The Mindray TE5 is a portable ultrasound system with a 15-inch touch screen, designed for anesthetists and physicians and moved room to room for bedside scanning. Its linear transducers are listed for MSK, nerve and vascular work; the C5-2s convex adds OB/GYN and the C11-3s micro-convex adds cardiac. The TE5 shares its FDA clearances with the TE7, and the 2021 clearance K203391 adds the TE5 Max, TE7 Max and TE9.

What to check when buying a used Mindray TE5
Ask whether any probe has suffered an impact
A probe that has taken an impact can become defective and give the patient an electric shock.
How: Ask about every probe offered with the unit, and reject any probe that shows an abnormality.
Inspect each probe's lens, housing and cable
A probe with peeling, cracks, bumps or signs of liquid spill has reached the end of its service life.
How: Look over each probe's surface and cable sheath for peeling, cracks, protruding parts or a loose acoustic lens.
Check the unit's openings for liquid damage
Liquid must never be poured or sprayed on the main unit or reach its connections and openings, and a unit that shows damage must be taken out of use.
How: Look at the handle, probe sockets, ventilation holes, loudspeaker and the I/O and power panel sockets for signs that liquid or disinfectant got in.
Inspect probe connectors and sockets for corrosion
The probe connector is not waterproof, and disinfectant on connectors or metal parts can cause corrosion.
How: Look for corrosion and fluid marks on each probe connector and on the unit's probe sockets, and freeze the image or power off before plugging or unplugging a probe.
Common questions about the Mindray TE5
Is the Mindray TE5 FDA-cleared?
Yes. The TE5 is FDA-cleared under 510(k) as a Class II device, regulation 892.1550, product code IYN. Its clearances are K161525, decided July 13, 2016; K180912, decided July 30, 2018; and K203391, decided March 23, 2021.
How is the Mindray TE5 different from the TE7?
The two are cleared together in K161525, K180912 and K203391. In measurement tools, the TE7 has Double Dist, Depth, Parallel line, Spline length, Cross and Trace Len, while the TE5 lacks Double Dist and Depth. In its US catalog, Mindray places the TE7 under point of care and the TE5 under private office.
What is the difference between the Mindray TE5 and the TE5 Max?
The TE5 Max was cleared in K203391 on March 23, 2021, with the TE7/TE5 clearance K180912 as its predicate. Their measurement tools differ: the TE5 Max has Double Dist, the TE5 has Parallel line and Spline length, both have Cross and Trace Len, and neither has Depth.
Is the Mindray TE5 SP the same machine as the TE5?
Mindray offers them as separate models. The TE5 SP is a TE-Series point-of-care machine for procedural guidance and focused assessments, while the TE5 sits under private office in Mindray's US catalog.
What warranty and software updates come with a Mindray TE5?
Bought directly from Mindray, a TE5 carries a standard five-year warranty covering the system and parts, standard transducers and on-site labor for cart repairs. Warranties on systems bought through Mindray's agents vary.
Under Living Technology, Mindray ultrasound systems include 5 years of software updates, and updates and upgrades are free for systems under warranty, installation not included. New application packages and hardware are optional purchases.
