The JC03-60W is Texua's 3 MHz ultrasound therapy console for clinics treating superficial soft tissue. The machine has a 60 W power output, with an effective intensity peak of 1 W/cm², and the output is set on a ten-step energy scale; the switch modes are automatic and continuous, with a duty cycle from 20 to 80 per cent. The beam is described as collimated, with a non-uniformity coefficient of 6, and applicator surface temperature is stated as not exceeding 45 °C. A 10.4-inch screen carries the controls. It offers only one frequency, and no timer range, pulse repetition rate, or calibration interval.

What sets this model apart is how many applicators it has. Two builds are photographed on the sheet, one with a single applicator and output socket, the other with two of each and a screen split into two columns, and nothing in the text ties either picture to the 60 W rating. Every acoustic figure on the sheet belongs to a treatment head, so a second head brings its own radiating area and non-uniformity figure, its own output to verify and its own contact surface to clean between patients.

Supply is rated at 220 V and 50 Hz or 110 V and 60 Hz. Maximum penetration depth is published as 12 cm, which needs explaining at a frequency absorbed within the first couple of centimetres. The radiating figure of 4.5 is printed in centimetres although it describes an area, and net mass is printed as 2.6 g.

The console measures 370 by 285 by 320 mm and ships in a 5.6 kg carton. It is listed on Medigear.uk for UK business buyers. Before the order, the seller should provide the applicator count, each head's size and radiating area, and the device class with its declaration of conformity.

Three megahertz is absorbed quickly, which makes the JC03-60W a console for structures within about two centimetres of the skin. The lateral elbow is the clearest case. The common extensor origin sits shallow over bone, and tennis elbow has mixed trial evidence for ultrasound and no single established treatment, so when it is used, it usually accompanies a loading programme; wrist tendons, the patellar tendon, and superficial ligaments around the knee fall in the same depth band.

Dose is where the ceiling matters. Electrotherapy dosing tables put the intensity needed at an acute lesion at around 0.1 to 0.3 W/cm², rising to 0.5 to 1.0 W/cm² for chronic tissue, and part of what leaves the head is absorbed before it arrives. A 1 W/cm² maximum comfortably covers acute and sub-acute work. Chronic presentations receive a full dose only at the most superficial sites.

Hands raise the question the sheet leaves open. A 4.5 cm² face is broad against a finger or the base of the thumb, where full contact is hard to hold, and poor coupling reflects energy into the head. A second, smaller applicator would change that. The two-head photograph shows a second applicator, but its size and radiating area are not published. Hand therapy services should have the answer in writing before assuming the console suits them.

NICE advises against ultrasound for low back pain and for osteoarthritis, so the indication list worth agreeing is narrower than a general musculoskeletal caseload. Trust physiotherapy departments, private clinics and sports medicine providers each buy through their own routes. Whichever route applies, the manufacturer provides the conformity documentation through the seller.

An intensity ceiling at a third of the permitted maximum

IEC 60601-2-5 allows effective intensity up to 3 W/cm², and this console stops at 1 W/cm². For superficial work that gives up very little, because chronic-band doses at shallow sites fall inside it. It also removes the top two-thirds of the permitted range, where over-delivery would do the most harm. The same ceiling does hold back chronic work below the first centimetre or so, which three megahertz reaches poorly in any case.

Beam uniformity stated on the sheet.

A non-uniformity coefficient of 6 is published, inside the threshold of 8 that IEC 61689 treats as unsafe. That gives a physicist or service engineer a figure to test the head against, and it tells the clinician how much care the beam needs. At 6, slow and continuous movement of the applicator is not optional. If a second head is supplied, it needs a figure of its own.

Pulsed and continuous dosing from one console

The duty cycle adjusts from 20 to 80 per cent for non-thermal work, and continuous output covers heating. Both ends of the usual dosing tables are therefore available without an accessory or a second machine. The pulse repetition rate is not published, so ask for it where local protocols specify one.

Ten energy steps that are quick to set

A one-to-ten scale is fast to adjust between patients and simple to record. The limit is precision, since the sheet does not say what intensity each step delivers. Ask for the mapping in W/cm², then keep a copy with the console so the dose recorded in the notes means something.

A screen readable from the couch side

At 10.4 inches, the screen is legible from beside the couch, which is where the clinician stands for the whole treatment. In the two-head photograph,h the display splits into two columns, one per channel. If that is the build supplied, the settings for both channels stay visible at once.

One frequency, one fewer decision

With 3 MHz as the only setting, nobody can treat a superficial tendon at the wrong frequency by mistake; a setup has one fewer step to check. The limit is depth, covered under Clinical Applications. Services that also treat deep structures will need a second unit that offers 1 MHz.

A collimated beam for a defined field

The beam is described as collimated, which keeps the energy in a column beneath the applicator face. That suits the small, well-defined targets that three megahertz is chosen for, such as a tendon origin or a superficial ligament.

A footprint that fits a trolley top

The console measures 370 by 285 mm across its base and stands 320 mm tall, small enough for the top shelf of a treatment trolley or the corner of a bench. It can sit at the couch rather than across the room, keeping the screen in the clinician's line of sight.

3 MHz single-frequency operation

Three megahertz is the only published frequency. It concentrates absorption in the first two centimetres or so of tissue, which is what defines the console's clinical range.

Effective intensity up to 1 W/cm²

The maximum effective intensity is 1 W/cm², a third of the ceiling that IEC 60601-2-5 permits. How that maximum is distributed across the energy steps is not published.

Energy scale from 1 to 10

Output is selected in ten steps. The sheet provides no intensity for each step, so the seller should provide the mapping before the first treatment is recorded.

Duty cycle of 20 to 80 per cent

Pulsing is adjustable from 20 to 80 per cent, covering the low-average doses used for acute and sub-acute tissue.

Automatic and continuous switching

The sheet lists automatic and continuous as its two switch modes. Continuous is self-explanatory, while automatic is not defined and is most likely the pulsed setting, so ask the seller to describe it.

Collimated beam

The beam type is given as collimated, keeping energy concentrated in a column beneath the head.

Beam non-uniformity coefficient of 6

Peak intensity in the beam can reach about six times the spatial average, a figure within the IEC 61689 threshold of 8.

Radiating figure of 4.5

Effective radiating area is printed as 4.5 centimetres. An area should be expressed in square centimetres, so the unit and measurement method both need confirmation against IEC 61689.

Surface temperature ceiling of 45 °C

The applicator surface is stated not to exceed 45 °C. No test condition is given, which matters because BS EN 60601-2-5 applies 43 °C to one test and 50 °C to another.

A 12 cm depth figure to query

Maximum penetration depth is published as 12 cm. At three megahertz, that cannot be a working treatment depth, so ask what the figure measures and how it was obtained.

10.4-inch control screen

The controls sit on a 10.4-inch screen. The sheet does not state whether it is touch-operated, which languages it offers, or whether treatment settings can be stored.

Machine power of 60 W

The sheet gives 60 W for this model and does not define the figure. With acoustic output capped near 4.5 W by the intensity and radiating area, it describes the console rather than the treatment.

Two photographed builds

One photograph shows a single applicator with one output socket; the other shows two applicators, two sockets and a two-column screen. The text does not say which build carries the 60 W rating.

Footprint of 370 × 285 mm, 320 mm tall

Console dimensions are 370 × 285 × 320 mm. The net mass is listed as 2.6 g, which cannot be right for a mains console of this size, so the seller needs to provide a usable figure.

Carton of 556 × 462 × 290 mm at 5.6 kg

The console ships in a carton of approximately 0.074 cubic metres weighing 5.6 kg, with no contents listed.

Supply at 220 V or 110 V

Rated supply is 220 V at 50 Hz or 110 V at 60 Hz. For the UK, specify the 220 V build and a UK plug.

What the sheet leaves out

No calibration interval, output accuracy tolerance, timer range, pulse repetition rate, head size, accessory list, cleaning guidance, warranty or service terms appear. It also shows no device class, marking, body number, MHRA registration, or UK Responsible Person.

As a console for superficial tissue, the JC03-60W is specified by what a clinician needs to set: dose frequency, an intensity ceiling, a duty cycle range, beam uniformity, and a surface temperature limit. The gap is structural. One specification sits above two photographed builds, and whether this model carries one applicator or two decides how many heads need published figures, output checks and cleaning between patients. That belongs in the written quotation, together with the radiating area in square centimetres, the test condition behind the 45 °C figure and the device class. Medigear.uk lists the JC03-60W for UK business buyers, and you can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, staff familiarisation, and service cover with the order. The declaration of conformity and any certificates are issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller with the quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The sheet does not say. Its two photographs show a console with one applicator and one output socket, and a console with two of each, both sitting above a single specification. Nothing ties either picture to the 60 W rating, so the head count, the size of each head and the contents of the carton all need to appear in the written quotation. Until that document exists, treat the photographs as illustrations of the range.

Very little directly. Acoustic output is set by effective intensity and radiating area, and at 1 W/cm² across 4.5 cm² the ceiling works out at around 4.5 W, regardless of what the machine power figure says. The 60 W rating describes the console itself, most plausibly its electrical rating, but the sheet does not define it. Ask the seller what the figure measures and whether anything a patient receives changes with it.

Three megahertz is the only frequency, so the working range is superficial. Electrotherapy references commonly put the boundary at around two centimetres, with 1 MHz chosen for anything deeper, and 3 MHz is typically used to heat tissue 0.8 to 1.6 cm down. However,h one heating study recorded meaningful warming at 2.5 cm. The published maximum penetration depth of 12 cm cannot describe a treatment depth at this frequency, so ask what was measured and how. For deeper targets such as large muscle bellies or the gluteal tendons, specify a console that offers 1 MHz.

That depends on how it was measured, and the sheet does not say. BS EN 60601-2-5 limits the patient contact surface of a treatment head to 43 °C under its simulated-use test and to 50 °C under a second test condition. A 45 °C ceiling sits inside the second limit and above the first. Ask for the manufacturer's test report against the standard, with the test condition named, before the console goes into service.

The most intense point in the beam can reach around six times the average intensity across the radiating area. IEC 61689 treats heads above 8 as unsafe, so 6 sits inside the limit, and lower figures mean a more even beam. In practice, the applicator should travel in slow, overlapping circles so that no patch of tissue stays under a peak. If the console carries two heads, each needs its own published figure.

Continuous output runs without interruption and is the setting used when tissue heating is the aim. The published duty cycle of 20 to 80 per cent points to a pulsed setting, which lowers the average dose and suits acute and sub-acute presentations. The sheet calls that setting automatic without defining it, and no pulse repetition rate is given. Ask how automatic mode behaves and what frequency the pulses run at.

Start with the device class, typically Class IIa under UK MDR 2002, or higher, use-dependent — confirmed against the declaration of conformity at order. A Class IIa device needs a certificate from a notified or approved body, so ask for its number, the MHRA registration and the name of the UK Responsible Person, since the manufacturer is based outside the UK. The sheet shows no marking of any kind. Great Britain accepts CE-marked devices under transitional arrangements running to 2028 or 2030, depending on the legislation behind the certificate; UKCA is the alternative route, and the MHRA consulted in 2026 on making CE recognition indefinite. The manufacturer issues the declaration of conformity, and the seller provides it.

The manufacturer publishes no interval, so the service has to set one. Field surveys have repeatedly found therapy units delivering something other than their display: one study of 83 clinical machines found 39 per cent outside ±20 per cent at one or more settings, and a North Wales survey rated only 44 per cent of units satisfactory. Indicated output power is expected to hold within ±20 per cent. Measure each applicator on a radiation force balance before first use, so later readings have a baseline, and ask the seller what interval the manufacturer recommends.

Two of the commonest musculoskeletal presentations. NICE guideline NG59 says not to offer ultrasound for low back pain with or without sciatica, and NG226 lists ultrasound therapy among the electrotherapies not to offer for osteoarthritis because evidence of benefit is insufficient. That leaves superficial soft tissue work where a clinician judges ultrasound worth including, usually alongside exercise. Writing the indication list down before purchase keeps the console to the work it suits.

Any service treating mainly deep structures, because 3 MHz alone will not reach them. Any caseload dominated by low back pain or osteoarthritis, given the NICE position. Any buyer who needs two channels and cannot get the head count in writing, and any service without a way to measure output on each applicator. For superficial tendon and ligament work, with an indication list agreed and output checks arranged, the published specification is detailed enough to plan around.

Two supply builds are listed, 220 V at 50 Hz and 110 V at 60 Hz, and UK mains is nominally 230 V at 50 Hz. Specify the 220 V build, ask whether its rated input range covers 230 V, and make sure a UK plug and mains lead come with it. In service, it falls under the electrical safety testing regime the provider's policy sets for medical electrical equipment.
