Question 1

Is it Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?

Accepted Answer

Wi-Fi.

Question 2

Do you need a Wi-Fi connection to scan?

Accepted Answer

No, the probe is its own hotspot (which is crucial in urgent, mobile critical care settings, such as on helicopters and ambulances). The only time Wi-Fi is needed is for sending or transferring images.

Question 3

Is there a subscription and/or subscription cost?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no subscription plan associated with this probe. All costs are at the time of purchase. Any app updates will happen through the typical update pattern in the App Store.

Question 4

How can I share and store data?

Accepted Answer

The TE Air iP3 supports seamless data sharing. Images and cine loops can be exported in standard formats (JPG and MP4), and it integrates with DICOM 3.0 (Store, Media Exchange, Worklist); as well as third-party solutions like Q-path, Tricefy cloud, and shared PC folders. Data encryption is built in, with no subscriptions, locked features, or cloud dependence.

Question 5

How does DICOM / PACS work?

Accepted Answer

DICOM comes standard with the TE AIR and is not billed as an option. The device is DICOM 3.0 compliant and supports Verification (C-ECHO), US Image Storage, US Multiframe Image Storage, Enhanced US Volume Storage, Modality Worklist (C-FIND), Modality Performed Procedure Step, and Storage Commitment.

In practice: you retrieve a worklist from the RIS and send images and cines to the PACS, automatically when ending a study or manually per image. If the network drops, the device keeps a queue and automatically resends once the connection is restored. The system follows the IHE profiles SWF, PDI, and ED; TLS 1.2 is supported. Besides DICOM, Q-path, Tricefy, and shared network folders are also possible.

What we cannot do for you is the integration itself: connecting to your hospital's PACS requires coordination with your IT department. We are happy to provide you with the DICOM Conformance Statement and the necessary technical documentation.

IT checklist:
• AE Titles: register the TE AIR as a DICOM SCU/SCP with a unique AE Title for worklist, storage, and storage commitment.
• Ports: standard DICOM ports 104 (or 11112/2762 depending on the hospital) must be open between the tablet and PACS/RIS.
• Firewall rules: allow bidirectional traffic from the tablet subnet to the PACS IP and RIS IP on the DICOM ports; test C-ECHO after activation.
• Tablet network access: the tablet receives an IP on the hospital network (wifi or wired) with reachability to PACS/RIS; proxy/VPN is not supported by the TE AIR app.

Question 6

How long does it take to charge the probe, and what are the options?

Accepted Answer

The TE Air e5M and iP3 Systems can be charged with its USB Magnetic Transducer Charging Cable or via the Air Capsule. Using fast cable charging, the probe charges from 0 to 90% in about 35 minutes.

Question 7

Is it waterproof?

Accepted Answer

The TE Air e5M and iP3 Systems feature IP68 level waterproof and dustproof design and can withstand complete immersion with compatible disinfectants. Please refer to the complete disinfection manual for more details.

Question 8

What is the warranty?

Accepted Answer

Standard warranty includes the following, which begins upon system shipment: 1-year coverage on the wireless transducer (normal wear and failure), one-year coverage on accessories (USB charging cable, Air Capsule, etc.). Standard three (3) year warranty is available as an option.

Question 9

Is it chip technology?

Accepted Answer

The TE Air iP3 also uses piezoelectric crystal technology, specifically a phased array design with 64 elements and a 2.0-4.0 MHz bandwidth. This crystal-based approach provides the high sensitivity and penetration needed for cardiac and abdominal imaging, as well as thoracic, urology, and cephalic applications. By avoiding chip-based compromises, the TE Air iP3 ensures reliable diagnostic performance in demanding point of care environments.

Question 10

What is it compatible with?

Accepted Answer

The TE Air iP3 is compatible with both iOS and Android devices when they meet the minimum requirements. For iOS: Apple A10 processor or newer, iOS 13+, at least 128 GB storage, 2 GB memory, 4.7" or larger display with resolution 1224×750 and brightness 400 nit. For Android: Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, Android 10+, 256 GB storage, 8 GB memory, 6.41" or larger display with resolution 2340×1080 and brightness 400 nit.

Question 11

What is the battery life?

Accepted Answer

At full charge, the TE Air iP3 provides at least 90 minutes of operation.

Question 12

What scanning modes are supported?

Accepted Answer

The TE Air iP3 supports B-mode, M-mode, Color Doppler, Power Doppler, Pulsed Wave Doppler and Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI). Standard features include iClear, and Smart Bladder. Auto EF and TDI are optional features.

Question 13

How many presets are available?

Accepted Answer

The TE Air iP3 comes with 11 exam presets, optimized for cardiac, abdominal, thoracic/pleural, urology, and cephalic applications.
