Inserts:

2 inserts are provided to allow for the correct positioning of the patient foot. For accurate and repeatable measurements it is critical for the correct part of the calcaneum to be measured. A small foot therefore needs to be raised and pushed slightly forward so that the transducers send the ultrasound signal through the central part of the calcaneum.

30 Second Settling Time:

Contact systems such as the CUBAClinical must ensure that any edema present around the measurement area is dispersed. A 30 second settling time allows for this and is sufficient for most patients. (Patients that have a considerable amount of edema require a longer settling time and this is taken care of through the software’s measurement protocol).

Electronic Phantom:

The electronic phantom is a high precision active electronic filter that is calibrated in the laboratory to a value of 38.75 +/- 0.7dB/MHz. It is then incorporated into the CUBAClinical where it provides for a highly accurate QA reference source measurement.

This allows for all CUBAClinical systems to be manufactured within close tolerances and provides the user with an accurate and reliable means of quality assurance.

The CUBAClinical is the ONLY device with a patented electronic phantom.
