Periodmed PAU1L

General diagnostic wards and emergency departments represent the primary setting for the PAU1L. The combination of convex, linear, and phased-array imaging in a single pocket-sized device covers the full diagnostic breadth of acute-care ultrasound — abdominal FAST examinations, cardiac function assessment, vascular access confirmation, and superficial soft tissue evaluation — without requiring a cart or multiple transducers. Clinicians can move from an abdominal window to a cardiac view to a carotid assessment within the same patient encounter. Medigear.uk can support procurement teams reviewing POCUS fleet needs with detailed product documentation and volume pricing.

Intensive care and high-dependency units gain specific value from the PAU1L's phased-array cardiac capability. Bedside assessment of ventricular function, fluid responsiveness via inferior vena cava collapsibility, and pericardial effusion detection are all achievable with the phased-array in a cableless 212 g probe that fits between existing monitoring equipment without a cart. Colour flow and PW Doppler on the phased array extend to ±160 cm and ±62 cm respectively, providing the depth and velocity coverage required for standard intensive care echocardiographic protocols. The IPX7 rating supports rigorous between-patient disinfection in these high-acuity settings.

Specialist outpatient and procedural clinics use the PAU1L across its full three-probe range. Cardiology outpatient services use the phased array for initial cardiac screening and follow-up. Vascular and vascular surgery teams use the linear probe for carotid, peripheral arterial, and venous mapping. Rheumatology, physiotherapy, and pain management teams use the linear and convex probes for musculoskeletal and guided injection work, with Needle Enhancement mode improving procedural precision. The PAU1L's multi-specialty breadth makes it a high-value single acquisition for integrated clinical teams.

Community and home care settings benefit from the PAU1L wherever mobile multi-organ assessment is needed. Domiciliary cardiac follow-up, post-discharge abdominal monitoring, and rural or underserved clinic use all become viable with a device that is self-contained, wireless, and recharged within the hour. Medigear.uk provides purchasing and after-sales support for community health organisations, mobile diagnostic teams, and individual clinicians sourcing a capable, portable imaging solution for outreach or home-based clinical practice.

Three Probe Modes Including Cardiac — All in 212 g

The PAU1L uniquely combines convex, linear, and phased-array scanning in a single device, adding full cardiac imaging capability to the dual-probe architecture of the PAU1K. For departments requiring abdominal, vascular, and cardiac point-of-care imaging, this eliminates the need for three separate devices and reduces both capital expenditure and training overhead. Procurement teams can obtain a full cost-per-application comparison from Medigear.uk.

CE-Certified for Hospital and Institutional Procurement

CE certification confirms conformity with applicable medical device directive requirements. This is a mandatory compliance threshold for hospital procurement committees, and the PAU1L clears it across all three probe configurations within a single device registration. The full declaration of conformity and supporting technical file are available through Medigear.uk for governance review.

Phased-Array Cardiac Imaging at the Bedside Without a Cart

The 90-degree sector phased-array probe enables standard transthoracic echocardiographic windows — parasternal, apical, and subcostal — with PW Doppler to ±160 cm and colour flow to ±62 cm. This brings cardiac function assessment directly to the bedside in emergency, intensive care, and outpatient environments without the logistical burden of a dedicated echocardiography system. For clinical governance teams evaluating point-of-care cardiac imaging programmes, the PAU1L represents a documented, CE-certified solution.

AI-Assisted Imaging Across All Three Probe Configurations

Integrated AI anatomical guidance provides real-time probe-positioning feedback and identifies key landmarks for wrist, neck, and fetal imaging presets. This reduces the minimum operator skill level required for confident scanning across all three probe types, making the PAU1L viable in environments where ultrasound capability is being extended beyond specialist sonographers. Experienced clinicians benefit from the AI-guided scan speed advantages during high-volume shifts.

IPX7 Waterproof Rating for Submersion-Grade Infection Control

IPX7 certification enables full submersion disinfection, a stronger infection-control approach than the wipe-only disinfection permitted by lower-rated probes. The cableless wireless design eliminates the contamination risk posed by ports and connectors in conventional multi-probe systems. Both advantages are directly relevant to the isolation and high-acuity settings in which the PAU1L's cardiac capabilities are most frequently deployed.

3200 mAh Fast-Charging Battery for Shift-Long Operation

The 3200 mAh battery charges to full in 60 minutes via wireless induction. The optional wireless charging case extends battery life as a portable power bank, suitable for clinicians moving between departments or working in community settings without reliable mains access. This charging architecture supports both high-intensity use in a hospital emergency department and intermittent use by a mobile clinical team.

Broad Platform Compatibility — No Proprietary Hardware Required

Android, iOS, and Windows support means the PAU1L connects to any smartphone, tablet, or laptop a clinical team already owns. There is no mandatory display unit to procure or maintain. For distributors, this removes a hardware barrier to adoption and substantially broadens the addressable market. Medigear.uk provides IT governance documentation for institutional deployments that require DICOM integration and data security review.

Needle Enhancement Mode for Procedural Precision

Needle Enhancement on the linear probe configuration digitally increases needle visibility against background tissue in real time, improving accuracy during ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, vascular access, joint injections, and biopsy procedures. This capability, combined with the PAU1L's multi-probe architecture, positions it as a single-device solution for both diagnostic and procedural ultrasound across multiple specialities.

Scalable from Individual Clinical Purchase to Bulk Institutional Supply

The PAU1L is available through Medigear.uk as a single unit or in volume for institutional procurement and OEM distribution. The three-probe capability makes it a high-value option for distributors targeting multi-speciality hospital departments or integrated care networks. Volume pricing, accessory bundles, and OEM configuration options are all available — contact the Medigear.uk commercial team to discuss requirements.

128-Element, 64-Channel Transducer Architecture

The PAU1L is built on a 128-element array with 64 active receive channels, providing the beam-forming capacity and aperture required for diagnostic-grade imaging across all three probe configurations — convex, linear, and phased array — within a single probe body.

Convex Array Frequency Range: 2.5–6.0 MHz (+ Harmonic to H6.0 MHz)

The convex probe covers 2.5–6.0 MHz in fundamental mode with harmonic sub-modes at H3.6, H4.0, H5.0, and H6.0 MHz. This range supports deep abdominal scanning at lower frequencies and improved tissue contrast through harmonic imaging at higher settings, across a range of patient body types.

Linear Array Frequency Range: 5.0–12.0 MHz (+ Harmonic to H12 MHz)

The linear probe reaches up to 12.0 MHz in fundamental mode and H12 MHz in harmonic mode, delivering the resolution required for carotid, thyroid, peripheral vascular, tendon, and nerve imaging. The 40 mm aperture is appropriate for standard superficial anatomy in adult patients.

Phased Array Frequency Range: 2.0–6.0 MHz (+ Inverse Harmonic Modes)

The phased array operates from 2.0–6.0 MHz, with harmonic modes at H3.6 and H4.0 MHz and inverse-harmonic modes at iH3.6 and iH4.0 MHz. The 2.0 MHz lower limit and 90-degree sector angle are specifically configured for transthoracic echocardiography and intercostal cardiac windows.

Convex and Phased-Array Depth: 40–300 mm

Both the convex and phased-array configurations achieve a maximum imaging depth of 300 mm, providing coverage of deep abdominal and cardiac structures in most adult patients. Depth is adjustable incrementally, and 8-segment TGC enables zone-specific gain correction throughout the depth range.

Linear Array Depth: 20–150 mm

The linear probe's 20–150 mm range covers superficial anatomy from subcutaneous layers to deeper fascial compartments. The 20 mm minimum depth is appropriate for near-field structures, including skin surface pathology, while 150 mm reaches deeper peripheral compartments in larger limb segments.

Dynamic Range: 36–120 dB Across All Three Probe Configurations

The 36–120 dB dynamic range is consistent across convex, linear, and phased-array modes, ensuring uniform image contrast behaviour when switching between configurations during a clinical encounter. This consistency reduces the cognitive adjustment required when moving from abdominal to cardiac to vascular imaging within the same session.

8-Segment Time Gain Compensation (TGC)

Eight independent depth-zone gain controls allow compensation for tissue attenuation at different depths without altering the overall gain setting. TGC is implemented identically across all three probe configurations, supporting consistent image quality throughout the PAU1L's full clinical application range.

PW Doppler: ±120 cm Convex, ±160 cm Phased Array

PW Doppler measurement ranges of ±120 cm on convex and ±160 cm on phased array cover deep venous, portal, and cardiac Doppler assessments at clinically meaningful depths. The ±160 cm phased-array range is particularly relevant for measuring aortic and mitral valve flow velocities during bedside echocardiography.

Colour Flow Doppler: ±76 cm Convex, ±62 cm Phased Array

Colour flow measurement to ±76 cm on the convex probe and ±62 cm on the phased array enables real-time blood flow mapping across abdominal, cardiac, and peripheral vascular structures. Both ranges are sufficient for clinical differentiation of arterial and venous flow in standard adult patients.

Needle Enhancement Mode on Linear Probe

Needle Enhancement digitally improves needle visibility relative to background tissue on the linear probe, directly supporting accuracy in guided procedures. This mode is particularly valuable for nerve blocks, peripheral vascular cannulation, joint injections, and tissue biopsies, where maintaining visualisation of the needle tip during probe movement is clinically critical.

Full Display Mode Suite: B, CF, M, PW, PDI, DPDI, Colour M-Mode, Needle Enhancement

The complete mode set covers diagnostic and Doppler requirements for general, vascular, cardiac, obstetric, and interventional imaging. Colour M-mode enables simultaneous temporal and flow data in cardiac assessments. Medigear.uk can demonstrate the full mode suite against specific departmental clinical workflows on request.

3200 mAh Battery with 60-Minute Wireless Fast Charging

The 3200 mAh lithium cell reaches full charge in 60 minutes via wireless induction, with 43% restored in 30 minutes for rapid interim top-ups. Wireless induction charging eliminates exposed contacts, maintaining the probe body's IPX7 integrity over repeated charging cycles throughout its clinical lifetime.

IPX7 Waterproof and Dustproof Enclosure

IPX7 certification confirms protection against water immersion to a depth of 1 metre for 30 minutes, enabling full submersion disinfection across all three probe modes within the same device. The dustproof classification protects internal components in particulate-rich clinical environments, including procedure rooms and laboratory settings.

Optional Wireless Charge Case

The optional wireless charge case doubles as a protective transport shell and a portable power bank for wireless recharging away from mains power. For PAU1L deployed across emergency, intensive care, and outpatient settings in a single shift, this accessory helps keep you ready throughout long shifts. Available through Medigear.uk.

Android, iOS, and Windows Wireless Connectivity

With wireless connectivity to Android, iOS, and Windows devices, you can remove the proprietary display unit from your hardware procurement list, lower total acquisition costs, and integrate the PAU1L into your existing clinical workflows on mobile or desktop devices. DICOM, BMP, and JPG output supports PACS integration and telemedicine use across all three probe configurations.

Nine Clinical Speciality Presets Including Cardiology

Factory-configured presets span general imaging, abdomen, obstetrics, gynaecology, vascular, small parts, urology, musculoskeletal, and cardiology. The cardiology preset, enabled by the phased-array configuration, is the key differentiator between the PAU1L and the PAU1K. AI anatomical guidance layers on top of presets for wrist, neck, and fetal imaging, supporting consistent scanning across operator experience levels.

The Periodmed Aura PAU1L wireless colour Doppler ultrasound is a CE-certified, three-probe imaging tool designed for deployment across emergency departments, intensive care units, general diagnostic wards, specialist outpatient clinics, and community care settings. Its phased-array cardiac capability sets it apart from the dual-probe PAU1K, delivering echocardiographic imaging alongside abdominal, vascular, and procedural ultrasound from a single 212 g device. Its 3200 mAh wireless-charging battery, IPX7 waterproof rating, and Android/iOS/Windows compatibility address the practical demands of hospital procurement teams, multi-specialty clinical units, and distributors building comprehensive point-of-care imaging portfolios.
