So far, I have only seen about 3 LIPUS (Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound) devices that are commercially available. The one that I am looking at right now is made by Bioventus Global and it is called Exogen.The " http://www.exogen.com/us/patient-resources ", on Bioventus Global website, states that their LIPUS device only has a lifespan of about 300 uses at 20 minutes per day.
The only components that I can think of that would cause such a short lifespan are the batteries and transducer.Which components would likely be causing such a short lifespan ?
If it is the transducer that is wearing out, is it normal for ultrasound transducers to wear out with only about 6000 minutes of usages ?
If it is the transducer that is wearing out, which part of the transducer ?
Thanks.
