Is the Waterproof Rating Important for Livestock Ultrasound Machines?
IPX7 Protection Test Video Revealed
In high-humidity, high-dust, and high-intensity environments like cattle farms, sheep pens, and pigsties, livestock veterinarians face not only the animals themselves but also mud, disinfectant, sweat, and unexpected splashes every day. A good veterinary ultrasound machine must not only provide clear images and be easy to operate but also withstand the harsh conditions of the farm.
So, how important is the waterproof rating? Is IPX7 just a parameter, or a critical safety net for protecting the equipment?
Boxianglai’s IPX7 protection test video reveals the answer. In the test video, the ultrasound probe was directly immersed in water for 30 minutes. After being removed and connected to the main unit, the image remained stable and clear, with no water ingress, short circuits, or signal loss. This is not a laboratory “show,” but a real simulation of various accidents that may occur in a farm—such as being knocked over by animals during operation, spilled medication, or outdoor diagnosis in rainy weather.
IPX7 indicates that the probe is completely dustproof and can withstand short-term immersion in water. For users, this means that even if they slip and fall in the cattle shed or make a house call in the rain, the equipment will not “break down”; it means you can focus on diagnosis without constantly worrying about protecting the machine.
For veterinarians who frequently travel for work, breeding supervisors of large-scale farms, and farmers who value equipment durability, choosing a livestock ultrasound machine with IPX7 protection is not just about peace of mind, but also about adding an extra layer of protection to the stability and efficiency of daily work.
