Automatic probe diagnostics (VITAOnDemand)

If there is VITAOnDemand option string and Enable Automatic Probe Diagnostics is selected on
Utility > Admin, the Probe Test button appears when using the applicable probes with any B mode
application.
NOTE: Supported probes are C1-6-D, M5SC-D, IC5-9-D, RIC5-9-D, and ML6-15-D.
The initial VITA version collects diagnostic data at boot up from the first supported probe found
connected from the left to the right.
Automatic Test Routine - Periodically between patient exams, an automatic routine pulses a
•
single element and lens echoes are recorded by other elements in the array. This is repeated until
all elements are pulsed.
• Advanced Data Analysis - The system compiles the lens echo data into a sensitivity matrix
comprising the relative transmit and receive frequencies between each combination of elements.
This matrix is then analyzed for patterns.
• On-Board Customer Features - The result of this analysis will assess the health of the customers
probe, alert to specific failure types, and can even adjust image quality to compensate for probe
wear and degradation.
The diagnostic result will be logged in a file, stored under the Diag/VITA folder, with a.JSON extension.
This file can be transferred to the GE HealthCare backoffice through a data transfer or can be collected
with the Alt+D logs.
