50 (portable) | $30,000 to $90,000 (cart), $15,000 to $40,000 (portable) | Through the OEM; not sold new by us |
| Siemens Healthineers | Acuson S2000 and S3000, Sequoia, Acuson P500 (portable) | $30,000 to $90,000 (cart), $15,000 to $40,000 (portable) | Through the OEM; not sold new by us |
| Canon Medical | Aplio i600, i700 and i800, Xario | $40,000 to $90,000 | Through the OEM; not sold new by us |
| Mindray and Samsung | Mindray Resona 7 and DC-80, Samsung RS80A and HS70A | $30,000 to $70,000 | Through the OEM; not sold new by us |
The point that costs people money is that transducers are specific to the platform. Switching manufacturer means replacing the entire probe set, not just the console, which is the strongest practical argument for staying on one platform once you have invested in probes. Ask for the probe list, the age of each probe and an air scan on the two you will use most before you compare a cheap console with an expensive one.
What Affects the Price of an Ultrasound Machine?
Two systems of the same class and the same age can be tens of thousands apart. These are the things that move an ultrasound machine price, roughly in order of impact.
- Transducers The single biggest factor after the class of system. Probes carry much of the value and a machine quoted with two is not comparable to the same machine quoted with five
- Class of system Handheld, portable and cart-based premium are three different price brackets before anything else
- Licensed software Cardiac packages, elastography, contrast imaging, advanced vascular and 3D or 4D are usually licensed separately and do not always transfer with a used system
- Beamformer and channel count Drives image quality and how well the system handles difficult patients
- Age and platform support Whether the manufacturer still supplies parts and software matters more than the year of manufacture
- Condition of the probes Not the console. Probes are handled all day and they are what fails
Transducers are where ultrasound value actually sits. Quote the machine with the probes you need, or you are not comparing like with like. Our explainer on ultrasound transducer types sets out what each probe does, our guide to how to choose an ultrasound probe works through the decision exam by exam, and the guide to ultrasound probe faults and repair covers how to test one properly, including the air scan that reveals element dropout.
What Is Included in an Ultrasound Machine Price?
Before you purchase an ultrasound machine, compare what is actually in the two quotes. The gap between a cheap one and an expensive one is usually scope rather than the machine. Compare these line by line.
| Line | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Which transducers, and how many | Named, with frequency ranges |
| Licensed software packages | Cardiac, vascular, elastography, 3D or 4D. Confirm they transfer |
| Cart, printer and peripherals | Sometimes separate on used systems |
| Warranty term | And specifically whether probes are covered, because that is what fails |
| Applications training | Especially on cardiac and elastography |
| DICOM connectivity | Whether it will actually talk to your PACS |
| Delivery and setup | Included in every Medical Outfitters quote |
Siting is the easy part on ultrasound. There is no shielding, no special power and no structural work, which is why an ultrasound room is a fraction of the cost of an MRI or CT installation. We handle delivery and logistics including to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
How Much Does a Used or Refurbished Ultrasound Machine Cost?
A refurbished ultrasound machine generally runs 40 to 60 per cent below the new price of the same platform, and the refurbished columns in the tables above are our ranges for a system delivered, installed and warrantied. Ultrasound has a deep used market because the installed base is large and systems are not physically difficult to move.
A new ultrasound offers the latest imaging software and a full manufacturer warranty. A certified refurbished ultrasound delivers comparable diagnostic performance for far less, fully inspected and warrantied, and because ultrasound platforms are durable and transducers can be added later, refurbished systems are an excellent value for clinics and point-of-care programs. Every ultrasound machine for sale on our site lists its configuration in the ultrasound machines category, and we quote transducers as part of the system, not as an extra.
The caution specific to this modality: an old ultrasound machine quoted cheaply often comes with tired probes, and re-probing a system can approach the price of the system. Ask for the probe list, the age of each probe, and an air scan on the two you would use most. Our guide on where to buy a refurbished ultrasound machine covers the checks, and refurbished versus OEM certified explains what the words mean. If you are replacing rather than adding, we also buy used imaging equipment.
What Does It Cost to Run an Ultrasound Machine?
Ultrasound is usually the least expensive major modality to own. There is no magnet, no cryogen, no X-ray tube and no shielded room. But it is not free to run, and the recurring cost sits almost entirely in the probes.
- Probe repair and replacement The dominant cost. Probes are dropped, cables fail and elements drop out
- Service contract Priced against the platform and its age; whether probes are covered, and up to what value, is the clause that decides whether the contract is complete
- Consumables Gel, probe covers, disinfectant and print media
- Cleaning and disinfection compliance Using an agent that is not on the manufacturer approved list is a common cause of probe damage, and it voids cover
- Annual QA Recurring, and expected under accreditation
The AIUM official statements are the reference on cleaning and transducer care. Repairing a probe is usually far cheaper than replacing it, and testing it properly before spending anything is the step most often skipped. Testing is work we do as part of ultrasound service, and we arrange probe repair through our service team.
What Is an Ultrasound Machine, and What Is It Used For?
An ultrasound machine sends high-frequency sound waves into the body through a transducer, then captures the echoes that bounce back to build a real-time image. Because it uses sound instead of radiation, ultrasound is safe for pregnancy and repeat exams. Doppler ultrasound adds the ability to visualize and measure blood flow. Image quality depends on the system, the transducer and the software.
Ultrasound is one of the most versatile and widely used imaging tools, found in:
- OB/GYN Pregnancy and women’s health imaging
- Cardiology (echo) Heart structure and function
- Vascular Blood flow and Doppler studies
- Point-of-care (POCUS) and emergency Rapid bedside assessment
- Musculoskeletal and general Joints, abdomen and guided procedures
Ultrasound uses no ionising radiation, which is why it is the first line in obstetrics and much of point-of-care work. The FDA overview of ultrasound imaging covers the modality and its safety considerations, the NIBIB explainer covers the physics plainly, and the RadiologyInfo page on general ultrasound is published by the ACR and RSNA. If you are weighing modalities rather than systems, our MRI versus CT comparison covers that decision.
What Types of Ultrasound Machine Are There?
| Class | What it is | Who buys it |
|---|---|---|
| Handheld / point-of-care | Pocket and tablet-sized units for bedside and field use. Lowest cost and most portable | Emergency, anaesthesia, primary care and field programs |
| Portable / compact | Laptop-style systems balancing image quality and mobility | Clinics, point-of-care, sports medicine, veterinary |
| Cart-based / premium | Full-featured console systems with the best image quality and the widest transducer support | Hospitals, radiology, cardiology and specialty imaging |
A cart-based premium system is the class where software licences and probe count move the price most. A portable system is bought for ruggedness, boot time and battery life as much as for image refinement, which is why the Sonosite line dominates emergency and anaesthesia work.
Ultrasound Transducers (Probes): The Part That Decides the Price
The transducer, or probe, is the part that touches the patient and largely determines what you can image. Frequency and footprint set the trade-off between depth and resolution: higher frequency gives finer detail but does not penetrate as far.
| Probe type | Typical frequency | Field of view | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curvilinear (convex) | 1 to 6 MHz | Wide, deep sector | Abdominal, obstetric, general |
| Linear | 5 to 18 MHz and higher | Rectangular, shallow | Vascular, musculoskeletal, small parts, nerve blocks, breast, thyroid |
| Phased array (sector) | 1 to 5 MHz | Narrow sector from a small footprint | Cardiac, and abdominal imaging between the ribs |
| Endocavity | 4 to 10 MHz | Tight sector from a small curved face | Transvaginal and transrectal work |
| Transesophageal (TEE) | 3 to 8 MHz | Sector from inside the oesophagus | Cardiac imaging in the operating room and cardiology |
| 3D and 4D volume | 2 to 9 MHz | Volume acquisition | Obstetric and specialist imaging |
Each transducer adds meaningfully to system cost, so probe selection matters. Our explainer on ultrasound transducer types goes through every type with its frequency, footprint and exams, and how to choose an ultrasound probe turns that into a decision by caseload. We test transducers and arrange probe repair through our service team to extend the life of your existing transducers.
Doppler and Imaging Modes: What Do You Actually Need?
Doppler ultrasound measures movement, principally blood flow, by reading the frequency shift of the returning signal. It is the feature most often assumed to be included and most often licensed separately.
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| B-mode | The standard grey scale image |
| M-mode | Motion over time along one line, used in cardiac |
| Colour Doppler | Flow direction and velocity overlaid on the image |
| Power Doppler | More sensitive to slow flow, no direction information |
| Pulsed and continuous wave Doppler | Quantitative velocity measurement |
| Elastography | Tissue stiffness, used in liver and breast work |
| Contrast enhanced ultrasound | Requires both a licence and an agent |
Confirm in writing which modes are licensed on the specific system you are quoted, not which the platform supports. Colour, power, pulsed wave and continuous wave Doppler are different licences on many platforms, and a cardiac or vascular package is what unlocks the measurements a specialty actually bills for.
Sonogram, Sonography or Ultrasonography Machine: Do They Mean the Same?
Yes, and it matters when you compare quotes, because different suppliers list the same equipment under different words.
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Ultrasound machine | The equipment |
| Sonogram machine | Same equipment. A sonogram is the image the machine produces |
| Sonography machine | Same equipment. Sonography is the practice of performing the scan |
| Ultrasonography machine | Same equipment again, the formal clinical term |
| Diagnostic or medical ultrasound machine | The same thing, used to separate clinical systems from industrial or veterinary listings |
| Ultrasound scanning machine | Appears in some listings too, and ultrasound scanning machine price means the same as ultrasound machine cost |
So sonogram machine cost, sonography machine price and ultrasonography machine cost are all the same question as ultrasound machine cost, and the ranges in the tables above answer all of them. What actually changes the number is the transducer set, not the word used in the listing.
Ultrasound Systems We Carry
Medical Outfitters carries new and refurbished Fujifilm ultrasound systems from portable point-of-care to premium cart, as an authorized Fujifilm and Fujifilm Sonosite dealer:
| Line | Systems | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Fujifilm Sonosite (portable, point-of-care) | Sonosite ZX new; refurbished Sonosite Edge II and Sonosite M-Turbo, both past Fujifilm Sonosite end of sale with manufacturer support running to 2030 and 2028 | Emergency, anaesthesia, critical care, vascular access, sports medicine |
| Fujifilm ARIETTA compact | ARIETTA 50 and ARIETTA 65 | Clinics, shared service and outpatient departments |
| Fujifilm ARIETTA premium | ARIETTA 650, ARIETTA 750 and ARIETTA 850 DeepInsight | Radiology, shared service, women’s health and specialty imaging |
| Fujifilm Lisendo (cardiovascular) | Lisendo 880 | Cardiology departments, echo labs and vascular programs |
You may also encounter GE, Philips, Samsung, Canon and Mindray ultrasound systems on the used market. Our team can help you source and compare these as well; the manufacturer table above gives the refurbished ranges. Everything currently available is in the ultrasound machines category.
Which Ultrasound Manufacturer Should You Choose?
The market is broader than in MRI or CT, and the used market is correspondingly deep. GE, Philips, Siemens, Canon, Mindray, Samsung and Fujifilm all hold meaningful share, and probes are not interchangeable between them.
That last point is the one that costs people money. Transducers are specific to the platform, so switching manufacturer means replacing the entire probe set, not just the console. It is the strongest practical argument for staying on one platform once you have invested in probes. Our range is Fujifilm, including the Sonosite point-of-care line, because it covers portable, compact, premium and cardiac work on platforms with current manufacturer support and a probe supply we can stand behind.
Which Ultrasound Machine Suits Which Specialty?
Buy for the caseload, not for the brochure. The probe set and the licensed modes matter far more than the badge.
| Specialty | What to buy |
|---|---|
| General and abdominal | A general purpose ultrasound machine with curvilinear plus linear probes and colour Doppler, on a compact or shared-service cart |
| Obstetrics and gynaecology | Curvilinear plus endocavity, often 3D or 4D |
| Cardiology | Phased array, full Doppler suite, cardiac package. This is a premium cart, not a compact |
| Vascular | Linear plus full Doppler including pulsed wave |
| Musculoskeletal and sports medicine | High frequency linear, often with a hockey stick probe |
| Emergency and point of care | Handheld or portable, ruggedness and boot time matter more than image refinement |
| Anaesthesia and nerve blocks | High frequency linear, needle visualisation software |
| Veterinary | Usually refurbished general systems, curvilinear plus linear |
If you want a system matched to your caseload rather than to a stock list, tell us what you scan and we will tell you what fits.
What Does Ultrasound Service and Probe Repair Involve?
Transducers are the most failure-prone and expensive part of an ultrasound system. Medical Outfitters provides ultrasound service and parts, and we test transducers and arrange probe repair through our service team to keep your systems running and control cost. Response times, probe testing and what a maintenance visit covers are on our ultrasound machine service and probe testing page, and the service and repairs page covers every modality we support.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does an ultrasound machine cost?
- An ultrasound machine costs about $4,000 for a refurbished handheld unit and up to $200,000 or more for a new premium cart-based system. A refurbished portable ultrasound typically runs $15,000 to $40,000, and each transducer adds to the total.
- How much does a Fujifilm ARIETTA 850 cost?
- A new ARIETTA 850 DeepInsight is a Medical Outfitters range of $145,000 to $200,000 delivered, installed and warrantied with a standard probe set; refurbished units run $60,000 to $90,000. The ARIETTA 750 sits at $115,000 to $160,000 new and the ARIETTA 650 at $90,000 to $130,000 new. Probes and licensed packages decide where a quote lands inside the range.
- How much does a Sonosite Edge II or M-Turbo cost?
- Both are past Fujifilm Sonosite end of sale and are supplied refurbished: $15,000 to $30,000 for an Edge II and $15,000 to $25,000 for an M-Turbo, delivered and warrantied with the probes named in the quote. Manufacturer support runs to 2030 for the Edge II and 2028 for the M-Turbo. The Sonosite ZX is the current portable system, $35,000 to $60,000 new.
- How much does a Lisendo 880 cardiac ultrasound cost?
- The Fujifilm Lisendo 880 is a Medical Outfitters range of $140,000 to $200,000 new, quoted with a phased array probe, the full Doppler suite and a cardiac package, and $60,000 to $90,000 refurbished. Cardiac systems sit with the premium carts because of the licensed packages they carry.
- How much does a refurbished GE or Philips ultrasound machine cost?
- Refurbished cart-based systems from GE, Philips, Siemens and Canon are sourced on request and run $30,000 to $90,000 delivered, installed and warrantied depending on platform, probe set and licences; portable systems from the same manufacturers run $15,000 to $40,000. We do not sell these brands new.
- What is the difference between handheld, portable, and cart-based ultrasound?
- Handheld units are pocket-sized for bedside use, portable systems are laptop-style for clinics and POCUS, and cart-based systems are full consoles for hospitals with the best image quality and transducer support.
- What are the types of ultrasound transducers (probes)?
- Common transducers include linear array for shallow structures, curved (convex) array for abdominal and OB, phased array for cardiac, and endocavitary probes for transvaginal or transrectal exams. Transesophageal and 3D or 4D probes cover cardiac and specialist obstetric work.
- What is a Doppler ultrasound?
- Doppler ultrasound is a mode that visualizes and measures blood flow, used for vascular, cardiac, and obstetric studies.
- Is a refurbished ultrasound machine worth it?
- Yes. A certified refurbished ultrasound saves 40 to 60 percent versus new with comparable diagnostic performance, provided it is fully inspected and backed by warranty.
- How much does a sonogram machine cost?
- The same as an ultrasound machine, because they are the same equipment. A sonogram is the image; the machine that produces it is an ultrasound machine. Refurbished handheld systems start around $4,000, portable systems from $15,000 and cart-based premium systems from $30,000.
- How much does a sonography machine cost?
- Sonography machine price follows the same ranges as ultrasound machine cost, because they are the same equipment under a different word. What moves the number inside a band is the transducer set and which software packages are licensed.
- How much does an ultrasonography machine cost?
- Ultrasonography machine cost is the same question as ultrasound machine cost. Refurbished runs from about $4,000 for handheld to $90,000 for cart-based premium, and new from $9,000 to $200,000, depending on class, probes and licensed options.
- What affects the price of an ultrasound machine?
- The transducer set first, then the class of system, then licensed software packages such as cardiac, elastography and 3D or 4D. After that, beamformer and channel count, platform support status, and the condition of the probes rather than the console.
- How many transducers should an ultrasound machine come with?
- As many as your caseload needs, named in the quote with their frequency ranges. A machine quoted with two probes and the same machine quoted with five are not the same purchase, and probes carry much of the value of the system.
- What is the difference between a curvilinear and a linear probe?
- A curvilinear probe uses a lower frequency and a curved face to give a wide, deep field of view, which suits abdominal and obstetric work. A linear probe uses a higher frequency and a flat face for shallow, very high resolution imaging, which suits vascular, musculoskeletal and nerve block work.
- What is a Doppler ultrasound and is it included?
- Doppler measures movement, principally blood flow, from the frequency shift of the returning signal. Colour, power, pulsed wave and continuous wave are different Doppler modes. They are frequently licensed separately, so confirm in writing which modes are enabled on the specific system you are quoted.
- What does it cost to run an ultrasound machine?
- Ultrasound is usually the least expensive major modality to own, because there is no magnet, no cryogen and no shielded room. The recurring cost is dominated by probe repair and replacement, then the service contract, consumables such as gel and probe covers, and annual QA.
- How much does ultrasound probe repair cost?
- It depends on the fault and the probe. Repair is usually far cheaper than replacement, and many probes written off as failed are repairable. Test the probe properly, including an air scan for element dropout, before you spend anything either way.
- Does an ultrasound machine need a special room?
- No. There is no shielding, no special power and no structural work, which is why an ultrasound room costs a fraction of an MRI or CT installation. You need space, a power outlet, network connectivity for DICOM and somewhere to store probes safely.
- How much does a used ultrasound machine cost?
- A refurbished ultrasound machine generally runs 40 to 60 per cent below new on the same platform. The caution specific to ultrasound is that a cheap old machine often comes with tired probes, and re-probing a system can approach the price of the system itself.
- Where can I buy ultrasound equipment?
- From a supplier that services what it sells and quotes the probes as part of the system. Medical Outfitters is a medical imaging equipment supplier based in Miami, Florida. We sell new and refurbished ultrasound machines across the United States, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, and we test transducers and arrange probe repair through our service team.
- Which ultrasound manufacturer is best?
- There is no single best. GE, Philips, Siemens, Canon, Mindray, Samsung and Fujifilm all hold meaningful share. The practical point is that transducers are not interchangeable between manufacturers, so switching platform means replacing the whole probe set, not just the console.
- What ultrasound machine do I need for cardiology?
- A phased array probe, the full Doppler suite including pulsed and continuous wave, and a licensed cardiac package. That is a premium cart rather than a compact system. The Fujifilm Lisendo 880 is the cardiac system in our range.
- What ultrasound machine is best for point of care?
- A handheld or portable system, where ruggedness, boot time and battery matter more than image refinement. The Sonosite ZX and refurbished M-Turbo and Edge II are the portable point-of-care systems we supply.
- Can you use ultrasound on animals?
- Yes. Veterinary practices generally buy refurbished general purpose systems with a curvilinear and a linear probe. The equipment is the same; the probe choice follows the species and the caseload.
- Is ultrasound safe?
- Ultrasound uses sound waves rather than ionising radiation, which is why it is first line in obstetrics and in much point-of-care work. Standard practice is to keep exposure as low as reasonably achievable and to scan only when clinically indicated.
- Do you service ultrasound machines you did not sell?
- Yes, and probe faults are the most common reason facilities call. Whether a probe is worth repairing or replacing depends on the fault, and testing it properly before you spend anything is the step most often skipped.
- Where can I find ultrasound machines for sale?
- Our current ultrasound machines for sale are listed with their configuration in the ultrasound machines category. Each listing shows the class of system, and we quote the probes with it rather than as an extra, because a console without the right transducers is not a working system.
- Can I buy a used ultrasound machine directly?
- Yes. We sell new and refurbished systems directly rather than broking them, and we service what we sell. If you want used ultrasound equipment for sale rather than a new system, tell us the caseload and the budget and we will tell you what is realistic in that range.
