The JC01-50W is Texua's dual-frequency therapeutic ultrasound console for services that treat at multiple depths. The frequency is selectable at 1 or 3 MHz. Effective intensity reaches 3 watts per square centimetre, energy control runs from 1 to 20, and the duty cycle spans 20 to 80 per cent with automatic and continuous switching. The beam type is collimating with a non-uniformity coefficient of 6, the radiating figure is 4.5, and the applicator surface temperature is not to exceed 45 degrees. The console carries an eight-inch screen, measures 370 by 285 by 320 mm, weighs 3.8 kg and takes 220 V at 50 Hz or 110 V at 60 Hz. Machine power appears as two figures: 50 and 100 watts.

Two frequencies are the substantive capability, and it removes a real failure mode. Absorption rises with frequency, so one megahertz travels where three megahertz has already been absorbed. Half-value depths are commonly put near three to four centimetres at one megahertz against one to two and a half at thre—aA clinician who can select either matches depth to the presentation.

The figure introducing a different risk is the intensity ceiling. Three watts per square centimetre is the international limit for therapy machines, and this console's maximum equals it, leaving no margin above. Heads drift with use; surveys have repeatedly found large proportions delivering more than they display, and over-delivery has been associated with skin burns. Calibration here is a safety control rather than a matter of accuracy.

Medigear.uk lists the JC01-50W for UK business buyers. Before ordering, ask the seller for the calibration interval and route, the radiating area (with units), what the depth figure measures, and the device class with its declaration of conformity.

Two frequencies change what a single console covers across a working list. Musculoskeletal services, physiotherapy departments, sports clinics and rehabilitation units see presentations at every depth from a superficial tendon insertion to a substantial muscle belly. Until now, the depth question has usually been answered by which machine was free rather than by what the tissue needed.

At three megahertz the energy is absorbed within the first centimetre or two, which suits trigger points close to the surface, shallow calcific deposits, scar work and superficial tendon. At one megahertz, the same console reaches structures three to five centimetres in, where larger muscle groups and deeper soft tissue sit. Selecting between them is a clinical decision made per patient, and having both available is what makes it a decision at all.

Against that sits the intensity ceiling. A console that reaches three watts per square centimetre is working at the regulatory maximum, and everything above that is prohibited rather than merely inadvisable. Whoever is operating it needs to understand that the top of the dial is also the top of the permitted range, and the service needs a calibration arrangement that confirms the display still matches what the head delivers.

The indication list remains the harder conversation. Guidance advises against ultrasound in low back pain and sciatica and in osteoarthritis, and a 2025 rotator cuff guideline agrees. Procurement runs through trust services, private clinics, podiatry groups, and teaching institutions under their own rules, with a Class IIa or IIb device clearing clinical governance alongside finance, and adverse incidents reported to the MHRA via Yellow Card.

Two frequencies on one console

One and three megahertz cover a depth range no single frequency can match. The clinician chooses per presentation rather than per machine, which means treating what is in front of them, not what the equipment happens to reach.

The full intensity range is available.

Effective intensity runs to three watts per square centimetre, the highest levels therapy machines are permitted to reach. Protocols calling for the upper part of that range at one megahertz are within reach, not outside the console's capability.

A wide energy scale

Twenty steps rather than ten gives finer resolution across the range, which matters when working up to a patient's tolerance and when the top of the scale coincides with the regulatory limit.

Duty cycle across acute and chronic work

Twenty to eighty per cent with automatic and continuous switching covers largely non-thermal pulsing for acute presentations and continuous output for chronic ones. Both sit on the same console with an adjustable ratio.

A published beam non-uniformity coefficient

Putting a number on beam evenness gives an operator something concrete about hot spots and a buyer something they can check. At 6 it falls inside the accepted range, and it translates directly into how the head should be moved.

An applicator temperature ceiling

Not exceeding 45 degrees at the surface in skin contact is a stated boundary, not an assurance. It is the sort of figure an operator can hold the equipment to.

Dual rated voltage

Rated voltage covers 220 V at 50 Hz and 110 V at 60 Hz, widening where a unit can be deployed across a group, provided the variant supplied is confirmed at order.

Every gap is closable in writing.

The radiating area with units, what the depth figure measures, the energy scale mapped to intensity, the calibration interval, the class and certificate, and what separates the two power figures. All of this already exists in the manufacturer's file.

Dual operating frequency

Selectable at 1 MHz and 3 MHz. Absorption rises with frequency, so the lower setting reaches deeper structures and the higher one concentrates in superficial tissue.

Effective intensity up to 3 W/cm²

Published maximum effective intensity. This equals the international ceiling for therapy machines, leaving no headroom above it.

Energy scale 1 to 20

Output is selected across twenty steps. No mapping from those steps to watts per square centimetre is published, and the relationship may differ between the two frequencies.

Duty cycle 20 to 80 per cent

Pulsing is adjustable across that span, with switch modes given as automatic and continuous. Pulse ratios and timer range do not appear.

Beam non-uniformity coefficient 6

Peak intensity divided by the average across the radiating area. The accepted span is three to seven; anything beyond eight is treated as unsafe.

Collimation beam type

The beam carries that label, without an accompanying profile, divergence figure or measurement method.

Radiating figure 4.5

Written as "4.5 centimetres". The quantity is properly an area in square centimetres, and effective intensity is derived from it, so the units require confirmation.

Maximum penetration depth given as 18 cm

Published as a maximum. At one megahertz the half-value depth is commonly put at three to four centimetres, so what this figure represents needs establishing.

Applicator surface temperature not exceeding 45 °C

An upper limit for the part resting against skin. The measurement conditions and duration are not given.

Eight-inch screen

Controls sit on an eight-inch screen. Resolution, stored protocols, language options and any session record function go undescribed.

Two machine power figures

Published as 50 W and 100 W. Nothing else on the specification separates the two, and both are mains input rather than acoustic output.

Console dimensions 370 × 285 × 320 mm

Published with a net mass of 3.8 kg. That volume against that mass is unusually light for powered electronics, so the depth figure warrants confirmation.

Packed dimensions 465 × 380 × 375 mm

The published packed size and mass are 6.8 kg, giving a shipping volume of roughly 0.066 cubic metres.

Calibration, applicators and marking not published

No calibration interval or method, applicator count or head sizes, coupling gel provision, device class, marking, Approved Body number, MHRA registration, or UK Responsible Person.

Two frequencies distinguish this console, and that distinction matters. The equipment no longer fixes depth; it becomes a decision made for each patient, and that constraint limits single-frequency machines most. The figure that needs equal attention is the intensity ceiling. Three watts per square centimetre is the maximum therapy machines are permitted to deliver, and a console specified to it has no margin for the drift every therapy head develops, which makes calibration a safety arrangement rather than a housekeeping one. Two entries on the sheet also need correcting before they travel further: the radiating area units and the eighteen centimetre depth. Medigear.uk lists the JC01-50W for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the calibration interval, the radiating area (with units), what the depth figure measures, and the device class from the seller at quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The depth a clinician can work at, which is the main constraint on this modality. Tissue absorbs ultrasound faster as frequency rises, so three megahertz is largely spent within the first centimetre or two, while one megahertz carries further. Published half-value depths sit around three to four centimetres at one megahertz and between one and two and a half at three. With both available, you can treat a shallow tendon insertion and a deeper muscle belly on the same list without compromising either. With one frequency only, the deeper target is either treated ineffectively or not treated.

Because it is the limit rather than a point below it, therapy machines are capped internationally at three watts per square centimetre, and a console whose maximum equals that cap has nothing in hand. Every therapy head drifts with use. Surveys of machines in clinical service have found large proportions delivering more than their display indicates, with figures approaching seventy per cent reported by work linked to the UK national measurement laboratory, and over-delivering devices associated with skin burns. On a machine specified to the ceiling, a drift upward is a drift past the permitted maximum. Put the calibration arrangement in place before the console is used, not after.

Not as a depth at which a useful dose arrives, even at the lower frequency. At one megahertz the half-value depth is commonly put at three to four centimetres, which leaves roughly a quarter of the surface energy by eight centimetres and very little beyond that. Eighteen centimetres sits well outside anything the dose tables support. The figure may be describing a depth at which pressure remains detectable rather than one that delivers treatment. Ask what was measured, by what method, and against what threshold before the number is used to justify an indication.

It needs correcting before the figure goes anywhere. The quantity is an area, expressed in square centimetres, and defined in the measurement standard for physiotherapy ultrasound as the smallest area through which three quarters of the acoustic power passes. Four and a half square centimetres is an ordinary treatment head size. Four and a half centimetres as a length is not a radiating area. It matters here because effective intensity is power divided by that area, so the intensity figure depends on getting it right. Ask for the value with units and the method used.

Not comfortably, and it is worth checking before allocating bench space. The published console measures 370 by 285 by 320 mm, which encloses about thirty-four litres. A net mass of 3.8 kg across that volume works out to about a tenth of a gram per cubic centimetre, which is remarkably light for a mains-powered device containing a transformer, a display, and control electronics. Either the depth figure includes something largely hollow such as an applicator cradle, or one of the two numbers needs revisiting. Ask for a dimensioned drawing and the mass of the variant being quoted.

Nothing published says. The control is described as a one-to-twenty range, and no mapping onto watts per square centimetre appears. That matters more on a console reaching the regulatory ceiling than it would on one with headroom, because the operator needs to know which settings approach three watts and which sit in the range most protocols actually use. Ask for the scale mapped against intensity at each frequency, since the relationship may differ between the two heads.

It describes how concentrated the energy is within the beam. The coefficient is the ratio of peak intensity anywhere in the field to the average across the radiating area, so 6 means the hottest part of the beam is about six times the mean. Three to seven is the generally accepted range, and above eight is treated as unsafe, so this sits in the upper half of the band. Combined with an intensity ceiling of three watts, it is a firm instruction on technique: keep the head moving at an even pace and treat an area rather than dwelling on a point.

Enough to shape the indication list before an order is placed. NICE advises against offering ultrasound for low back pain with or without sciatica, and the 2022 osteoarthritis guidance likewise recommends against it, naming therapeutic exercise as the core treatment. A Cochrane review of chronic low back pain found the current evidence does not support its use, and a 2025 rotator cuff tendinopathy guideline reaches the same conclusion. Mixed and weaker signals remain for myofascial pain, calcific tendinitis and knee osteoarthritis. Dual frequency widens what the machine can reach; it does not change what the guidance says.

Under UK MDR 2002, an active therapeutic device intended to administer energy falls under Rule 9, giving Class IIa unless the energy may be administered in a potentially hazardous way, in which case it is Class IIb. Both require a UK Approved Body, so a numbered certificate exists or the device is not lawfully on the market. Registration with the MHRA is required before the device reaches the Great Britain market, and a manufacturer established outside the UK must appoint a UK Responsible Person. None of this appears. Ask for the class, the certificate and body number, the registration and the named responsible person.

Any service without a calibration arrangement, since a console specified to the intensity ceiling depends on one. Any buyer choosing between the two published power figures without knowing what separates them, because nothing else on the sheet does. Any caseload dominated by low back pain or osteoarthritis, given the guidance. And anyone planning bench space from the published dimensions before the depth figure is confirmed. For a service treating across a range of depths with calibration in hand, two frequencies on one console is a genuine working advantage.
