Repair GE 4C-RS Ultrasound Probe Repair Crystal Replacement Imagine Problem
Crystal damage -Weak, dead or damaged crystals
Very often cause of crystal damage in ultrasound probes is dropping of probe on the floor or hitting of probe with gel bottle or other object. Once a probe is dropped its piezoelectric crystals may stop sending or receiving signals, resulting in scans with weak or dead elements. This leads to black lines in an image, these lines are called dropouts. Weak elements cause the faint little lines that don’t obscure much. These are the first signs that the elements are getting progressively damaged and need to be replaced. Instead of faint lines if the lines are thick and pronounced, the elements are dead. If there are thick lines in the scanned image, important things can be missed out during diagnosis. You may be harming the patient due to misdiagnosis.

Probe Troubleshooting Summary
1.Check whether multiple probes are the same phenomenon, sometimes it is necessary to plug again
2.Lens and crystal failure are sometimes similar, both are shadowing on the image
3.If there is a single probe problem, replace the socket to have a check.
4.The high frequency probe (small parts probe) is sensitive. If only this probe doesn’t work, may be caused by machine failure.
