Wireless Ultrasound Probe With Audible Indicator

A wireless ultrasound probe which transmits image data wirelessly to a host system comprising:

• an array transducer;
• an acquisition circuit coupled to the array transducer;
• a transceiver coupled to the acquisition circuit which acts to wirelessly transmit image information signals to the host system;
• a battery which operates to provide energizing potential to the array transducer, the acquisition circuit, and the transceiver;
• a probe case housing the array transducer, acquisition circuit, transceiver and battery;
• and
• a loudspeaker which acts to issue an audible tone during use of the probe,
• wherein the loudspeaker is further operable to issue an audible tone when the transceiver signal strength is poor.
