Abstract:
Objective:To conduct performance tests on medical ultrasound probes repaired by the third party,and explore whether the key parameters of the probes of third-party repair can meet the requirements of clinical use for quality.Methods:A total of 79 ultrasound probes that had been repaired by the third party were selected from different medical institutions.The performance tests were conducted on multiple parameters of ultrasound probes of different models and brands in accordance with national technical standards and relevant industry norms.Then,the test results were analyzed,studied and evaluated.Results:The tested results of the temperature rise and the leakage current of the ultrasound probes,which were repaired by the third party,met the national standards.However,in the test for sound power,26.58%of the probes failed to meet the national standards,which outputted sound intensity that was calculated was higher than the specified value.Conclusion:The general performance of the probes that have been repaired by the third party is well,but the quality of the repair is uneven levels,and some indicators do not meet national standards or industry norms,which might lead to occur risks in ultrasound diagnosis of medical institutions.It is recommended to implement regular test for quality and performance of medical ultrasound equipment,and establish a method and system for quality monitoring and re-evaluation after sale of repair for medical ultrasound,so as to ensure the use and safety of the equipment.
