Bard Access Systems, Inc. · Model 9770700R
BD Prevue II Console (Refurbished)
Intended use: A stationary or mobile (e.g., on wheels) assembly of devices designed to collect, display, and analyse ultrasound images during a variety of extracorporeal and/or intracorporeal (endosonography or endoscopic) ultrasound imaging procedures (e.g., cardiac, OB/GYN, endoscopy, breast, prostate, vascular, and intra-surgical imaging). It consists of a mains (AC-powered) data processing unit with integrated software and a monitor. It is typically presented as a mobile assembly which may support a wide variety of transducers and related application software packages; an ultrasound transducer(s) may be included.
Key tips
- ·When no category-specific guidance fits, default to the manufacturer's own service manual and the general troubleshooting method in the Engineer's Guide.
- ·Run an incoming and annual electrical safety test regardless of how niche the device is.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
No or poor ultrasound image
HighSymptoms: Black, snowy or low-quality image with the probe fitted.
Root cause: Transducer element or cable damage, a connector fault, or a system video / processing fault.
Probe cable / connector fault
MediumSymptoms: Image drops or is noisy when the cable is moved, probe not recognised.
Root cause: Broken conductors or a worn connector.
Battery / power fault
MediumSymptoms: Short run time, powers off, will not charge.
Root cause: Aged battery or a charging fault.
Needle-guide / bracket fit fault
LowSymptoms: Needle guide loose or mis-aligned with the on-screen guide.
Root cause: Worn needle-guide bracket.
