Marissa A. Rivera Cardona, André Victor Alvarenga, Rodrigo P. B. da Costa-Felix
Abstract:
The primary level ultrasonic output power measurement service is being set up at the Laboratory of Ultrasound (Labus) of Inmetro, based on the standard IEC 61161. Labus´ main purpose is to provide support, in accordance with procedures developed by its services, to industry, to calibration laboratories, and to final consumers (patients, for instance). Labus’ clients will have means and necessary data to obtain, between other things, pre-market approvals of new models or equipment, laboratory accreditation, and on demand checks of equipment already being in use. These procedures will ensure optimized and safe use of ultrasound technology at all levels. This paper presents the main characteristics of Labus’ primary level ultrasonic output power measurement service.
