Caution
Do not pull, bend, twist, or apply excessive force to the cable.
The probe may malfunction due to cable disconnection.
Do not subject the ultrasonic radiation part to hard impact.
The impact may cause damage to the transducer, and that results in noise or no echo in the image.
In most cases, the ultrasonic radiation part itself is not damaged because the part is made of plastic
material.
Do not bend or twist the deflection portion unnecessarily or manually .
This could make the probe unusable.
Keep the angle knob in the free position during an operation of curving.
Operating the probe while locked, it may become unusable.
There is no mark to indicate front direction of probe.
It becomes right axis angle operation, in Continuing pushing Transducer rotasion switch and completly
turning Tranceducer. See section 4-7.
Remarks
According to the property of a acoustic medium which filled a tip ,the change of color may be seen in menblane
But there is no influence on the performance and safety of the probe.
Table 1 Name of each part and its explanation
Name
Ultrasound is radiated from this part. The electronic
Sector transducer is integrated underneath this part.
Operating the angle knob allows this part to be bent in
any desired direction.
The probe is inserted into the patient's body up to this
section.
This part is used to UP/DOWN operate the deflection
portion.
This part is used to LEFT/RIGHT operate the deflection
portion.
This part make the angle knob for U/D defrection fixed
any direction.
This part make the angle knob for L/R defrection fixed
any direction.
When using the probe, hold this part by hand.
pushing this switches makes rotation of the transducer 0
to 180.
Cable transfers electric input/output signals.
The connector is the part which is connected to the
ultrasound diagnostic instrument.
This part is used for hanging the proximal head
This is put in patient's mouth so that keep the path of the
