A little slip of the hands could cause trauma to a TEE probe, and according to years of data from first-hand experience and researching common failures, trauma is one of the leading reasons for costly repair services. In fact, many believe that “biting” is one of the primary causes of traumatic damage, yet research conducted by our Centers of Excellence show that poor transportation practices and poor set-up practices are a much higher cause.
Sponsored By Medigate By Samuel Hill Biomed teams work hard to ensure that every device performs optimally in each life-cycle stage, but they are plagued by poor operational data. This problem shows up when it takes hundreds of hours to locate devices for preventative maintenance (PM), overspending on new devices, and constantly being asked by front-line care teams for more devices. Accurate data improves the efficiency of every device and enables better decision making. Through more efficient device utilization, hospitals can save significant money and time, while keeping more devices available for front-line care. Here is a short list of…
Staying ahead in the medical field is all about staying informed and up to date on new developments, procedures and processes associated with current technology. From academia to OEMs and ISOs, organizations which are continuously engaged in research and development, design, testing and more can have a proven impact on efficiencies, costs and outcomes. When businesses and academia work together, the results are often multiplied. Sharing Innovatus’ probe repair operations with the next generation of sonographers is making a difference one scan at a time.
This April, biomedical equipment supplier J2S Medical celebrates ten years in business! Over those years, senior leaders Joe Stem, Jamie Charles, and Sarah Stem have taken the company from a small start-up to a hugely successful operation that occupies two warehouses, as well as an in-house service department which serves customers across the country with high-quality, cost-effective solutions for various types of medical products.
Sponsored by Nuvolo Hospitals – and healthcare technology management (HTM) departments within them – have faced more than their fair share of challenges in recent years. Between the pandemic, growing cyber threats, staffing shortages, budget constraints (and the list goes on and on), challenges abound. But for small to mid-sized hospitals – especially those that are not part of a health system – these one-two punches have hit even harder. Most smaller hospitals, especially those in rural areas, are facing severe budget constraints due to supporting an older, poorer population, while at the same time facing declining Medicaid and Medicare…
Sponsored by Avante HS By Brent Kramer A refurbished defibrillator/AED is a good investment for almost any medical facility. Finding a properly refurbished defibrillator/AED from a reputable medical equipment source requires research and special purchasing considerations. Here are some buying tips for a smoother purchasing process. What to consider when purchasing a refurbished AED An AED is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, so it is important to understand what facility type or setting the AED is for, and who may need to use the AED.

Sponsored by Innovatus Imaging By Ted Lucidi Despite advancements in matrix array technology, mechanical 3D probes still remain very popular for abdominal and Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) applications. Given their design, there are modes of failure specific to mechanical 3D probes. Throughout our history, Innovatus has repaired over 10,000 mechanical 3D probes. We wanted to share with you a little about the technology, the modes of failure and some troubleshooting tips for when you’re in the field. Mechanically acquiring a 3D image requires that the acoustic array be oscillated back and forth, while multiple single images (or slices) are acquired…
Sponsored by Innovatus Imaging By Ted Lucidi You may be surprised to know that the first 3D ultrasound image was acquired back in 1986. Saying that 3D ultrasound technology has advanced over the last 30-some years is an understatement. In its infancy, 3D ultrasound images were acquired by sonographers manually moving a standard ultrasound probe across the anatomy, while sensors determined the probe’s relative change in position. Images were only static (single image), and they were not anywhere near real time. Fast-forward to 2010. We’re able to view a beating heart in 3-dimensions, rotate the live image in any direction,…
