It's a 128-element microconvex probe at 3.5MHz, basically tuned for depth penetration while keeping decent near-field resolution—which matters for fetal imaging where you're scanning past abdominal layers. The metal and plastic housing holds up better than all-plastic shells we've seen, usually around 1.5kg so it's not too heavy for extended use. Most buyers go with this for OB/GYN work, though we've had some urology clinics pick it up for prostate scans since the curved footprint sits well against the body.
We've been selling these into practices that run Toshiba Aplio XG, MX, Aplio 500, or 300 systems—teh PVT-382BT is the exact OEM replacement for those. It's not an upgrade form a higher-frequency probe, so don't expect it to resolve fine details like a 7MHz linear would. The 3.5MHz trade-off is better signal penetration in larger patients or deeper structures, but you lose some superficial clarity.
New stock, CE certified, comes with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects—not damage from drops or liquid exposure. Each unit ships with a COA for acoustic output and element continuity, so you can test it on arrival if your engineer wants to run an impedance check. We usually have supply on hand, but lead times can stretch to 20 days or so if we're between batches.
Compatibility is narrower than some third-party probes, which only support certain system software versions. So confirm your Aplio's software revision before ordering—Toshiba locked out some aftermarket transducers after firmware updates. We'll provide the TDS sheets anyway, and our techs can verify compatibilty if you send the system model number.
It's fixed at 3.5MHz, which is the standard for OB/GYN exams. If you need a different frequency for deeper penetration, we can discuss custom options, but that would affect lead time and MOQ.
For this model, our MOQ is typically 5 units for custom orders. If you need less, we might have stock units available, but custom specs require a minimum batch.
Yes, every probe ships with its CE certificate. We also include a test report to confirm it works with Toshiba Aplio XG, MX, XG, 500, and 300 systems.
Standard lead time is 15-20 working days for a batch of 5-10 units. Customizations like different cable lengths or connectors could add 5-7 days.
Store it in a clean, dry place at room temperature, ideally in the original packaging or a padded case. Avoid extreme heat or moisture, as the metal and plastic parts can degrade over time.
