Material Composition | Hospital imaging labs, mobile clinics | Industry: Plastic (ISO 10993) Base: Metal-reinforced plastic (ASTM F1383) Advanced: Alloy composite (ASTM F2999) | ▲ Base: Lighter than all-metal probes ▲ Advanced: 40% stronger than Base | Industry: Susceptible to scratches Advanced: Higher cost due to alloy use |
Noise Level | Quiet environments (e.g., pediatric care) | Industry: 45 dBA (similar to a quiet library) Base: 40 dBA (quieter than a whisper) Advanced: 35 dBA (barely audible) | ▲ Advanced: Reduces patient anxiety in sensitive settings | Industry: May disturb adjacent rooms in shared spaces |
Chemical Resistance | High-sanitation environments (ICUs) | Industry: Resists 20+ common disinfectants Base: Withstands 50+ chemical exposures (ASTM D543) Advanced: 100+ exposures (ISO 10993-10) | ▲ Advanced: Maintains integrity after repeated sterilization cycles | Base: Limited compatibility with strong oxidizers |
Weight | Portable ultrasound systems | Industry: 500g (similar to a smartphone) Base: 450g (lighter than a tablet) Advanced: 400g (featherweight design) | ▲ Advanced: Reduces user fatigue during prolonged scans | Industry: Heavier models may strain handheld use |
Compatibility | Multi-brand systems (GE, Philips, etc.) | Industry: Works with 3-5 models Base: Compatible with 10+ models (including GE 3Sc-RS) Advanced: Universal fit for 20+ brands | ▲ Base: Reduces inventory costs for multi-system hospitals | Industry: Requires adapters for newer systems |
Image Resolution | High-detail diagnostics (e.g., cardiology) | Industry: 10 MHz (standard clarity) Base: 12 MHz (40% sharper details) Advanced: 15 MHz (ultra-fine tissue differentiation) | ▲ Advanced: Detects micro-lesions undetectable to Industry probes | Base: May overheat during prolonged high-resolution scans |
