Routine Ultrasound Calibration Inspections (Dynatron 850Plus Only) - Dynatronics Dynatron 850 Plus Service Manual

MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY USER:
1. Inspect accessories daily for wear and damage. Examine cables and connectors on the
cables for any visible sign of wear or damage. Replace accessories as needed:
2. Examine ultrasound heads periodically for cracks which may allow ingress of conductive
fluid.
3. If a machine or soundhead is dropped, or if it sustains damage due to lightning, severe
power surge, submersion in water, or other incident that could cause damage to electronic
components, the device must be examined by a Dynatronics technician before being
returned to clinical use.
4. For older devices contact Dynatronics or your Dynatronics dealer for information and
pricing for current upgrades to your device. Even if the machine is functioning properly,
you can send it to Dynatronics for preventative maintenance service for a nominal
charge; call for pricing.
5. Inspect device air vents periodically to ensure air flow is not blocked. An ordinary
household vacuum hose may be used to clean dust from air vents externally.
6. Immediately report any device malfunction to Dynatronics Customer Service
Department.
NOTE: BEFORE sending a device to Dynatronics for service, you must FIRST obtain a
return authorization number. Call Dynatronics' Customer Service Department at 1-800-874-
6251 and discuss any problems or required service to save time and ensure the machine is
returned to you as quickly as possible.

Routine Ultrasound Calibration Inspections (Dynatron 850plus only)

Government agencies regulate the frequency at which ultrasound units must have their
calibration checked. The device must still be examined at the periodic intervals specified by
the governing agency for the country in which the device is used.
To have the inspection performed by Dynatronics contact Dynatronics' Customer Service
Department. The device will need to be shipped to Dynatronics for the inspection. As an
alternative, these periodic checks may be performed in your own locale by an independent
contractor who is expert in checking the calibration of ultrasound equipment.
The calibration procedure MUST be performed by a qualified ultrasound technician
using the proper equipment, and is recommended every 6 to 12 months.
Calibration instructions are included in this manual.
