NOTES FROM THE CEO
BJÖRN SEGALL
BBS Medical AB, the Swedish company behind ProbeHunter, has over 30 years of expertise in ultrasound transducer testing, with more than 50,000 tests conducted in Scandinavian hospitals.
Our extensive experience has identified common probe faults by brand and type.
For over 12 years, hospitals and ultrasound industry professionals have relied on our testing services to ensure transducer quality and patient safety. Studies conducted with the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) confirm that in non-tested hospitals, 35-40% of probes are faulty, often posing risks of misdiagnosis.
Probe damage is rarely visible on-screen until it has affected numerous patients. Traditional static testers fail to detect hidden issues in dynamic ultrasound systems. Recognizing this, BBS Medical AB developed ProbeHunter, a dynamic, multi-brand tester designed to uncover faults in real time, enhancing patient safety.
Quality assurance is essential at every level, from manufacturers to hospitals, probe brokers, and repair labs. ProbeHunter supports all major brands, including GE, Siemens, Philips, Toshiba, and more. As a neutral and objective partner, BBS Medical AB ensures the industry has access to precise, reliable probe testing.
Every ultrasound transducer should be tested frequently and include a ProbeHunter Quality Report.
We recommend the ultrasound industry avoid trading probes without verified quality assurance.
