What does diagnostics and instrumental control of ultrasound probe parameters include?

The physical condition of the sensor, as already mentioned, directly affects the quality of visualization, so engineers pay special attention to the external inspection and inspection of all the main components of the device.

Instrumental control of the parameters of ultrasound sensors, in turn, is done to check the calibration of the sensor and the hardware and software part of the ultrasound device itself. The simplest check can be performed by a doctor or clinic engineer. It should be done 2-3 times a month. But more often the control of parameters is left to the engineer of the service company. Thanks to the experience of engineers, many problems can be recognized at the stage of formation.

If the ultrasound sensor is fully functional and able to ensure uninterrupted operation, instrumental control of its technical parameters can be carried out in the clinic itself. In addition, instrumental control must be carried out after repair work.

Instrument control data are compared with reference samples, which allows you to make appropriate adjustments to the settings and achieve the most correct operation. It is important to note that visualization parameters may vary depending on the model and nominal characteristics of the scanner, therefore the requirements for each sensor model are purely individual. This fact must be taken into account when conducting instrumental control.

How often is instrumental control performed?

Sensor parameters on ultrasound devices should be checked at least once a year, as well as when the sensor is put into operation (after purchase or long-term downtime).

According to the most modest estimates, from 20% to 50% of the entire fleet of ultrasound devices has any deviations in visualization, which is most often associated with a violation of the terms of instrumental control.

The repair is not considered completed and cannot guarantee 100% quality and functionality of the sensor, if a post-repair check and diagnostics, which is performed only with the help of specialized equipment, has not been carried out. After repair work, we carry out a thorough check of the acoustic and electrical parameters of the sensor. A guarantee is provided for all repair work and work related to the modernization of equipment.
