Who Can Recalibrate a Portable Ultra Sound Machine?

Observing the internal actions of the human body is an extremely useful way for medical professionals to diagnose a condition or illness. Portable ultrasound machines provide this internal view into the human body.

Identification

• A portable ultrasound machine resembles a laptop computer, complete with a screen and control buttons. The ultrasonic pulses projected from the machine to the patient's body results in an image displayed on the screen, such as a picture of a growing human fetus.

Servicing

• Typically, the dealer or manufacturer that sold the machine will recalibrate the device. Ohmic Instruments Company recommends a yearly calibration procedure for ensuring accurate images and data flow.

Considerations

• Normally, the user can check the calibration accuracy of the portable ultrasound machine. Each manufacturer supplies an owner's manual with each machine. Follow the calibration check instructions to verify the accuracy of a machine. If the calibration value is out of specification, contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer.
