Before You Begin
1.1.
Good to Know
•
Due to typical self-discharging characteristics of NiMH batteries, it is recommended to charge
the LUBExpert battery at least every 3 months, even if the equipment is not used.
•
This manual contains instructions specific to LUBExpert App Firmware and its interface to
Ultranalysis Suite Software (UAS3). References to UAS3 usage in the manual are intentionally
“LITE”. For instructions using UAS
3, refer to the UAS3 user manual.
•
LUBExpert App runs on an SDT270SU or SDT270DU. If you are using the LUBExpert App on
one of these devices and need device specific instructions, refer to your SDT270 User
Manual.
1.2.
Recommended Calibration Intervals
SDT recommends annual recalibration of SDT instruments and annual verification of sensors. The
one-year interval is consistent with the observed long-
term stability of SDT electronic equipment’s.
Annual calibration of your ultrasound equipment is a mandato
ry condition of SDT’s Lifetime
https://sdtultrasound.com/lifetime-warranty/
for details.
Each instrument leaves SDT’s factory with an electronic time stamp indicating the d
ue date of the
next calibration. The initial period is 15 months which accounts for the lapse of time from delivery
from factory floor to end users.
SDT recognizes that each customer may have their own Quality Assurance Standards and internal
requirements. If a customer has established a Quality Assurance Program that includes a
documented procedure for measurement deviations, and if an instrument and the relevant sensor
show acceptable deviations and do not show signs of physical damage, then calibration intervals
could be extended to two years. Just remember that to participate in SDT’s Lifetime Warranty
Program, annual calibration is mandatory.
