Manipulation Of Probe - Hitachi MXS2ESLL1 Probe Instruction Manual

4-4. Manipulation of Probe

An image of the region of interest is displayed on the monitor of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument. For details on
displaying and adjusting the image, refer to the documentation supplied with the ultrasound diagnostic instrument.
Warning
If the probe gets bent in the esophageal (J turn), do not try to move the probe by force.
If the image reverses suddenly or the image disappears suddenly at the time of the insertion, J-turn
should occur. If a J-turn should occur, do not try to pull back the probe by force, but rather, preferably
under x-ray monitoring to check the state of the probe, carefully push the probe until its tip comes into the
stomach and straighten the bend by operating the angle knob before pulling back the probe. Forcing it to
move can injure the patient.
Keep the angle knob in the free position during an operation of pulling out.
Removing the deflection portion while locked may injure the patient.
Dispose the probe used for patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Otherwise, there is a risk of infection to the operator or patient. Our ultrasound probe is not compatible
with any disinfection/sterilization method for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
