DESCRIPTION

The FirstCall aPerio is a unique portable, high-speed testing device designed to measure the relevant acoustic and electrical parameters of most electronic array transducers produced by Acuson/Siemens, Aloka, ATL/Philips, Agilent/Philips and Philips MUX, Cypress, ESAOTE/Biosound, Hitachi, General Electric, Medison, Siemens, SonoSite, Toshiba Medical Systems and others. This easy to use, yet powerful, test device provides repeatable and quantifiable data required to objectively determine the operational effectiveness of an ultrasound transducer, for both acceptance testing as well as on-going QA testing.        The FirstCall™ data is reported in a format that allows clear tracking of performance changes while documenting the key indicators of probe related problems, even before the user can see changes in image or Doppler performance and often while the probe can still be cost-effectively repaired. FirstCall pulses each element within an array to test for: Element Sensitivity (volts p-p), Capacitance (pF), Pulse Width (ns), Pulse Shape, Center Frequency (MHz) and Fractional Bandwidth (%).        The FirstCall™ comes complete with your choice of OEM probe family adapters and probe family device drivers, the operating and report program, a universal probe holder, parallel PC cable, various probe targets and user documentation.
