Medical Equipment
How can vibration monitoring save human lives?
In medical equipment, noise and vibration play a major role in patient examination, patient safety, and comfort for doctors, surgeons, and dentists.
For example, if a patient is frightened by disturbing noises caused by defective parts of the equipment when moving during an MRI examination or an X-ray. The result is a second examination or additional radiation to get the right image.
In dentistry, hand-held tools driven by small turbines and motors are likewise very sensitive to vibration, and any deviation from the operating condition can result in inferior performance.
How can AVA Software assist?
Solutions for Hospitals
Vibration measurement in the equipment room can help to analyse the disturbing vibrations and ensure full functionality of the medical equipment. Some equipment requires a vibration-free environment to produce accurate recordings and therefore accurate noise and vibration analysis are needed when choosing a room. During the transport of the equipment between locations, negative effects can occur on the rotating parts such as turbines and motors. This leads to a test before these units are put into operation to ensure fault-free commissioning.
Solutions for equipment manufacturers
Measure and analyse equipment before it is used for customer testing.
The AVA Software can check and analyse whether the installed parts meet the requirements for continuous operation under different exploitation conditions.
