Anyone recommend a good probe repair 3rd party service provider?

Try Trevor at MIUS. If he can't help you, no doubt he'll know someone who can.

Ta Geoff, hope life is good for you.

How come you're still in "Germany"?

PS: please pass on my "Best Regards" to Trev when you speak with him. Also, remind him that (although we know he is a busy guy) we are still patiently awaiting more of his words of wisdom on this forum!

MIUS is very good

Can you be assured that a probe repaired by a 3rd party will be the same as the original? Do they provide a certificate stating that all specifications, including image quality and output power, meet the original manufactures? If not how do you stand legally?

The MHRA and AXREM already has concerns over fake clone probes, which fail to meet acceptable image quality levels so I am unsure how a 3rd party repair company can meet the OEM standard.

All very good questions that I am looking for the answers before we outsource to a 3rd party. I have tried one company already and would not trust them to run a bath.

Looking a using Multi - Medix next if anyone has used them before any points would be appreciated.

Or ... you could start saving for a trip to the States!

You work for an OEM company know where they get their parts and learn their methods of service and work, then you set up your own 3rd party repair company.
That is how many of them start up.

A quality service can still be a quality service regardless of which shed the guys work in (or from).

And ... do all ultrasound manufacturers make their own probes anyway? Or is there an original OEM about somewhere (out in China, perhaps)?
