Mindray has unveiled TE Air, its first handheld point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) system.

The probe connects to Android and iOS devices wirelessly, allowing users to carry it around in their pockets and conduct exams with one hand.

TE Air is powered by Mindray’s eWave platform and second generation Single Crystal technology for better penetration and more versatility in capturing high-quality images, while using less power. The eWave platform enhances digital and acoustic signals, along with transmission efficiency.

It is designed for higher clinical needs, such as emergency and critical care, and also connects with advanced devices like Mindray’s TEX20 Ultrasound System, eliminating the need for cords and tight spaces.

“Its premium performance and wireless portability allow clinicians to diagnose anytime and anywhere with confidence," said Xujin He, general manager of the company’s medical imaging system business unit, in a statement.

TE Air also integrates with hospital information systems, and saves and shares de-identified data for teaching training, consultation and case-sharing purposes.

The solution’s Air Capsule doubles as a protective case and a portable wireless charger that keeps it running all day. Waterproof and dustproof design makes the system fully immersible for high-level disinfection, suitable for hospital infection control.
