Buying guides
What should be included in a handheld ultrasound quotation?
The probe price is one part of the decision. Use this checklist to review the exact version, accessories, software, delivery, returns and written warranty together.

A clear quotation should make a purchase easier to review. For a handheld ultrasound system, that means identifying the complete configuration and the conditions around it, rather than comparing two headline prices that may include different things.
Before you accept an offer, use the following checklist to find out what you are buying, what it will cost to receive it and what happens if you need help.
Start with the exact equipment
The quotation should identify the model, version, quantity and included scanning formats or modes. If a model name has a prefix or a version suffix, make sure it matches the product documents and the equipment being supplied.
For the current Visfero range, CProbe-5P is the dedicated high-frequency linear model, and UProbe-2C is the B/BM black-and-white convex model. Match the Visfero name, supplied configuration and manufacturer documentation in the written quotation.
List every included item
Request an itemized package. Depending on the offer, a display device, charging accessory, protective case, stand or optional attachment may need separate confirmation. A phone or tablet in a reference image is not proof that it comes with the scanner.
If you will use equipment you already own, tell the seller. That can turn a vague “compatible with mobile devices” statement into a check of your actual phone or tablet and operating-system version.
Identify the software and ownership questions
Ask for the app name, provider, version requirements and official download instructions. Confirm the functions that are included and identify any optional service separately. Our supplier has stated that standard scanner app use does not require a mandatory subscription. The written offer should still identify the actual software and included scope.
If image export, storage, clinical IT integration or access management matters to your organization, ask about that workflow explicitly. Do not assume that cloud storage, a particular export format or a third-party integration is included because a system has an app.
Review the complete delivered cost
Visfero website prices are indicative starting prices in US dollars. Your written quotation should confirm the item price and currency, shipping charge and any other agreed charges. It should also explain responsibility for import duties, taxes, brokerage and clearance.
Our planned route is supplier-direct shipping from Guangzhou, mainland China. Dispatch timing and transit estimates are separate. Ask who will act as importer, what destination restrictions apply and what happens if the promised dispatch date cannot be met. We do not currently publish a universal duty-paid price or a fixed delivery time.
Check the documents alongside the price
Request the manufacturer instructions and the documentation relevant to the exact model and destination. Intended use, operator requirements, warnings and operating conditions are part of the equipment decision. A listing or a general supplier assurance is not a substitute for those documents.
For current Visfero listings, model-specific intended-use and destination sales documents remain under review, and online ordering is not open. We must complete the relevant checks before accepting a sale.
Read returns and warranty as separate terms
The current Visfero non-defect return window is 7 calendar days after delivery to request a return. Opening solely for inspection is allowed when the equipment remains unused, clean and complete. Actual clinical use or body-fluid exposure excludes a non-defect return; defect remedies and mandatory rights remain available.
Our supplier has confirmed an 18-month manufacturer warranty for the planned range. Ask for the written start date, covered components, exclusions and service arrangements. The return window, warranty period and expected repair time are different things. A first support response within one business day is not a promise that a repair will be completed that day.
Keep a short approval checklist
- Model, version, quantity and included modes match the documents.
- App, display device and accessories are clearly identified.
- Complete cost, currency and import responsibilities are written down.
- Dispatch commitment and estimated transit are stated separately.
- Return condition, transport costs and written warranty are understood.
- The seller and technical or after-sales contact are clear.
Save the final quotation with the related correspondence. If something remains unclear, ask for an answer before payment or order acceptance.
Prepare a quotation enquiry, read Shipping & Delivery and Returns & Refunds, or start with the FAQ.
