The TE Air reportedly combines enhanced point-of-care ultrasound imaging with an array of practical benefits for radiologists.
Emphasizing quality imaging and a variety of features to promote efficient diagnosis, Mindray has launched the handheld ultrasound system TE Air.
Utilizing second-generation single crystal technology and the company’s eWave platform, the TE Air offers crisp, high quality ultrasound images, according to Mindray. The company said the device’s comprehensive imaging modes and dedicated exam presets facilitate efficiency and accurate decision-making.
The company noted the TE Air facilitates radiology workflow with seamless integration into hospital information systems and can be connected with other systems such as the Mindray TEX20 Ultrasound System to provide premium functionality.
“Built from Mindray’s leading technologies, the TE Air has made a historic breakthrough in the image quality of handheld ultrasound, integrating professional-level image quality into a small and light wireless system,” noted Xujin He, general manager of the Medical Imaging System Business Unit at Mindray. “Its premium performance and wireless portability allow clinicians to diagnose anytime and anywhere with confidence.”
