Ultrasound Calibration
To maintain accuracy, all soundheads must be calibrated annually to ensure proper operation. With the exception of
calibration, all service on the Dynatron Solaris Plus device should be performed by a Dynatronics service technician. If
your Dynatron Solaris Plus requires service, contact Dynatronics Customer Service at (800) 874-6251. Calibration MUST
be performed either by Dynatronics or by a qualified Ultrasound technician in your local area. Qualified technicians may
contact Dynatronics for the calibration service procedures or refer to the Solaris Plus Service Manual.
What to Calibrate. Calibrate all soundheads used with this device at 1, 2 and 3 MHz Frequencies.
Equipment Required. The process requires an ultrasound power meter capable of accurately measuring outputs up to 3
MHz. Check the manufacturer’s specifications to confirm your power meter meets this qualification. Ohmic Instrument
UPM-DT1 or UPM-DT-10 is recommended for use.
Frequency Numbers. The “Frequency” numbers for each soundhead are required. The frequency numbers for each
soundhead may be obtained by calling Dynatronics Customer Service or referring to the Dynatronics Soundhead Calibration
Printout shipped with each Dynatronics’ soundhead.
Water Quality. Water used in the testing procedure must be degassed water with an oxygen content of four parts per million
(4ppm) or less.
