Philips Ultrasound Validates BC Group’s Ultrasound Leakage Tester and Probe Adapter

After many months of conducting an exhaustive evaluation of the BC Group’s Ultrasound Leakage Tester and Probe Adapter, Philips Ultrasound has issued the following

statement:

 

“The BC Biomedical ULT-2020 Current Leakage Tester with the ULTPA-19 Adapter have been validated by Philips Ultrasound for use with the X7-2t, S7-3t, and S8-3t compact connector TEE transducers.”

 

The testing included the proper fit of the Compact connector TEE transducers into the ULT-PA-19 adapter, the testing function and limits used in the ULT-2020 Leakage Tester. Section 2.2.3B of the IAC Adult Echocardiography Standards for TEE Testing that went into effect on December 31, 2015 states:

 

“The manufacturer’s guidelines must be followed for the appropriate care and cleansing of the TEE transducer and adhere to the appropriate infectious disease standards to prevent the transmission of disease. Effective December 31, 2015, the structural and electrical integrity of the transducer must be checked between each use, using an ultrasound transducer leakage tester. “Passed” or “Failed” must be documented in the routine TEE probe cleaning / maintenance log along with action taken if “failed.”

 

BC Group’s ULT product line offers everything you need to comply with the new IAC Standard, includingtester, adapters, conductivity probes, soak trays and a printer to document the routine testing.
