Device for performing ultrasonic examinations and pressure measurements

A method of assembling a device for performing ultrasonic examinations and pressure measurements, comprising:

• an ultrasonic transducer:
• a pressure sensor;
• a housing to accommodate the ultrasonic transducer and the pressure sensor;
• a support plate arranged in the housing;
• and
• a flexible membrane arranged at a front of the housing;
• wherein a sealed chamber for receiving a liquid medium is formed between the flexible membrane and the support plate, and wherein the ultrasonic transducer and the pressure sensor are arranged on the support plate in such a way that a first transmission surface of the ultrasonic transducer and a second transmission surface of the pressure sensor are directed towards the sealed chamber,
• the method comprising:
• inserting, sealing and fastening the ultrasonic transducer and the pressure sensor in the support plate;
• inserting a filling hose into the support plate;
• attaching the flexible membrane to the support plate to form the sealed chamber;
• filling the liquid medium into the chamber through the filling hose;
• and
• closing a filling opening for the liquid medium as soon as a predetermined quantity of the medium has been filled in.
