Service Check Reminder

When was the last time your ultrasound equipment had a good clean or service check?

Don’t test your luck this upcoming preg-checking season — send your unit in for a service check and head into the busy months with confidence. ReproScan equipment is built for durability and performance — designed to work as hard as you do. But like any hardworking tool, your ultrasound system needs periodic maintenance to stay reliable and efficient.

When do I get my machine in for a service check?

Getting your machine in for a service check every two years is recommended to ensure it is working at its best! Our repair department will througherly go through your machine to ensure it is running at peak performance before the next preg checking season. A preventable service check can insure accurate imaging, optimal probe performance, and increase your machines lifespan. Even if everything seems to be working fine, small issues can develop quietly — and catching them early prevents costly breakdowns.

How much does a service check cost?

We charge an hourly rate for our service checks, and we try to be very thorough, so that we don’t miss a problem that could cost you an expensive repair later on. Our average service check, with no major issues such as a probe pull, costs around $300.

How long will I be without my ultrasound?

We recommend doing your service check in your slow season for ultrasound work, but we understand that for some of you that never stops! Once your equipment is shipped and arrives at our repair facility, on average, it will be there for 1-3 days, barring any major issues.

What do I do if my machine is broken?

If something isn’t working right with your machine, call us and we will help you get it sent in! It is important to call as soon as you can after something happens. The sooner you call, the sooner we can get your machine up and running again.

What can I do at home to prevent repairs?

Rinse probe to remove manure -> Ensure you don’t wash the machine.
Wipe off excessive debris with paper towels.
Clean & sanitize with a cleaning solution (Clorox Wipes work great). Do not submerge your equipment in water or use overly wet clothes.
Wipe all equipment down with an Armor All wipe. This keeps your probe cable flexible, and your equipment looking like new!
Put the Probe Cover on the Probe Head!
Fully charge all equipment before storing.

Every 6 months is it important to:

Charger & Power Supply

Use only the original charger provided with your equipment.
Inspect for cuts, frays, or exposed wires.
Confirm the green light appears when plugged in.

Do lights appear and blink when charging? -> They should be blinking until fully charged.
Is the power input loose or wiggly?
Are there cracks or missing port covers?
Is the battery life declining?
Any rattling sounds or image flicker (“lightning”)?

Has the cord been pulled during use?

Check for cuts, kinks, or exposed wires.
Inspect the probe head and the gray surface for cracks or damage.
