OPERATION

The ULT-2000 is designed to test the electrical safety of all types of diagnostic ultrasound

transducers, independent of the ultrasound machines on which they are typically used.

Although the ULT-2000 can be used on virtually any type of ultrasound transducer, it is

especially recommended in the testing of TEE (Transesaphogeal Echocardiography)

transducers prior to each use, as recommended by many TEE ultrasound manufacturers.

The ULT-2000 tests the integrity of the outer insulation barrier of the transducer as well as

the capacitive leakage currents that exist. Due to the proximity of the TEE transducer to

the human heart during normal operation in a patient procedure, abnormally elevated

electrical leakage currents can be hazardous to the patient, and could induce microshock,

resulting in cardiac fibrillation. It is therefore vital to routinely test TEE (and other types of)

GENERAL OPERATING OVERVIEW

ultrasound transducers prior to their use on a patient.

All ultrasound transducers have inherent electrical leakage characteristics, and the

manufacturers of these transducers have carefully tested and documented these

characteristic leakages. These transducers each have characteristic minimum and

maximum leakage currents and associated PASS/FAIL limits as prescribed by the

manufacturer. These are different than the acceptable electrical leakage current limits for

the actual ultrasound machines. The ULT-2000 is the only battery-operated handheld

tester on the market today that tests according to these established protocols, which have

been adopted by diagnostic ultrasound manufacturers. It tests both the high and low limit

thresholds for electrical leakage currents.

Typical electrical safety (leakage) testing of the diagnostic ultrasound transducer should

occur as part of the routine cleaning and disinfecting activity that is undertaken between

patient ultrasound scanning procedures. The ultrasound transducer (see Item 5 in Figure

1) is immersed in a basin (see Item 4 in Figure 1) that contains a suitable electrically

conductive liquid (see Item 7 in Figure 1). This liquid can be the liquid cleaning and

disinfecting agent if it is suitably conductive to electrical current flow. Cidex



is a typically

used disinfecting agent for cleaning ultrasound transducers and is suitably electrically

conductive for performing electrical safety tests on transducers.

The ultrasound transducer is immersed in this conductive medium and the electrical

connector of the transducer (see Item 6 in Figure 1) is attached to a suitable adapter (see

Item 3 in Figure 1) for that particular manufacturer and model transducer. This creates one

electrical “pole” for the test. The transducer adapter is then attached to the ULT-2000 as

shown in Figure 1. A special conductive probe (see Item 2 in Figure 1) is then attached to

the ULT-2000. This probe is immersed in the basin of conductive liquid. The setup is now

complete for the testing of the transducer.

During testing, the transducer is subjected to a user selectable “challenge” voltage. This

voltage is typically set to the normal operating voltage level of the ultrasound machine that

the transducer is normally used with. In North America, this “challenge voltage” is typically

set to 120 VAC @ 60 Hz. For countries where the normal operating voltage is 230 VAC,

the challenge voltage can be set to this level, at either 50 or 60 Hz, as appropriate.

The first part of an actual ultrasound transducer electrical safety testing procedure is to test

the conductivity of the liquid medium in the test basin. The ULT-2000 accomplishes this

test quite easily, and reports either a simple PASS/FAIL or the actual numerical conductivity

of the medium (according the user-selectable setup of the unit). If the conductivity of the

liquid medium is insufficient to perform a valid electrical leakage current test, the ULT-2000

will report this and will not allow the leakage current test to be performed. If the

conductivity test is satisfactory, the ULT-2000 will proceed to the electrical leakage test.

Again, the results of the test will be reported as either a simple PASS/FAIL, or the actual

leakage current values will be displayed.

The operating “mode” may be easily set by the user. Items such as high and low limits,

conductivity PASS/FAIL limit, challenge voltage, challenge voltage frequency, etc. can also

be set by the user. See the details in the preceding section on familiarizing yourself with

the ULT-2000 functions and controls.

SELF TEST

The ULT-2000 performs an internal self test in two steps prior to doing either a Bath or

Transducer Test.

Voltage Source Test - The first step is to read the actual high voltage (challenge voltage)

that will be used during the testing to ensure that it is within range. If it is not, an alarm is

activated and the test is halted.

Circuit Test - The second step checks the Leakage Measuring Circuitry. A relay switches

in a dummy internal load. The challenge voltage is then applied to this load. The unit must

correctly read the known leakage current. If it is not read correctly, an alarm is activated

and the test is halted.

ITEMS REQUIRED FOR TESTING THE

ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCERS

The following is the minimal equipment needed to test the electrical safety of the

ultrasound transducers:

1) ULT-2000 Ultrasound Electrical Transducer Electrical Leakage Tester

2) Dual Conductivity Probe (Item # ULT-PC-10)

3) Ultrasound Transducer Adapter (See list on page 4)

4) Test Basin



5) Conductive liquid medium (Cidex

sufficiently electrically conductive to support electrical leakage testing)

is an excellent medium for use, as it is
