At a glance
A quick summary of this service.
The problem
When image quality drops, diagnostic confidence drops with it.
Ultrasound systems are heavily used and highly sensitive — a dropped probe, a worn keyboard, a failing monitor, or a sluggish trackball all show up as friction in the exam room.
Image-quality complaints often trace back to a specific transducer (lens wear, element dropout, cable damage) rather than the console itself — but confirming that takes a structured evaluation.
PBES supports these systems with structured evaluation, service, and documentation so image quality and clinical confidence stay intact.
Common issues
What we commonly see on ultrasound systems.
Most calls fall into imaging, probe, control-panel, or mobility issues.
Image-quality complaints
Shadowing, dropout, ring-down artifact, or reduced sensitivity on scan.
Transducer / probe issues
Cable damage, connector wear, element dropout, or lens damage on a specific probe.
Monitor issues
Dead pixels, dimming, flicker, or color-uniformity problems on the display.
Keyboard / trackball
Sticky keys, unresponsive controls, or trackball performance affecting workflow.
Console / cart issues
Cart mobility, wheel/caster wear, or arm-articulation issues on the monitor mount.
Power / battery issues
Portable-system battery capacity loss or cart-based power-supply concerns.
Fan / cooling
Fan noise, thermal alerts, or vent-obstruction concerns during long exams.
Electrical safety concerns
Ground continuity or leakage current findings on inspection.
PM overdue
Systems past manufacturer-recommended service intervals.
Our approach
How PBES handles every service visit.
A disciplined sequence, delivered the same way on every device — so your team gets consistent service and consistent documentation through TESSA.
- Step 01
Document the reported issue
Capture symptoms, error codes, history, and how the problem is affecting the workflow.
- Step 02
Identify equipment and asset details
Confirm make, model, serial, and control number so the record ties back to the right device.
- Step 03
Inspect and test the device
Visual inspection plus operational testing appropriate for the equipment and reported issue.
- Step 04
Troubleshoot the likely cause
Based on manufacturer guidance and service findings, isolate the probable cause or next step.
- Step 05
Perform service, PM, or recommendation
Adjustments, cleaning, wear-part replacement, or clear repair recommendations when parts and scope allow.
- Step 06
Verify operation and document in TESSA
Post-service verification and a clean written report you can hand to an administrator or surveyor.
TESSA · The PBES advantage
Every ultrasound and every probe, tracked on one record.
TESSA keeps imaging leaders and biomeds on the same page — system and transducer inventory, service history, PM status, and open follow-ups across every exam room.
TESSA — Technical Equipment Support and Service Assistant — is how PBES organizes equipment records, service history, PM status, and repair follow-up for the facilities we serve.
- System and transducer inventory by make, model, serial, and room
- Image-quality and probe findings captured on each asset
- PM status and next-due visibility
- Probe swap and repair history documented
- Electrical safety inspection records on the same record
- Multi-site rollups for administrators
Documentation

Frequently asked questions.
How often should ultrasound systems have PM?
Most ultrasound systems benefit from at least an annual PM including image-quality evaluation and transducer inspection, often paired with electrical safety inspection.
Do you service transducers as well as the console?
Yes. Transducer inspection is a core part of ultrasound service and is documented on the record per probe.
Can you evaluate image quality?
PBES performs structured image-quality evaluations as part of ultrasound PM visits and captures findings on the asset record.
Can you service portable and cart-based systems?
Yes. PBES supports common cart-based and portable diagnostic ultrasound platforms; specific capabilities depend on make, model, and parts availability.
Do you handle monitor issues?
Yes. Monitor uniformity, dead pixels, and articulation issues are addressed as part of ultrasound service.
Can PBES help across multiple imaging sites?
Yes. TESSA supports multi-site organizations so PM status and transducer history are visible across every location.
What documentation do we receive after a PM?
A written PM report including image-quality findings, per-probe inspection, control-panel and monitor checks, and any recommendations — filed on the asset in TESSA.
