Technology Data
Possible applications
We believe that affordable medical solution with our portable ultrasound scanner and planed cloud learning services can contribute to promote universal health coverage directly.
For our achievement, in JICA’s demonstration project in Sudan, it was confirmed that midwives are capable to carry out ultrasound screening in antenatal care sufficiently, after simple training. We are confident that our service will contribute to BOP business, especially antenatal ultrasound screening by midwives.
Competitive advantage
【Initial Cost】
FOB Japan price 2,200-3,200USD (USB probe only)
*You can use your own Windows PC connecting to USB port, in case CPU spec. is above Core i3 and OS is Win.8, Win8.1 or Win10.
【Maintenance cost】
When something happens to the conventional big ultrasound scanner, medical engineer must come to the site it set to check it. While, this portable ultrasound can be easily sent to the distributor at the capital city. This will cause significant difference in maintenance cost.
Performance
【Useful Function, “SyncView”】
Probe hand work and ultrasound tomography can be simultaneously recorded in one screen. This original function provides you with new means for reviewing and receiving feedback after training. “SyncView” will make it easier to check if you are scanning the correct position with the correct angle.
Technical maturity / Past record of introduction
Number of Sales: About five-hundred devices (Japan and Global)
Actual duration: Five Years (since US-304 has released in 2015)
And we are negotiating the reseller in 50 countries.
【Completed Project】
- JICA Project in Sudan (2015~2018)
“Verification Survey with the Private Sector for Disseminating Japanese Technologies for Improving Maternal and Child Health Utilizing Ultrasound Equipment”
【Ongoing Project】
・JICA Public-Private Partnership Project in Brazil (2019~2021)
Information on patent related to this technology
We are proceeding with obtaining the standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission, IEC 60601 1 and 2-37.
It is expected to be acquired them in September this year.
