Abstract: A medical imaging device connector assembly for connecting a medical imaging device to a terminal of a medical imaging system is provided. The medical imaging device connector assembly includes a top housing having a first base cutout; a bottom housing configured to couple to the top housing, the bottom housing including a second base cutout; a base housing positioned within the first and second base cutouts; a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) disposed between the top housing and the bottom housing; an electrical connector positioned within the base housing; and an elastic seal member surrounding a circumference of the base housing. When the top housing is coupled to the bottom housing, the elastic seal member is compressed by the plurality of PCBs in a first direction and by the top and bottom housings in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to prevent fluid ingress.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for detecting fluid ingress in ultrasound probes are disclosed. A fluid ingress may be detected by a change in resistance, capacitance, and/or current of a fluid ingress detector of a fluid ingress detection assembly. A fluid ingress detector that includes a soluble material is disclosed. A fluid ingress detector that includes a galvanic sensor is disclosed. The fluid ingress detector may provide a signal indicating a fluid ingress to an ultrasound imaging system and/or a maintenance diagnostic system.
