GE Logiq S8 Repair

The LOGIQ S8/E8 is an ultrasound device that is manufactured by General Electric that offers both 3D and 4D scans. Ultrasounds are used for scanning organs and structures within the body to give medical professionals a greater picture of what the patient may need or what is causing them problems. The LOGIQ S8 is a smaller mobile ultrasound device that comes with the capabilities to aid in many different specialties including: Abdominal, OB/GYN, breast imaging, vascular/peripheral, trans-cranial, pediatric and neonatal, musculoskeletal, urological, as well as cardiac.

The LOGIQ S8 was first released in October of 2011 and it was manufactured until it was replaced by a newer model the LOGIQ S10 in later 2018. This device has been sold new in many countries such as Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. But because of its reliability there are many refurbished versions sold all over the world.

The main user of this device are medical professionals in various fields: abdominal, OB/GYN, breast imaging, vascular/peripheral, trans-cranial, pediatric and neonatal, musculoskeletal, urological, as well as cardiac. Someone who has knowledge, experience and certifications in using ultrasound devices are required to use this equipment. It is not meant for home use or for someone without the necessary credentials.

Brand new a LOGIQ S8 will sell from anywhere between $20,000 and $40,000 depending on the software and the probe selections that come with the device. Currently because they are no longer being sold new the refurbished options vary between $10,000-$25,000. The price tag reflects the high quality imaging coupled with an ergonomic design. The LOGIQ S8 is known for advanced technology that sets apart its imaging capabilities from others in its class.

Commonly the device is known to experience start up failure. This means that the power button will come one but the device itself will fail to boot up. This is frequently been caused by an internal power failure or a failure of the motherboard as a whole. It also has been reported that the track ball design may fail. The track ball may bounce back and forth rendering the ball useless to track what you need or it may fall off track and make it difficult to be direct in your pointing.

Consumers praise the LOGIQ line for its intuitive abilities and specifically the S8 for its lightweight mobile capabilities. The S8 is from a line of LOGIQ ultrasound devices that are all really highly rated in the medical community. The S8 replace the LOGIQ S7 with their biggest difference being a software upgrade from the S7 to the S8 making it more efficient and technologically advanced. The LOGIQ S8 Was replaced by the LOGIQ S9 and there were some significant physical changes such as a finger print scanner for easier accessibility, a higher quality camera with a revolutionary dual-aperture lens. It accommodates both low light and bright light. It also allows for super slow motion scanning. This makes the S9 quite the upgrade from the S8.

Identification

You can identify the LOGIQ S8 by looking for its mobile capabilities as it will be on wheels. It will also have a 19 inch monitor at the top with a swivel arm holding it for viewing the internal organs that will be scanned. It has a touch screen right above the operating panel. Down below there is a base that you can connect the probe connecters that are compatible. You can find the model, serial number and software version on the rear of the model. It can usually be found on a silver or white sticker near the cable inputs or power button.
