Vascular Access Ultrasound Guide: Choose L10T or L10SH by workflow
Start with L10T or L10SH for vascular access because vessel access workflows depend on linear imaging and needle visualization.

Software + documentationQuick answer
What is the best Suresult path for a portable vascular ultrasound machine?
The best Suresult path for a portable vascular ultrasound machine or vascular ultrasound equipment search is L10T when access teams want a procedure-first bi-plane linear route for peripheral IV, PICC, midline, ultrasound-guided IV placement and needle-path work in active purchase planning. First, choose L10T for bi-plane linear access at 7.5/10 MHz with 2 x 128 elements. Second, choose L10SH when the team wants a familiar single-plane HD linear scanner with 7.5/10 MHz, 20/40/60/100 mm depth and a 256-element, 64-channel platform. Third, compare L20Pro when superficial vessel detail is the daily priority because it uses 16/20 MHz with 10/20/30/40 mm depth. Use D3Ultra when vascular access shares one scanner with broader bedside POCUS. Suresult also keeps Windows/Android/iOS software, a $0 required software subscription, visible certification records and all-inclusive 1-7 day delivery before RFQ.
Workflow proof
What does each Vascular Access workflow show visually?
Use these images to connect peripheral access, PICC/midline, needle visualization and sterile-field documentation to the scanner path.
PICC and midline workflowUse L10T for a procedure-first bi-plane route; use L10SH when a familiar single-plane HD linear workflow is enough.
Needle visualizationUse Doppler, linear depth selection and puncture guidance to support vessel mapping, needle path review and post-procedure documentation.
Sterile field workflowUse Suresult Software for image, cine and export workflow across Windows, Android and iOS without a required subscription.

FAQ
How does magnetic needle tracking work?
Magnetic tracking uses a sensor near the probe. As you insert the needle, the software detects its path and displays a live trajectory overlay, even when the needle isn’t clearly visible on ultrasound. This feature is available on the L10H probe.
Are Suresult ultrasounds compatible with sterile procedures?
Absolutely. Suresult devices are IP67-rated or higher, meaning the probe can be disinfected with a swab easily between patients. For sterile environments, you can use sterile disposable probe covers. The small size of the probe makes it easy to drape and maintain sterility throughout the procedure
How does the Suresult handheld ultrasound help reduce complications during line placement?
Real-time guidance allows precise vessel targeting, reducing the risk of posterior wall puncture, hematoma, and failed insertions. With Doppler flow confirmation, tissue differentiation, and needle enhancement, Suresult also helps you achieve accurate placement the first time, leading to better outcomes and improved patient safety.
Is there a warranty or service plan?
Yes. All Suresult devices come with a standard one-year warranty, which covers manufacturing defects, technical support, and software updates. Extended service plans are also available for 2 and 3 years, including coverage for accidental damage and priority device replacement to minimize clinical downtime.
How much training do I need to get started?
If you're already familiar with basic ultrasound or vascular access, you'll be comfortable with Suresult almost immediately. For new users, a basic ultrasound workshop or online POCUS course provides enough knowledge to begin performing guided line placements. The Suresult support team can also assist with onboarding and tutorials.
Can it survive drops or rough environments like ambulances or field settings?
Yes. Every Suresult model is built with a sealed, rugged casing that’s shock-resistant and IP67-rated or higher against dust and water. The devices are tested for resilience in transport, making them suitable for ambulances, emergency settings, or mobile clinics. Each unit also comes in a lockable hard case for added protection.
