A Bluetooth Ultrasonic Device

Technical Field This invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic device, in particular to a Bluetooth ultrasonic device.

Background Technology One of the most important parts of the frequently-used ultrasonic diagnostic instrument is the ultrasonic probe. Now all ultrasonic probes need to be used by wiring the host machine. There are several disadvantages of wiring the probe:

Because the joint with the probe is often at a right angle or acute angle, the rubber at the joint will be aging and fracture after a long time, which will affect the use;

The effect of the power cables when the machine is used beside the bed and the bed position and limited space of ICU on the machine as well as the wiring limit of the probe affect the scanning operation of the ultrasound doctor;

One instrument will be equipped with 3-4 ultrasonic probes, each of which has wiring, which will cause wire winding, thus affecting the use by workers;

The probe wires will be in direct contact with the exposed skin surface of the patient, thus causing pollution. Doctors tend to ignore routine wire disinfection, which increases the risk of secondary nosocomial infection. Therefore, this invention proposes a Bluetooth ultrasonic device to solve the problems in existing technology.

Invention Summary In view of the above problems, the purpose of this invention is to propose a Bluetooth ultrasonic device, for which a Bluetooth receiver is inserted on the ultrasonic diagnosis instrument through a USB interface, and a Bluetooth module is built in the ultrasonic probe.
