Compatible probes for the Toshiba JustVision 200 and JustVision 400 are supplied by independent vendors at 40–70% below original OEM pricing, since Canon Medical no longer supports this console generation. The JustVision shares its probe family with the Capasee (SSA-220A) of the same era, and the transducers most often listed for it cover convex, linear, and endocavity work. Faulty originals can usually be repaired instead, at roughly 30–60% of the cost of replacement.
Probes Commonly Listed for the JustVision 200 / 400
The JustVision was Toshiba’s compact whole-body console of its generation — light enough at around 16 kg to move between rooms on a cart — and it takes the G-series probe connector shared with the Capasee. The models that appear consistently in third-party compatibility listings are:
| Probe Model | Array Type | Frequency | Typical Clinical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVG-366M | Convex | 3.75 MHz dual-frequency | Abdominal and obstetric scanning |
| PVG-601V | Micro-convex endocavity | 5.0 / 6.0 / 7.0 MHz selectable | OB/GYN endovaginal examinations |
| PLG-308P | Linear | ~3.0 MHz class | General linear imaging |
| PLG-506M | Linear | 5 MHz class | Small parts, superficial and peripheral vascular work |
The convex probes on this platform switch between multiple frequencies, which is why a single PVG-366M can cover both deep abdominal penetration and somewhat finer near-field work. Note that probe support is set by console software as well as by the connector: a probe listed for the JustVision 400 is not automatically recognized by a JustVision 200, and vice versa. Have the supplier confirm the match in writing against your console model and serial number, and treat the model number printed on your existing probe housing as the ordering reference.
The OEM Channel Is Closed — What That Means for Buyers
Original G-series probes went out of production years ago. What circulates today is used stock with unknown scan hours, refurbished units, and newly built compatible transducers. For a clinic keeping a JustVision in service, a new compatible probe is usually the more defensible buy than a used original: zero hours on the array, a stated warranty, and — from any supplier worth dealing with — an element-by-element acoustic test report for the specific serial number shipped. That report is the difference between a verified instrument and a gamble; a probe can render a plausible image while a cluster of weak elements sits below specification, and older consoles have no way to compensate.
Repair First: The Cheaper Route for Most Faults
Before pricing a replacement, identify how your current probe failed. The faults we see most on probes of this age are cable conductor breaks near the strain relief (intermittent image when the cable flexes), worn or lifting lenses, connector pin damage, and limited element dropout showing as dark vertical bands. All of these are established repairs at 30–60% of replacement cost, with a standard turnaround of 5–10 business days from receipt — see the probe repair service page for the full scope. Repair also preserves the original OEM array, which some clinical engineering departments prefer on principle.
Replacement becomes the right call when the array itself is damaged: a dropped probe with large blank image regions, widespread element failure, or fluid ingress into the acoustic stack. The repair evaluation will tell you which side of that line your probe sits on before you commit. Sending a probe in for assessment costs freight and a few days; buying a replacement that was never needed costs considerably more, so the evaluation is worth doing even when you suspect the worst.
One practical note on endocavity units such as the PVG-601V: repeated high-level disinfection ages the lens and housing seals faster than on surface probes, and a compromised seal is a patient-contact safety issue. Any repaired or replacement endocavity probe should come with confirmation of electrical leakage-current testing in addition to the acoustic report.
What to Include in Your Inquiry
Quotations for this platform are prepared case by case. Send the probe model and part number from the housing label, the console model (JustVision 200 or 400) and serial number, a description of the fault with a screenshot of the image artifact if available, and whether you want a repair quote, a replacement quote, or both for comparison. A photo of the connector face settles compatibility immediately. If you also run later Toshiba consoles, the Toshiba probe overview lists the transducers we supply and repair across all generations, so several probes can travel in one shipment and one evaluation cycle.
