Aloka EP532601 BD Beam Processor Board Assembly from an Aloka Alpha 10 Pro Sound

• Model: EP532601

The Aloka EP532601 Beam Processor Board Assembly serves as a core signal-processing module within the Alpha 10 ultrasound system. Its primary task is to take the echo signals (B/W imaging and spectral Doppler) from the upstream beamforming and transmitter/receiver chain, apply processing including filtering, echo tracking, Doppler processing, and convert the resultant data into a BLVDS output format for the subsequent video/image processor modules. In this way it stands at a critical juncture between raw ultrasound echo data and the display/analysis subsystem.

From a service and maintenance perspective, the EP532601 board offers a cost-effective way to restore functionality when an Alpha 10 system suffers image degradation, signal errors or fails to process Doppler imaging correctly. Because it is sold as a spare part (used/removed from system) it allows repair labs or biomedical engineering departments to replace just the faulty board rather than the entire ultrasound machine or system chassis, thus significantly reducing repair cost and downtime. The fact that it is specified as “Board Assembly” means it includes the printed circuit board (PCB) with all required components for beam processing, but installation requires familiarity with the Alpha 10 system (firmware compatibility, correct slot insertion, static-safe handling).

Clinically, having a fully functioning beam processor board is essential to maintaining image clarity, Doppler accuracy and overall performance of the ultrasound system. For example, degradation or failure in this board can manifest as poor image quality, reduced frame rates, dropout in Doppler signals, or inability to support advanced modalities such as Echo Tracking. Replacing it restores the system’s ability to deliver high-quality diagnostic images across B/W, spectral Doppler and echo tracking workflows. For ultrasound departments relying on the Aloka Alpha 10, the EP532601 board plays an unseen but vital role in ensuring imaging performance, patient throughput and system uptime.
