TEX20/TEX20 Pro/TEX20S/TEX20T/TEX20 Exp/TEX20 Elite Diagnostic Ultrasound System, TEX10/ TEX10 Pro/TEX10S/TEX10T/TEX10 Exp/TEX10 Elite/TE X/TE X Lite Diagnostic Ultrasound System

The TEX series Diagnostic Ultrasound System is designed for comprehensive, multi-modal ultrasonic imaging across diverse clinical applications and patient populations, including sensitive groups like neonates and for specialized exams such as cardiac and ophthalmic. Utilizing established ultrasound principles like Doppler, B-mode, and M-mode, along with advanced features such as elastography, contrast imaging, and AI-assisted nerve visualization, the system aims to provide high-quality diagnostic information while enhancing clinical workflow through mobile design and data integration capabilities.

The TEX series Diagnostic Ultrasound System, encompassing models like TEX20 and TEX10 and their variants, is a general-purpose, mobile, software-controlled ultrasonic diagnostic system. It is designed to acquire and display ultrasound images for a wide range of patient populations, including adults, pregnant women, pediatric patients, and neonates. Its intended applications are diverse, covering ophthalmic, fetal, abdominal, intra-operative (abdominal, thoracic, vascular), laparoscopic, pediatric, small organ (such as breast, thyroid, testes), neonatal and adult cephalic, trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, musculo-skeletal, thoracic/pleural, adult and pediatric cardiac, trans-esophageal cardiac, peripheral vessel, and urology examinations; the system facilitates diagnosis by enabling the measurement of anatomical structures and providing analysis packages. The system operates using various imaging modes, including B-mode, M-mode, Pulsed Wave Doppler (PWD), Continuous Wave Doppler (CWD), Color Doppler, Amplitude Doppler, and combined modes. Advanced imaging capabilities include Tissue Harmonic Imaging, Smart3D, iScape View (panoramic imaging), Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI), Color M-mode, Strain Elastography, and Contrast Imaging for Left Ventricular Opacification (LVO) and liver assessment. The TEX series incorporates several new hardware and software enhancements such as wireless charging options (Air Charge Module, Air Probe Charging Holder), voice control (iVocal Plus), data integration with bedside devices (X-Link), and an AI-based feature for nerve visualization (Smart Nerve). Non-clinical testing confirmed its safety and performance characteristics, including acoustic output, biocompatibility, and adherence to electrical, mechanical, and usability standards.
