Always buy from an authorized dealer!
Yes, Mindray ultrasound systems currently offer the best price-to-performance ratio in the medical imaging market, often costing 20-30% less than equivalent models from GE or Philips. However, where you buy matters significantly. JayXray confirms that purchasing through an authorized direct distributor is the only way to guarantee the 5-year warranty. This also secures the “Living Technology” software updates that prevent premature obsolescence.

The Direct Distributor Advantage: Nuance & Experience
In our experience, many clinics try to save money by purchasing “grey market” Mindray units from unauthorized online resellers. This is a critical mistake. We recently worked with a vascular clinic that bought a “new” DC-80 from a third-party site, only to find it had a voided warranty and outdated software that couldn’t bill for 2025 CPT codes.
Unlike the standard advice to “just compare specs,” JayXray recommends you verify the seller’s distributor status immediately.
- Support: Authorized units receive direct support from Mindray North America’s clinical team.
- Updates: You get the “Living Technology” promise—5 years of software patches that keep your machine clinically relevant.
- Service: We ensure your biomedical engineers have access to the service keys and manuals required for on-site repairs.
