An ultrasound probe leakage tester is a specialized device used to verify the electrical safety and integrity of ultrasound probes used in medical diagnostics. Because many probes come into direct contact with patients, including invasive and high-risk applications, leakage testing is critical for detecting insulation failures or electrical faults that could pose shock hazards to patients or operators.
Routine leakage testing also helps confirm proper probe performance and image quality by identifying damaged internal components that may cause imaging artifacts or inaccurate diagnostic results. Incorporating leakage testing into preventive maintenance programs helps reduce equipment downtime, improve reliability, and support compliance with FDA, IEC, and AAMI safety standards.
The ULT-2020 is a portable ultrasound probe leakage tester designed for fast and accurate testing of transducers and cables. The ULT-2020 features automated leakage testing, user-selectable test modes, pass/fail indicators, internal data storage, rechargeable battery operation, and support for a wide range of ultrasound probe types including linear, convex, phased array, TEE, and intracavity probes. Its compact design and simplified interface make it well suited for biomedical technicians performing field service, preventive maintenance, and regulatory compliance testing in hospitals and clinical environments.
