Stork Healthcare Showcases Wireless Handheld Ultrasound at CMEF Autumn Expo, Expanding Multi-Scenario Clinical Applications

In Qingdao this October, the crisp autumn air brought clear skies and scattered clouds. On October 19, the 82nd China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) grandly opened at the Qingdao World Expo City. Themed “Intelligent Reconstruction,” the expo showcased the deep integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing with medical devices. As a leading player in China’s handheld ultrasound industry, Siduoke unveiled its wireless handheld ultrasound system at the 2019 Autumn CMEF.

Sedocare is committed to elevating ultrasound diagnostics to new heights, providing comprehensive, multi-specialty, and full-spectrum clinical solutions for primary healthcare institutions and clinical departments. At this exhibition, Sedocare’s wireless handheld ultrasound device garnered significant attention.

At the exhibition, the Sduoke wireless handheld ultrasound device seen by attendees is only the size of a smartphone and weighs less than 250 grams, yet it feels substantial in hand. This compact handheld ultrasound incorporates multiple proprietary technology platforms from Sduoke, including its proprietary imaging platform as well as key technologies such as proprietary elastography and 3D Doppler spectral imaging.

When visitors experienced the wireless handheld ultrasound at the SonoCo exhibition booth, they simply needed to place the device over the radial artery of the wrist, and hemodynamic information was displayed in real time on the ultrasound image. SonoCo’s wireless handheld ultrasound delivers zero-latency, lag-free imaging and supports real-time needle guidance.

To ensure wireless imaging quality and speed, the Sontek handheld ultrasound system employs 32 physical channels for signal reception. Its 128-element probe enhances image resolution, while point-by-point transmit focusing significantly improves image quality. Furthermore, Sontek’s GPU chip boosts data acquisition efficiency and overall computational power. With integrated front-end and back-end chips, the system achieves truly zero-latency, lag-free imaging.

In terms of application scenarios, the remote diagnostic capabilities of Siduoke’s wireless handheld ultrasound system can be utilized in a variety of settings, including remote education, clinical specialty applications, primary healthcare, and telemedicine.

In clinical specialty applications, Sidoco provides customized solutions for various departments, broadening clinicians’ diagnostic perspectives. Currently, the Sidoco wireless handheld ultrasound system can be utilized for thyroid examinations, liver assessments, kidney evaluations, radial artery imaging, deep vein thrombosis screening of the femoral veins, guidance for internal jugular vein catheterization, intercostal nerve block anesthesia, hemodialysis center operations, brachial plexus needle guidance, and point-of-care ultrasound in gastroenterology.

For primary care settings, Sidoco has miniaturized certain functions of large-scale color Doppler ultrasound systems, enabling primary care physicians to perform precise diagnoses and remote consultations using handheld ultrasound devices.

In addition to its superior professional performance, the Sontec wireless handheld ultrasound device is designed to align with physicians' usage habits.

An ultrasound physician attending the exhibition on-site stated, “Sondtek’s probe has a robust and substantial design, yet it feels lightweight when held. The probe features a charging dock design, and its image real-time performance is quite good. In particular, the high frame rate function delivers excellent real-time visual feedback during demonstrations. It is equipped with automatic intima-media thickness measurement and automatic probe matching via QR code. The interactive user interface has been thoughtfully designed, unlike some current handheld products that simply adopt the engineering logic of R&D personnel without any aesthetic consideration. Sondtek’s product delivers high-quality abdominal images with rich information content, and does not rely entirely on post-processing.”

It is worth noting that the integration of Sidoco’s wireless handheld ultrasound with 5G technology has been applied in pre-hospital emergency medical services in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. This innovation facilitates remote consultations, overcomes physical spatial barriers through ultrasound equipment, reduces emergency response time for critically ill patients, and improves treatment outcomes, thereby enabling patients to receive safer, higher-quality, and more efficient medical care.

Established in 2016, Siduoke has completed three rounds of financing within its first three years. Moving forward, Siduoke will continue to focus on wireless handheld ultrasound devices, providing high-quality solutions for diagnostic needs across various scenarios.
