Mindray DC-40 Review:
The Mindray DC-40 was introduced into the 2016 market with the most new and advanced hardware and software packages. Although it is an entry-level product, the Mindray DC-40 improves user interface with a large 19 inch LCD monitor and 10.4 inch touch screen. It provides one level, higher image performance with premium image algorithms and high performance L14-7NE linear probes. Compared to its competitors such as the SonoScape S12 and S22, the Mindray DC-40 performs better in the Doppler feature and is stable in linear image quality with detail resolution. Due to the cost-effectiveness and its wide clinical acceptabilities both human and vet applications, the Mindray DC-40 is gaining popular at vet clinics for small vet and private clinics covering in shared services.
