The Mindray DC-40 integrates their latest 64-channel Imaging Engine, which provides support for high-performance hardware such as a 17″ LED monitor (Available up to 19″), an angle-adjustable 10.4″ LED touchscreen, 4 active probe ports, 1TB hard disk, a gel warmer, endocavity transducer holder, 5 cost-effective transducers (3C5A, 7L4A, L7-3, V11-3, P4-2), 1 high density and high frequency linear array transducer (L14-6NE), and 1 functional volume transducer. These transducers effectively cover a wide array of clinical requirements, thanks to their low-to-high bandwidth frequency coverage.

The Mindray DC-40 is an entry level ultrasound, so decreasing the ultrasound learning curve is key. iScanHelper is a tutorial software for a novice user to get used to ultrasound scanning. iScanHelper includes anatomical illustrations, standard ultrasound images, scanning reference pictures and tips on scanning skillfully. The Raw Data function, a physician can use the stored image and cine for re-preprocessing such as optimization, measurement, and adding comments.

The Mindray DC-40 has rich functionality at its price point and product positioning. As a fully- functional ultrasound solution, the Mindray DC-40 provides strong GI features: Natural Touch Elastography for stiffness evaluation, iScape for panoramic imaging with power mode, IMT for Auto IMT measurement, and Smart Bladder for auto liquid volume measurement. The Mindray DC-40 is more powerful in features for primary OBG care with conventional 4D, iLive function for an amazing, realistic view of the fetus, iPage for volume data with multiple parallel 2D images, Smart OB for auto measurement of the most frequently used items, dedicated IVF package and Smart NT for auto measure of NT. The Mindray DC-40 is also a practical adult cardiac solution with CW mode, complete TDI modes and TDI quantification.

For a competitive primary OBG care solution, following the OB/GYN options on the Mindray DC-40 are critical. iLive, the same as Samsung’s Realistic Vue and GE’s HDlive, is a virtualized rendering tool to obtain an amazingly realistic view of the fetus; and the angle of the light source can be adjusted freely. The iPage function provides multiple slices of 2D images from a 3D volume image, similar to CT or MR Imaging. The Smart OB is an auto measurement tool that provides the 5 most frequently used measurements of OB such as BPD/HC/FL/AC/OFD. Lastly, Smart NT is another automatic measurement function that measures and displays max NT result by the industry standard method of “in to in.”

The Mindray M7 is the best selling compact system from Mindray. This system break a bias of Chinese ultrasound systems with great performance, rich feature sets, and available on wide range of applications with numerous transducers.
