Wireless Handheld Ultrasound

A wireless handheld ultrasound is a probe that does the work of the main unit and sends the image to a smart display such as a tablet. It is also called a handheld ultrasound, a pocket ultrasound or a POCUS device. A console-based system has its own large screen. The handheld probe is meant for point-of-care assessment and procedure guidance, and this page does not present it as a replacement for a console-based system. Butterfly iQ is the brand name Butterfly Network uses, and Clarius is the brand name Clarius Mobile Health uses, for their handheld ultrasound products. The names belong to their owners, and the product on this page is not one of those brands. This page does not compare products.

The wireless TR-WP1 carries a linear (5 to 12 MHz) and a convex (2.5 to 6 MHz) array in one probe. The wired series has five linear probes (TRU13, TR-P1, TR-P1PRO, TR-P1SMA and TR-P1SUP, at 5 to 12 or 5 to 14 MHz) and three convex probes (TRU17, TR-P2ULT and TR-P2EXP, at 2.5 to 6 MHz). The series also has a phased array probe, the TR-P3AI, at 2 to 4 MHz. The codes are in the model table.

As a general rule the linear array works at a higher frequency and shows structures close to the skin, such as vessels and superficial nerves, in more detail. The convex array works at a lower frequency and reaches deeper structures. On the TR-WP1 both arrays are on the same probe. The physician chooses the array for each procedure.

The probe is the main unit, and the image is viewed on the screen of a smart display. The TR-WP1 connects to that screen wirelessly, and the wired series connects with a USB cable. A tablet is an optional accessory. This page does not list the compatible devices, the app or the operating system. Write to us for that information.

A wireless charger is on the accessory list of the wireless series. This page does not list the battery life or the charging time. Write to us for that information.

IPX7 is a water protection level in the IEC 60529 standard and describes protection against temporary immersion in water. The manufacturer gives this level, together with daily cleaning and disinfection, in the general description of the series. This page does not confirm that the level also applies to the wireless TR-WP1. Write to us for that information. The manufacturer's own instructions set which disinfectant and which method are used.

Yes, we know of one randomized controlled trial (Zhuang and colleagues, Frontiers in Medicine, 2026). At a single centre it studied radial artery catheterization in 194 patients aged 65 or over. In one group the TR-WP1 linear probe was used with a system that brought the image into the operator's view through another maker's AR console and smart glasses. The other group used a console-based ultrasound system. First puncture success was 90.7 against 68.0 percent, and the median total procedure time was 36 against 46 seconds. Because the two groups used different ultrasound systems, the trial does not separate the share of the glasses or of the probe. Three experienced anesthesiologists did the procedures and knew the group. The authors declared no financial support and no commercial relationship.

The manufacturer lists the emergency department, intensive care and the ambulance, ward rounds and the initial physical examination, and also puncture guidance, pain treatment and PICC catheterization during procedures. Ultrasound-guided procedures need training and experience, and the hospital decides who uses the device and for which procedure.
