National Ultrasound

What National Ultrasound does

National Ultrasound, operating in connection with Probo Medical, is a privately held US-headquartered provider of new and refurbished diagnostic imaging equipment and lifecycle services, founded in 2003 and operating from Duluth / Fishers, Indiana with a satellite facility in West Jordan, Utah and an international headquarters in Gloucester, United Kingdom, plus storefronts in France and Canada. The company sells, rents, repairs, and refurbishes diagnostic imaging systems spanning ultrasound (Philips EPIQ, GE Vivid/Voluson/LOGIQ, Mindray DP/M8/DC), MRI scanners, CT scanners, C-arms, X-ray, PET/CT, nuclear medicine, BMD, and patient monitoring devices, with refurbishing conducted under an ISO 13485 certified Quality Management System and repairs backed by a 90-day warranty. The product offering is rounded out with parts and accessories (ultrasound probes, MRI coils, biomedical replacement parts), applications and service training, MRI cryo storage, disaster recovery and decontamination, and install/deinstall services.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market model: enterprise field sales handled by named account managers (e.g., Glenn Josephik, Joe Hicks, Mark Asmer, Tim Maltby, Enrico Franchini) targeting hospitals, cardiology practices, women's health clinics, imaging centers, pain management practices, and veterinary providers; a direct e-commerce storefront carrying thousands of in-stock systems; rentals of ultrasound machines and probes for short- and long-term needs; financing and group purchasing contracts through GPO partnerships; and field service engineers performing on-site repair, maintenance, and installation. Revenue is generated across hardware sales (new and refurbished), equipment rentals, service and repair, applications and service training, parts and accessories, financing and warranty programs, and equipment buyback/resale — with quote-based, transactionally priced contracts rather than disclosed enterprise subscription pricing.

Customers are diversified across large hospitals, specialty practices (cardiology, OB/GYN/women's health, pain management), multi-modality imaging centers, and veterinary providers in the US, UK, France, and Canada. The operating model scales through a broad inventory position across modalities and OEMs, ISO 13485 certified refurbishment, and a lifecycle service stack designed to capture recurring aftermarket revenue; employee count is reported in the 11–50 range, and revenue has not been publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Avante Health Solutions: US-based provider of new and refurbished medical imaging equipment, surgical tables, and biomedical services to hospitals and surgery centers. Closely comparable as a multi-modality refurbisher and reseller serving similar customer segments as Probo Medical.
• Block Imaging: Refurbished MRI, CT, and X-ray imaging equipment vendor offering sales, rental, service, and parts. Direct competitor to Probo Medical's multi-modality refurbishing and imaging equipment distribution business.
• Soma Tech Intl: Refurbisher and distributor of medical and surgical equipment including imaging, monitors, and anesthesia. Comparable as a pre-owned medical equipment wholesaler with similar refurbishing, sales, and service offerings.
• Integrity Medical Systems: Independent service organization and refurbished imaging equipment provider for MRI, CT, and other modalities. Comparable as a third-party imaging service and refurbishing peer serving hospitals and imaging centers.
• Radiological Imaging Services: Independent provider of refurbished imaging systems, parts, and field service for hospitals and imaging centers. Direct comparable in the third-party diagnostic imaging equipment channel.

Emerging players

• US Med-Equip: Rentals and sales of refurbished movable medical equipment with strong hospital and IDN relationships. Partial overlap with Probo's rental and used-equipment model, though focused on a broader equipment set including patient monitoring.
• TridentCare: Provider of diagnostic imaging services and mobile imaging solutions to healthcare facilities. Adjacent peer that also operates in the refurbished/portable imaging space, particularly for ultrasound and X-ray.

Broad incumbents

• GE HealthCare: Major OEM of ultrasound (Vivid, Voluson, LOGIQ), MRI, CT, and other imaging systems. Probo refurbishes and resells many GE systems; GE's certified pre-owned and service programs compete directly with Probo's value proposition.
• Philips Healthcare: OEM of EPIQ and other premium ultrasound systems as well as broader imaging portfolio. Probo is both a refurbisher of Philips systems and a competitor at the affordable/used tier of the same product category.
• Mindray: Global OEM of affordable ultrasound and patient monitoring systems that Probo distributes and refurbishes. Comparable as a broad incumbent in lower-priced ultrasound, increasingly competing in segments Probo serves.
