Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a project with Bay Area Sonic Solutions?
We start with an initial call to understand your company’s ultrasound measurement, characterization, or regulatory needs. Based on this information, Bay Area Sonic Solutions creates custom solutions packages for your team. We review these options together to tailor the solutions to your team’s specific needs. Please contact us or book an appointment to see how we can best serve you.
What types of services does Bay Area Sonic Solutions provide?
We provide consulting, education, and training services for ultrasound measurement, device characterization, and ultrasound standards compliance. Services range from open Q&A sessions, onsite trainings, guidance on purchasing ultrasound measurement equipment, optimizing your existing hydrophone setup, ultrasound data collection and regulatory submission strategy, to full service design and signal processing algorithm development. If you have a question about ultrasound measurements, physics, and ultrasound standards, we can help.
Why hire Bay Area Sonic Solutions instead of doing it in-house?
Our goal is to provide your team with the knowledge and skills to confidently characterize the ultrasonic fields of your device and have successful regulatory submissions. We help team’s accelerate and optimize their ultrasound measurement workflows to save test time, minimize risk of damaging expensive hydrophones, and ensure high quality data are being collected for device characterization and regulatory submissions. Whether you have an early feasibility study or are conducting design verification and validation, we help your teams focus on what is important.
Do you provide ultrasound regulatory compliance services?
Bay Area Sonic Solutions can help you determine which IEC standards are relevant for your application, design testing strategies to ensure all ultrasound data needed for submissions are collected, and train team members on collecting ultrasound data compliant to IEC standards. Additionally, we provide support for responses to questions from regulatory bodies on ultrasound data submissions. For novel devices which do not have a specific IEC standard, we provide guidance on which standards to use.
Do you offer training on ultrasound measurements and physics?
Yes! We offer both virtual and onsite trainings on ultrasound measurement techniques, ultrasound physics, and regulatory compliance strategies. Our goal is to provide your team members with the knowledge, skillsets, and expertise needed to design and bring the next generation of ultrasound devices to market.
Do you offer project-based or hourly pricing?
We primarily offer project-based pricing to ensure your team receives the most value for our services. However, we can adjust the pricing structure and package to meet your company’s internal requirements.
Do you support companies outside of the Bay Area?
Yes! We support customers globally. From startups to major companies, we are here to help you bring the next generation of ultrasound based technologies to market.
