This 60-minute webinar will feature Kyle Grozelle, Manager of Global Education and training at Summit Imaging. Kyle manages Summit’s robust training program that offers personalized, interactive courses on ultrasound systems to healthcare organizations across the country.
Preventing transducer failure is incredibly important as faulty probes can compromise patient safety by impacting image quality and potentially putting patients at risk for infection. The key to preventing transducer failure is implementing proper care methods and ensuring that everyone who handles the transducer is able to identify early warning signs. In this session Kyle will break down a transducer so he can explain the function of each part and where failures typically occur. He will bring real-life examples of transducers in various conditions so participants can see what a damaged probe looks like, making it easier for them to identify the problem on their own. He will then demonstrate techniques for detecting common problems, such as how to detect interior probe damage by examining the exterior. Kyle will also review proper care methods and techniques to help alleviate unnecessary problems.
Attendees will learn:
- The function of various lenses and arrays used in probes
- Where failures typically occur and what common damages look like
- Techniques for detecting common problems
- Proper care methods and techniques
