Periodmed PIU1D

General diagnostic wards and emergency departments across multi-site health networks represent a primary deployment context for the PIU1D. Departments standardising on a wireless convex probe across multiple wards benefit from a CE-certified device with consistent specifications across every unit. The nine-mode frequency range — five fundamental and four harmonic — maintains diagnostic capability across the full range of body types without probe change. Medigear.uk helps with fleet procurement by providing specification documentation, volume pricing, and logistics planning for multi-unit deployments.

Obstetric and gynaecological services use the PIU1D throughout the antenatal care pathway. The 2.5 MHz lower frequency and harmonic modes provide deep obstetric penetration and improved contrast in challenging presentations. At the same time, the 40–300 mm depth range covers fetal biometry, placental location, liquor assessment, and uterine and ovarian evaluation across diverse patient body types. PW Doppler to ±120 cm and colour flow to ±76 cm support standard umbilical and uterine artery Doppler. Medigear.uk can advise on obstetric service fleet configurations.

Intensive care and high-dependency units deploy the PIU1D for bedside abdominal assessment in environments where cart access is impractical. Organ perfusion, inferior vena cava collapsibility, and pleural and ascitic fluid mapping can be achieved without patient transfer. The harmonic modes maintain image quality in critically ill patients with suboptimal abdominal acoustic windows. The IPX7 rating supports submersion disinfection in isolation environments.

Specialist outpatient teams in gastroenterology, oncology, and urology use the PIU1D for structured organ surveillance across clinical sites. The nine frequency modes provide imaging control across diverse patient presentations in specialist outpatient settings. Distributors building a regional wireless imaging portfolio find the PIU1D's CE documentation and bulk-supply flexibility through Medigear.uk to be a strong, differentiated product for multi-buyer markets.

Fleet-Ready CE-Certified Wireless Convex Imaging Across the Intelligent Series

The PIU1D is designed for deployment at scale — across wards, departments, and sites — with consistent CE-certified specification, uniform app interface across all Intelligent Series models, and bulk supply support through Medigear.uk. For procurement officers standardising wireless convex imaging across a health network, the PIU1D's documented compliance trail and fleet pricing options make it a strong institutional procurement choice. Medigear.uk provides volume pricing, OEM arrangement support, and logistics planning for multi-unit orders.

Nine Frequency Modes for a Diverse Clinical Population Without Probe Change

Five fundamental frequencies (2.5, 3.5, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 MHz) and four harmonic modes (H3.6, H4.0, H5.0, H6.0 MHz) give every clinician using the PIU1D the imaging flexibility to optimise for patient body habitus, organ depth, and tissue characteristics without switching devices. In a fleet environment where multiple clinicians with varying levels of experience share devices across shifts, this breadth of frequencies reduces the training burden and eliminates the clinical compromise associated with a limited-range probe.

CE-Certified Compliance for Institutional and Distributor Procurement

CE certification confirms that the PIU1D meets the applicable requirements of the Medical Device Directive throughout its full specification. This is the primary compliance requirement for hospital and institutional clinical procurement, and the PIU1D satisfies it without restriction. You can find the declaration of conformity and technical file on Medigear.uk, providing governance and procurement teams with a complete, auditable equipment approval trail—a practical necessity for fleet procurement across large organisations.

Four Harmonic Modes for Consistent Image Quality Across Patient Body Types

Harmonic modes at H3.6, H4.0, H5.0, and H6.0 MHz reduce artefact and improve tissue contrast across the PIU1D's full depth range. In a fleet deployment serving a mixed clinical population, the availability of four harmonic modes — from H3.6 for deeper penetration at harmonic frequency to H6.0 for near-field contrast improvement — means the device performs reliably across the full clinical breadth without requiring operator expertise in probe selection. This reduces the diagnostic compromise that can arise when multiple users of varying skill levels share a single device.

40–300 mm Depth Range for Near-Field to Deep-Field Convex Coverage

A depth range starting at 40 mm provides the PIU1D with clinical coverage from near-field paediatric and neonatal abdominal imaging through to 300 mm deep abdominal and obstetric assessment in high-BMI adult patients — all without probe change. For fleet environments where the same device serves paediatric and adult wards, this extended depth range provides genuine cross-population clinical utility from a single device type.

IPX7 Waterproof Rating for Fleet-Grade Infection Control

IPX7 certification enables full submersion disinfection between patients — materially stronger than wipe-only protocols. In fleet deployments where devices are shared across multiple users and patient contacts per shift, this rating supports the infection governance requirements of hospital and multi-site clinical environments. The wireless, cableless design eliminates ports and connectors that accumulate contamination on conventional tethered probes, providing an additional infection-control advantage in shared-device environments.

3200 mAh Fast-Charging Battery for Continuous Fleet Operation

The 3200 mAh battery reaches full charge in 60 minutes via wireless induction, with 43% restored in 30 minutes — enabling rapid charging between shifts or clinical sessions to keep fleet devices continuously operational. For multi-unit deployments, Medigear.uk can advise on charging infrastructure and rotation schedules to keep devices available across ward-level fleets.

Android, iOS, and Windows Compatibility for Seamless Fleet Integration

The PIU1D connects wirelessly to any smartphone, tablet, or laptop without a proprietary display terminal, integrating directly into the existing mobile or desktop devices that a clinical team already operates. For fleet procurement, this eliminates a significant hardware cost and IT complexity barrier — no dedicated display infrastructure needs to be deployed or maintained alongside the probes. Medigear.uk supports DICOM and IT governance documentation for institutional fleet deployments.

OEM and Distributor Supply — Scalable to Regional and National Portfolio Level

The PIU1D is available through Medigear.uk, from individual clinical purchases to regional and national distributor volume supply. OEM arrangements support custom branding and bundle configuration for distribution partners, helping build the wireless Intelligent Series imaging product line with fleet-appropriate specifications, CE certification, and Medigear. Our UK commercial support team says the PIU1D is a scalable, documentable product for distributors targeting multi-site health networks and hospital procurement programmes.

128-Element Convex Transducer

The PIU1D's 128-element convex array provides the element density and aperture required for diagnostic-grade beam-forming across a 40–300 mm depth range, supporting the nine-mode frequency suite and the PW Doppler range of ±120 cm needed for adult abdominal and obstetric clinical work.

Fundamental Frequency Range: 2.5–6.0 MHz (Five Selectable Frequencies)

Five selectable fundamental frequencies — 2.5, 3.5, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 MHz — span the complete penetration-resolution spectrum for convex probe abdominal and obstetric imaging across diverse patient presentations and body types within a fleet environment.

Harmonic Imaging Modes: H3.6, H4.0, H5.0, H6.0 MHz

Four harmonic modes provide contrast improvement from near-field to deep-field across the PIU1D's full depth range of 40–300 mm. H3.6 and H4.0 address deeper abdominal structures, while H5.0 and H6.0 improve near-field resolution for obstetric and paediatric applications.

Imaging Depth: 40–300 mm

A 40–300 mm depth range covers near-field paediatric and neonatal abdominal imaging at 40 mm through to deep adult abdominal and obstetric assessment at 300 mm, making the PIU1D clinically viable across age groups within a shared fleet device.

Dynamic Range: 36–120 dB

A consistent 36–120 dB dynamic range across all nine frequency modes ensures predictable image contrast throughout the clinical workflow, regardless of the selected frequency or harmonic mode — a requirement for a shared fleet device used by multiple operators.

Gain: 1–100%

Full 1–100% gain adjustment across all imaging and Doppler modes gives each clinician using the device complete brightness control for individual patients and body habitus types, matching the gain range of full-size cart-based convex systems.

8-Segment Time Gain Compensation (TGC)

Eight independent depth-zone TGC controls allow gain correction at each tissue level across the 40–300 mm depth range, enabling independent optimisation of near-field and far-field structures within the same image frame — a standard requirement for diagnostic-grade convex imaging.

Single Optimised Transmit Focus

The PIU1D uses a single transmit focus optimised for the convex probe's abdominal imaging depth range, providing consistent beam quality across the 40–300 mm clinical window without requiring operator selection between focus positions.

PW Doppler Range: ±15 cm / ±120 cm

Two selectable PW Doppler ranges — ±15 cm for near-field superficial vessel assessment and ±120 cm for deep abdominal and obstetric Doppler — cover the standard Doppler requirements of general diagnostic and obstetric convex imaging without aliasing in typical adult clinical presentations.

Colour Flow Doppler Range: ±8 cm / ±76 cm

Two colour flow ranges — ±8 cm for near-field and paediatric vascular assessment, and ±76 cm for deep abdominal colour flow mapping — allow precise velocity-scale matching across the PIU1D's clinical applications.

Display Modes: B, CF, PW, M, PDI, DPDI

The full mode set covers all standard diagnostic and Doppler requirements for general abdominal, obstetric, urological, and emergency imaging with a convex probe — consistent across all Intelligent Series models to standardise fleet training.

Spot Reduction: On/Off

Switchable spot reduction reduces speckle noise to improve the visual clarity of tissue boundaries and organ interfaces, which is useful in abdominal and obstetric imaging, where clean boundary definition aids diagnostic confidence and measurement accuracy across multiple users.

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 — enabling continuous fleet operation through rapid rotation charging between shifts or sessions.

Android, iOS, and Windows Wireless Connectivity with DICOM, BMP, and JPG Output

Wireless connectivity to Android, iOS, and Windows removes the need for a proprietary display terminal across an entire fleet, reducing hardware cost and IT complexity at scale. DICOM output supports PACS integration. Medigear.uk supports IT governance documentation for institutional fleet DICOM integration.
