Powersite PSM-HD Handheld X-Ray Source

What Is the Powersite PSM-HD?

PSM-HD is a handheld X-ray source series developed by the Chinese X-ray generator manufacturer Suzhou Powersite Electric. The one-handed body, integrated touchscreen and wireless exposure control let it work both handheld and stand-mounted.

The series comprises three models, selected according to the anatomy you image:

	PSM-HD210S5	PSM-HD450	PSM-HD900
Nominal power	210 W	450 W	900 W
kV range	40 – 70 kV	40 – 90 kV	40 – 90 kV
mA range	1 – 3 mA	2 – 5 mA	2 – 10 mA
Focal spot	0.4 mm	0.8 mm	0.8 mm
Anode target angle	12°	19°	19°
Dimensions (L×W×H)	241 × 130 × 91.5 mm	266.4 × 218.4 × 157.7 mm	266.4 × 218.4 × 157.7 mm
Weight	< 1.4 kg	≤ 2.8 kg	≤ 3 kg
Operating temperature	0 – 40 °C	−20 – 40 °C	−20 – 40 °C
Exposures per charge	200+	150+	150+
Communication	RS232 / WiFi	RS232 / WiFi	RS232 / WiFi

Which model for which job?

• PSM-HD210S5 (210 W) — the lightest option at under 1.4 kg. Its fine 0.4 mm focal spot favours small-field, high-resolution work: hand, wrist, foot and dental/maxillofacial. Suited to long handheld field sessions and paediatric or extremity-heavy workflows.
• PSM-HD450 (450 W) — the balanced option. Reaching 90 kV takes it past the extremities into shoulder and thicker tissue.
• PSM-HD900 (900 W) — the most powerful in the series. Up to 10 mA and shorter exposure times reduce motion blur in chest and torso imaging; preferred for high-volume screening programmes.

Key Features

• Compact and portable — single-person field setup from a shoulder bag
• Wireless exposure control — remote triggering over WiFi lowers operator dose
• Long battery life — 150+ or 200+ exposures per charge depending on model
• Anatomical touchscreen menu — kV/mA/time presets by body region
• Wide operating temperature — down to −20 °C on the HD450 and HD900
• Dual use — handheld or tripod/stand mounted

Applications

• Occupational health screening — rapid chest PA in a mobile occupational health vehicle (HD900)
• Orthopaedics and emergency — extremity and trauma assessment
• Home healthcare — bedside imaging without patient transfer
• Veterinary clinics — small animal and field work
• Forensic and field teams — locations with no fixed X-ray room

Building the Digital System

PSM-HD is an X-ray source; the image comes from the flat panel detector it is paired with. As the official Turkish distributor for iRay, we deliver turnkey installations:

• iRay Mars 1417V Wireless Flat Panel Detector — the 14×17″ panel most often paired with handheld sources
• iRay Mars 1717V Wireless Flat Panel Detector — 17×17″ general radiography

For panel selection, read our wired vs wireless flat panel detector comparison.

Handheld or Portable Generator?

The handheld PSM-HD series offers maximum freedom of movement; for routine torso radiography that demands higher output, a 1.6 kW class portable generator such as the Poskom AirRay-20 is the better fit. We collected the decision criteria in our portable X-ray selection guide.

Radiation Safety and Regulation

With handheld X-ray units the operator works close to the patient and the beam, so personal protective equipment, a backscatter shield and dosimetry are critical. In Türkiye, installation and use of medical X-ray equipment is subject to authorisation by the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NDK); Dentem supplies the installation, acceptance testing and licensing documentation.
