Bard Access Systems, Inc. · Model 9001C0197
48" Probe Cover w/Gel, Ultrasound, Sterile.
Intended use: A device/material intended to be used as a physical barrier for protection against the effects of environmental exposure (e.g., body fluids, gels) and/or to maintain the required hygienic level of an ultrasound system imaging transducer (probe) used on the body surface during an ultrasound examination. This is a single-use device.
Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
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.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: No or poor image
- Inspect the probe and cable for damage.
- Re-gel and confirm good skin contact.
- Swap in a known-good probe if available.
- Check the connector is fully seated and dry.
- Replace the probe or refer the system if the image is still poor.
Symptom: Runs briefly on battery
- Charge fully and note the run time.
- Inspect the charge contacts.
- Try a known-good battery.
- Replace the battery.
- Verify run time before returning to service.
