Not sure if it goes here - ultrasound

Couldn't find anywhere else to post this question, but does anyone know how much it costs and where I get an ultrasound machine tested please? (Not the hospital scan type ones, the physio treatment ones)

Tested? What, like PAT?

Contact the manufacturer they will have a recommended service regime and who they advise to service them. If not contact the Physio department at your local hospital and ask them what they do with theres

Ah good idea cyberbob - cheers!

Bowling_4_gold - they have to be tested every so often and it hasn't been used for quite a while.

On the topic of PAT you might be interested in or already know about:

Thanks for that JG... regarding my US machine - I need to know it's all working good & proper before I get to work on my poorly neck & shoulder, and if I start using it on friends in the future too (yes I am qualified to use it, before anyone asks )

I must admit that I thought it was a legal requirement. I imagine for a small employer that link would save a few bob. My betting is that corporates will just carry on with annual PAT tests (much of which are only visual anyway) just as a CYA exercise.
