What Every Biomed Should Know About Ultrasound Probe Arrays As an HTM professional, you’re constantly troubleshooting equipment. But what happens when an ultrasound probe isn’t producing clear images—despite looking perfectly …
Let’s Focus on the Lens
We’re going to begin a series focusing on some of the key components within an ultrasound probe. Some of these components are high failure items, while others, you may think, …
Leakage Test Failures
Did you know? Just because your leakage meter reports a test failure, it doesn’t mean that the probe is at fault. Leakage test failures can be confusing. This post will …
Test Your Ultrasound IQ
Each week, our team provides tech support to dozens of Innovatus clients. We thought that we’d share one scenario that provides a strong foundation of troubleshooting common ultrasound issues. Let’s …
How to perform TEE probe leakage testing
TEE probe leakage testing has been around for about 30 years. Surprisingly, it’s something that, currently, is still misunderstood by many biomeds, imaging service engineers, even those routinely performing the …
Reduce TEE Probe Failures through SafeTEE
When it comes to imaging devices, little things go a long way…and not always in the right direction. A little slip of the hands could cause significant trauma to your TEE …
Field Testing Ultrasound Probes
We’re often asked, “What are some of the most common failures with ultrasound probes?”. We can confidently say, “It depends”. We’re also asked, What’s the best method of field testing …
Taking a closer look: Micro-damage
It can be frustrating to HTM teams, and end-users, to learn that their ultrasound probe, that was only sent in to address a damaged strain relief, may require a more …
3D Ultrasound
Is it 3D, 4D, or 3D/4D, and what is 5D Ultrasound? You may be surprised to know that the first 3D ultrasound image was acquired back in 1986. Saying that …
Standard Ultrasound Probe Inspections
User manuals and service manuals distributed by Original Equipment Manufacturers stress the importance of frequent visual inspections of ultrasound probes. None actually provide good, solid guidance for performing thorough standard …
