💬 Top Customer Questions of 2025❓

Throughout the year, our customers reach out with thoughtful, important questions—and Mary, our Office Manager, is often the friendly, knowledgeable voice on the other end of the phone helping answer them. She fields questions day in and day out and keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Over the next few posts, we’re sharing some of the most common questions we hear—along with Mary’s helpful answers—to make sure you’re getting the most out of your VATA products.

Let’s start with one we hear often 👇

“My ultrasound phantom image isn’t as clear as it used to be—is it broken?”

Probably not! Over time, a small amount of fluid can naturally evaporate, which can make the image look less sharp. In most cases, a quick refill is all it takes to restore image clarity—easy and effective.

🎥 Watch our short refill video for step-by-step instructions:

Helpful tip: Avoid overfilling, as it can cause leaking. If pressure builds, gently elevating the base at a slight angle can help.

With VATA's Vascular Access Ultrasound models you may find a reduction in the amount of fluid in the vessels and/or that air has been introduced with normal...

Every story starts somewhere—and ours began in 1986, when our founder, Tom Call, saw an opportunity to help clinicians build essential skills before working with real patients. With the support of his wife Kathy, a nurse, he created Chester Chest™—a more realistic, hands-on way to practice IVAD access.

What started in a family garage has grown into a company trusted by medical students, educators, clinicians, and emergency services professionals in more than 75 countries—all with the same goal of supporting safer, more confident patient care.
