Imex Elite 100/R Handheld Dopplers
The Imex Elite 100 is a trusted handheld Doppler platform used across Canadian clinical settings — from busy antenatal clinics and midwifery practices to vascular and wound care services. Compact, reliable, and built around a flexible probe system, the Elite 100 lets you configure a device precisely matched to your clinical application. Whether you need a single-probe obstetric unit, a dual-probe fetal and vascular setup, or a fully vascular-focused instrument, the range covers it. Surgo stocks every device configuration, every probe, and every consumable in the Elite 100 ecosystem.
Understanding the Elite 100 Range
The Imex Elite 100 is an audio-only Doppler — it delivers a clear audible signal without a digital BPM display. This makes it a lightweight, straightforward instrument well-suited to practitioners who interpret Doppler signals by ear, as is standard practice in many obstetric and vascular assessments. The Elite 100R variant adds a rechargeable NiMH battery for practices looking to reduce ongoing battery costs.
All Elite 100 devices ship without a display. If a digital heart rate readout is a clinical requirement, see the Imex Elite 200/R range.
Imex Elite 100 — Obstetric Configurations
Imex Elite 100 Handheld Doppler With 3 MHz Obstetric Probe (No Display) The entry-level obstetric configuration. The 3 MHz probe is the standard frequency for routine fetal heart rate monitoring and covers the majority of antenatal clinical presentations from approximately 12 weeks gestation onward. A clean, reliable choice for midwifery clinics and GP practices focused on prenatal care.
Imex Elite 100 Handheld Doppler With 2 & 3 MHz Obstetric Probes (No Display) A dual obstetric probe bundle covering both standard and challenging fetal monitoring scenarios. The 3 MHz probe handles routine assessments, while the 2 MHz probe offers deeper penetration for patients where body habitus or fetal position makes signal acquisition more difficult. A practical all-in-one obstetric configuration for high-volume antenatal settings.
Imex Elite 100R Handheld Doppler With 3 MHz Obstetric Probe (No Display, Rechargeable) The rechargeable version of the standard obstetric Elite 100. Powered by a NiMH 9V rechargeable battery, the 100R is suited to high-use clinical environments where battery management and running costs are a consideration. Compatible with all Elite 100 obstetric and vascular probes.
Imex Elite 100 — Vascular Configurations
Imex Elite 100 Handheld Doppler With 5 MHz Vascular Probe (No Display) A focused vascular configuration for mid-depth peripheral vessel assessment. The 5 MHz probe balances penetration depth and signal resolution, making it well-suited to general vascular screening, ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement, and assessment of femoral, popliteal, and tibial vessels.
Imex Elite 100 Handheld Doppler With 8 MHz Vascular Probe (No Display) The 8 MHz configuration delivers high-resolution signal detection for superficial and small-calibre vessels. Ideal for podiatric assessments, diabetic foot screening, digital artery evaluation, and wound care — where precise detection of distal pulses is clinically important.
Imex Elite 100 Handheld Doppler With 5 & 8 MHz Vascular Probes (No Display) The complete vascular bundle. With both 5 MHz and 8 MHz probes, this configuration covers the full spectrum of peripheral vascular assessment — from deep lower limb vessels through to superficial distal sites. The recommended choice for dedicated vascular clinics and practitioners performing a broad range of vascular studies.
Imex Elite 100 — Combined Obstetric & Vascular Configurations
Imex Elite 100 With 2 MHz Obstetric & 5 MHz Vascular Probes (No Display) Combines deep-penetration obstetric monitoring with mid-depth vascular assessment. A practical dual-application bundle for practices managing both antenatal care and vascular screening within the same clinical environment.
Imex Elite 100 With 2 MHz Obstetric & 8 MHz Vascular Probes (No Display) Pairs the 2 MHz obstetric probe for difficult fetal detection with the 8 MHz vascular probe for superficial vessel assessment. Suited to practices where both high-BMI fetal monitoring and distal vascular evaluation are regular clinical requirements.
Imex Elite 100 With 3 MHz Obstetric & 5 MHz Vascular Probes (No Display) A versatile general-purpose bundle combining standard fetal monitoring with mid-depth vascular capability. An efficient choice for multidisciplinary clinics or community health settings offering both antenatal and vascular services under one roof.
Imex Elite 100 With 3 MHz Obstetric & 8 MHz Vascular Probes (No Display) Combines routine fetal monitoring with high-resolution superficial vascular assessment. Well-suited to clinics managing standard antenatal care alongside diabetic foot monitoring, wound care, or peripheral vascular screening.
Imex Elite 100 — Main Unit & Build-Your-Own
Imex Elite 100 Handheld Doppler Main Unit Only (No Probes or Accessories) The Elite 100 device body without probes or accessories — ideal for practices replacing a unit body while retaining existing probes, or for those building a custom configuration by selecting probes separately. Compatible with all Imex Elite obstetric and vascular probes stocked by Surgo.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Imex Elite 100
What does "no display" mean on the Imex Elite 100? The Elite 100 is an audio-only Doppler — it produces a clear audible Doppler signal but does not have a screen showing a numeric heart rate or BPM reading. Many experienced clinicians prefer audio-only Dopplers for their simplicity and reliability. If a digital BPM display is required for your practice or documentation protocols, the Imex Elite 200/R adds that functionality.
What is the difference between the Elite 100 and the Elite 100R? The Elite 100R is the rechargeable variant of the standard Elite 100, powered by a NiMH 9V rechargeable battery rather than a standard disposable battery. Both models are otherwise identical in clinical function and probe compatibility. The 100R is suited to high-use settings where reducing battery consumption and cost over time is a priority.
Are Imex Elite probes interchangeable between the 100 and 200 series? Yes — Imex Elite obstetric and vascular probes are compatible across both the Elite 100 and Elite 200 series device bodies. This makes it straightforward to share probes between devices or upgrade a device body without replacing your existing probes.
Which probe frequency should I choose for fetal monitoring? The 3 MHz probe is the standard choice for routine fetal heart rate monitoring and covers the vast majority of antenatal presentations. The 2 MHz probe offers deeper tissue penetration for cases where the 3 MHz signal is difficult to acquire — such as patients with higher BMI or challenging fetal positions. Many antenatal settings keep both probes available.
Which vascular probe is best for ABI measurement? The 5 MHz probe is the most commonly used frequency for ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement and general lower limb arterial assessment, offering the right balance of penetration depth and signal clarity for femoral, popliteal, and tibial vessels. The 8 MHz probe is better suited to more superficial distal vessels such as pedal pulses and digital arteries.
Can I buy just the probes without a device? Yes — Surgo stocks all Imex Elite obstetric and vascular probes as standalone items, as well as the Elite 100 main unit body without probes. This allows you to replace a damaged probe, add a new frequency to an existing device, or build a custom configuration suited to your practice.
