Fields that make a portable therapeutic ultrasound machine quote comparable
A portable therapeutic ultrasound machine is separated from a tabletop dual-frequency console by chassis mass, battery or mains language, and how many applicators travel in the same carton. Every quotation must restate frequency in MHz, duty cycle, ERA in cm2, BNR, intensity in W/cm2, electrical supply and the documents that name that catalog number. The buyer still decides whether a rolling cart, extra 3 MHz head, or gel starter kit sits inside the price.
Required
- Intended clinical or lab use and whether the unit rolls between rooms
- 1 MHz and/or 3 MHz named; do not write “ultrasound” alone
- Continuous versus pulsed duty cycle
- ERA in cm2 and applicator diameter for each head
- Quantity and unit (pieces by variant, including extra heads)
- US destination state or postal code and requested timing
- Installation environment: indoor booth, gym-adjacent suite or teaching bench
- Documents to request for the exact model (datasheet, IFU, listing, 510(k) status if needed)
Optional
- Budget, currency and per-unit or total-order basis
- Supplier preference: premium, mid, low cost or undecided
- Battery runtime language versus mains-only chassis
- Timer, intensity lock, and coupling-gel starter quantity
- Sample unit and who pays sample freight
- New versus refurbished condition as an explicit field
Optional fields only narrow the factory list. You can still send a request if budget and preference are blank. Do not treat a portable therapeutic ultrasound machine as interchangeable with a diagnostic handheld scanner because both sit under ultrasound wording. Write whether output is therapeutic W/cm2 with published ERA, not an imaging frame rate. See inquiry options, then send the complete line. The scope article shows how we write the first request.
Selection trade-offs that belong on this sheet include 1 MHz versus 3 MHz heads, continuous versus pulsed output, and new versus refurbished capital. Inspection and warranty paths are clearer on new-only programs. Some buyers accept refurbished units when hours, output calibration and remaining support are written down. This checklist does not pick a clinical protocol; it only keeps those decisions visible so two factory replies can be read on one basis.
