Need to send in a product for repair or service? We are here to keep you up and running.

We know the realities of veterinary practice. Dirt, dust, fur and moisture all make for a hard life for any piece of electrical equipment, along with the ever-present risk of accidental damage.

It is therefore important to regularly service and maintain your equipment to ensure it is working at its best – when you need it most.

With service centres in Australia and New Zealand, we are prepared for all your service requirements.

If sending in equipment for service or repair, please fill out the service form.

LOAN AND HIRE EQUIPMENT

Unfortunately we no longer provide loan or hire equipment.

HOW DO I PACKAGE EQUIPMENT TO BE SENT TO BCF FOR SERVICE OR REPAIR?

It is important for you to suitably package your equipment, so it is not damaged whilst being couriered to BCF. This means using a sufficiently strong cardboard box, that you can place material such as bubble wrap around the equipment to prevent any possible damage.

Please clearly label the box.

For Australia please label:
BCF Ultrasound Australasia
Unit 13/ 23A Cook Road, Mitcham VIC 3132
Tel: 1300 798 747

For New Zealand please label:
BCF Ultrasound Australasia
Unit E/71 Montgomerie Road, Mangere 2022 Auckland
Tel: 09 257 1212

It is very useful if you add a compliment slip or details of your business inside the box, so that we can easily identify your equipment when it arrives with us.
To speed up your service or repair also please ensure that your equipment has been cleaned before being packaged.

WHY SHOULD WE SERVICE OUR ULTRASOUND EQUIPMENT?

Vets and veterinary practices can create a harsh working environment for ultrasound equipment. Equipment can be used by a number of different people, constantly being moved from room to room, or even practice to stable.

  • It is important to have your ultrasound serviced annually
  • Reduce the chance of breakdown at the worst possible moment
  • Prevent small issues becoming expensive ones. The opportunity for us to examine your equipment annually means that we catch any potential major issues early. Saving you money in the long-term.
  • Help prolong the working life of your equipment. When was the last time you had your diagnostic imaging equipment serviced?

HOW DO I CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MY ULTRASOUND MACHINE AND TRANSDUCER?

Purchasing an ultrasound system is a big investment and proper maintenance of your system is essential for protecting that investment. Cleaning is an important part of ultrasound system maintenance and disinfecting your transducer is vital to protecting your patients and staff. Unfortunately, there is no single disinfectant approved for use by all manufacturers for all of their transducers.
