Description
The PMT Premium Portable Ultrasound Machine is a handheld therapeutic ultrasound device running at 1 megahertz. Three intensity levels and an automatic thirty minute timer keep sessions simple to run. The sound head is a piezoelectric crystal design, and the unit is used with ultrasound gel as the maker directs.
- 1 MHz output – a pulsed 1 megahertz output with a 150 hertz repetition rate
- Three intensities – low, medium and high settings on the unit
- Auto timer – sessions time out automatically at thirty minutes
- Handheld format – the main unit measures about 17 cm long and travels easily
About the PMT Premium Portable Ultrasound Machine
The manufacturer’s specification lists a temporal maximum power of 4 watts and a maximum effective intensity of 1.57 watts per square centimeter. The effective radiating area is 6.16 square centimeters with a beam non-uniformity ratio rated at a maximum of 5.6. Those are the maker’s own published figures for the PM3000.
The maker directs that the machine always be used with ultrasound gel, which carries the sound waves into the body during treatment. Pain Management Technologies publishes a one year warranty on its devices. This listing is one unit in the manufacturer’s packaging.

Why Choose This Product
Portable ultrasound units often publish little more than a frequency, while this maker publishes the full output specification for the PM3000. Buyers can compare radiating area, intensity and beam uniformity before ordering instead of after.
- Full published specs – power, intensity, radiating area and beam ratio are all stated
- Simple session control – three intensities and an automatic thirty minute timer
- Handheld format – a compact unit for clinic rooms or home treatment spaces
- Maker warranty policy – devices carry a one year warranty under the published PMT policy
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this machine need ultrasound gel?
Yes. The manufacturer directs that the machine always be used with ultrasound gel, which transfers the sound waves into the body. Running it without gel lowers effectiveness and can damage the device, per the maker.
What frequency does it run at?
One megahertz, plus or minus ten percent, in a pulsed wave shape. The repetition rate is 150 hertz and the pulse width is 2 milliseconds, per the maker’s specification.
How long is a session?
The automatic timer setting runs to thirty minutes. Intensity is chosen from low, medium and high settings on the unit.
What warranty applies?
The published policy from the manufacturer covers devices for one year. That policy covers the device, with accessories outside the device coverage.
How large is the treatment head area?
The effective radiating area is 6.16 square centimeters per the manufacturer. The beam non-uniformity ratio is rated at a maximum of 5.6.
