If you are a mobile equine vet covering long rural routes, a cattle producer tracking herd reproductive cycles, or a sheep farmer monitoring your flock through breeding season, having a dependable portable ultrasound machine within reach can transform the way you work. The SIUI CTS-800 has earned a strong reputation as one of the most trusted portable ultrasound scanners available today, and the reasons are clear. Combining solid build quality, smart ergonomic design and broad clinical versatility, it delivers outstanding value for veterinary professionals and agricultural producers who need a machine they can count on every single day.

Why the CTS-800 Belongs in Your Kit Bag

Weighing in at under one kilogram, the CTS-800 takes portability seriously. It will not slow you down across long days in the field, and its compact footprint means it slides into a kit bag without crowding out the rest of your gear. Do not let the light weight fool you, though. This machine is engineered to handle the day-to-day demands of farm and veterinary work without missing a beat. The main unit holds an IP64 environmental rating, and the probe head steps up to IP67, providing dependable protection against dust and water in both cases. Muddy paddocks, wet weather and unpredictable outdoor conditions are simply part of the job, and the CTS-800 is built with that in mind.

Crystal-Clear Imaging Where You Need It Most

The CTS-800 is equipped with a bright seven-inch LCD monitor that delivers sharp, readable imaging across B, 2B, Zoom B, B/M and M modes. A standout feature is the integrated gravity sensor, which automatically flips your image vertically or horizontally based on how you are holding the unit. It is a small detail that makes a real difference when you are working in tight or awkward positions, which anyone experienced in large animal practice will immediately appreciate.

All-Day Battery Performance

Nothing derails a busy schedule quite like a dead battery at the wrong moment. The CTS-800 ships with a 4.5-hour lithium battery as standard, giving you a solid working window before recharging becomes necessary. Whether you are running back-to-back farm calls or managing an extended on-site scanning session, that battery life offers genuine confidence throughout the day.

Two Probe Options to Match Your Work

The CTS-800 is offered with a choice of two linear rectal probes, so you can select the configuration that lines up with your specific needs.

The L5FVC (64mm, 4 to 6.2MHz) features a larger footprint and lower frequency, making it a strong option for larger animals and deeper tissue work. The L7FVC (50mm, 6.5 to 9MHz) delivers a smaller footprint and higher frequency, providing the finer resolution needed for more detailed diagnostic imaging.

One thing to keep in mind: the CTS-800 is not compatible with a dedicated tendon probe. That said, a large number of equine vets routinely adapt the rectal probe for tendon work with great results, so for most practitioners this is not a meaningful drawback.

Reproductive Software Covering the Species You Work With

The CTS-800 comes loaded with reproductive software covering equine, bovine, ovine, canine, feline and primate species, making it a genuinely versatile tool across a wide range of clinical settings. Add to that a full measurement toolkit spanning distance, area, circumference, volume, angle and heart rate, and you have a scanner that is ready to perform across virtually any agricultural or veterinary scenario you can throw at it.

Personalized for Your Practice

Veterinary practices looking to reinforce their professional identity will appreciate the option to have the CTS-800 preconfigured with your practice name at no additional cost. It is a simple touch that gives your equipment a polished, personalized look right out of the box.

The Goggles Question

Goggles are a topic that tends to stir up lively debate among veterinary professionals. Some practitioners rely on them heavily, valuing the way they cut out screen glare and prevent dirt from obscuring the display, especially when working outdoors in bright conditions. Others prefer to go without, citing concerns about reduced peripheral vision and diminished situational awareness. They tend to be more widely used among bovine vets than equine practitioners, and most users ultimately choose not to include them in their setup.

If you have worked with goggles before and know they improve your workflow, the latest 2022 model is available as an add-on. Please note that orders including goggles require an extended lead time of approximately two weeks, as these are sourced specially to order.

Two-Year Warranty Included as Standard

Every CTS-800 comes backed by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty, giving you solid assurance that your investment is covered. For equipment that sees heavy daily use in demanding environments, that level of protection is not a small thing.
