4 Tips for Maintaining Your Ultrasound Machine

What Should You Do to Maintain Your Ultrasound Device in Your Clinic?

 

 

An ultrasound machine is an invaluable sensitive piece of diagnostic equipment that doctors rely upon to treat their patients. It’s a highly technical and sophisticated machine that requires high-care to work properly.

 

Machines of all kinds will only function correctly for so long before they need some maintenance and repairs. Nothing will work perfectly forever.

 

Here are some tips to maintain your medical ultrasound machine so it will work for years & years.

 

 

 

 

Stick to Guidelines Mentioned in User Manual

 

You should take the advantage of reading the manual and discover the safety factors that the manufacturers listed it.


Even if you have experience operating ultrasound machines—maybe even that specific model—read it anyway. There is a wealth of information in there that will tell you how to clean, maintain, and operate the machine so it lasts a long time. Consult the user guide if there are operational issues with the ultrasound machine. There are pages that tell you how to solve a problem and make small repairs. 


In case you didn’t find an answer in user manual, and if you bought it from an official distributor, you can ask them about your problem or need more information about specific case and they’ll give you a clear answers and fixes because they have good experience and trained well.

 

 

 

 

Proper Machine Usage

 

Correct use of the ultrasound machine will help keep it in good condition and avoid many problems. Untrained or improper usage can damage vital systems and reduce the machine’s efficiency. Prevent others and yourself from pounding on the keys or handling the trackball aggressively. Hitting a key too hard won’t break it on the first time, but over time it will wear down and eventually break. Don’t pull on the cords and cables improperly; always grab them as close to the connection as possible.

 

 

 

 

Keep it Clean

 

To keep getting the optimal performance, ultrasound machines and their related peripherals and systems need regular cleaning. Parts of the ultrasound, such as the CPU, are made of electromechanical parts, and that means they are adversely affected by dust. Be sure to wipe the machine down for dust at the end of each shift.


The peripheral devices such as the transducer probe and patient physiology cables need wiping down daily, too. The transducers usually have a recommended cleaning and/or disinfecting procedure and special products suggested by the manufacturer. Because they touch patients’ body, so it’s very important they are cleaned thoroughly and daily.

 

 

 

 

Don’t Ignore Regular Maintenance

 

When you buy the ultrasound machine from an official distributor, it will support you with periodic maintenance visits to check if everything goes well with the device. Having a regular maintenance by official distributor means that it will be done by trained professionals keeping ultrasound machine running well for a long time. A trained technician knows the machine inside and out and will have the expertise to fix any problems quickly.
