  • Page 12 The following is the minimal equipment needed to test the electrical safety of ultrasound transducers: 1) ULT-2000 Series Ultrasound Transducer Electrical Leakage Tester 2) Dual Conductivity Probe (See list on page 3) 3) Ultrasound Transducer Adapter (See list on page 3)
  • Page 13 for the actual ultrasound machines. The ULT-2000 is the only battery-operated handheld tester on the market today that tests according to these established protocols, which have been adopted by diagnostic ultrasound manufacturers. It tests both the upper and lower limit thresholds for electrical leakage currents. Typical electrical safety (leakage) testing of the diagnostic ultrasound transducer should occur as part of the routine cleaning and disinfecting activity that is performed between patient ultrasound procedures.
  • Page 14 During testing, the transducer is subjected to a user selectable source voltage. This voltage is typically set to the normal operating voltage of the transducer’s ultrasound machine. In North America, the source voltage is typically set to 120 VAC @ 60 Hz. For countries where the normal operating voltage is 230 VAC, the source voltage can be set to this level, at either 50 or 60 Hz, as appropriate.
  • Page 15 NOTICE – TESTING CONDUCTIVE SURFACES SUCH AS METAL CARTS OR TABLETOPS CAN CAUSE ERRONEOUS READINGS DUE TO ALTERNATE LEAKAGE PATHS FROM TRANSDUCER ADAPTERS, CABLES, ETC. ENSURE TEST IS DONE ON A NON- CONDUCTIVE SURFACE FOR BEST RESULTS.

  • Page 16: Test Process

    TEST PROCESS The ULT-2000 series completes four intermediate tests as part of the Full Test to fully evaluate the integrity of an ultrasound probe. The following is the details of each test step: Source Voltage Test - The first step is to read the actual source (challenge) voltage that will be applied during the testing to ensure that it is within range.
