Routine probe testing can reveal probe degradation that is not immediately apparent to the Sonographer or Service Engineer. Our experience has shown that approximately 25% of all probes on Ultrasound systems aged 2 years or over, have some form of internal structural defect.
Probe testing and analysis is a three step process that will uncover any degradation that has occurred within the entire structure of the transducer.
Digital Analysis A quantitative interrogation of the transducer’s electrical and acoustic properties is carried out on Probelogic’s Digital Analyser.
Microscopy Every transducer is carefully inspected under a high powered microscope for surface imperfections and perforations.
Electrical Safety Testing All transducers are electrically safety tested to ensure safe operation. This is paramount for all intracavitary probes.
