1. Introduction 1.1 Features The Intraoperative Probe EUP-O732T is a probe for Convex Array electronic scanning. The acoustic output of this probe when connected to ultrasound scanner was measured according to IEC 60601-2-37 standard. The table of measured acoustic output data is contained in the operation manual of each ultrasound scanner.
1.3 Intended Use The Intraoperative Probe EUP-O732T is designed for observation and diagnosis of the following regions mainly by connecting with the HITACHI ultrasound scanner. Intraoperative WARNING Never use the probe for following regions. 1) The heart (Do not contact directly.) 2) The eyeball 1.4 Compositions...

Immersible part (IPX7) Probe housing Scan Cable head Connector Applied part Magnetic sensor attachment(Option) Spacer for EZU-RV2S (Option) Immersible This part can be immersed in disinfectant part: solution and also can be cleaned by water.
2. Inspection before Use Prior to use, the probe and accessories must be carefully inspected so that they are appropriate for use. If you find any damage, do not use them and contact a service support immediately. 2.1 Inspection for Appropriate Connection 1) Confirm that the system is correctly operating.
The Magnetic sensor attachment and the Spacer for EZU-RV2S are needed for Real-time Virtual Sonography (RVS). Regarding the option for RVS, please refer to “4.Option of EUP-O732T”. 2) It is recommended to use a disposable probe cover for preventing a patient from infection and the probe cover should be allergy free material to avoid allergic reaction.
Page 12
6) After the use of the probe, clean and disinfect and sterilize the probe immediately and using RVS, also clean and disinfect and sterilize the Magnetic sensor attachment. In case of using RVS with an EZU-RV2S, also clean and disinfect and sterilize the Spacer for EZU-RV2S.
There are two types of the magnetic sensors for EUP-O732T, EZU-RV2S and EZU-RV3S. EZU-RV2S and EZU-RV3S are shown in Fig.3 and Fig.8. The uses of EUP-O732T with wither of the magnetic sensors enables the user to perform RVS (Real-time Virtual Sonography).

4.2.2 How to Release the Magnetic Sensor The procedure of releasing the Magnetic sensor is as follow. 1) Detach the Magnetic sensor attachment from the probe as shown Fig.11 in the out of operative field. Fig.11 How to release the Magnetic sensor attachment from the probe 2) Detach the magnetic sensor from the Magnetic sensor attachment as shown Fig.12 in the out of operative field.
5. Cleaning and Disinfection and Sterilization The probe and accessory must be reprocessed after each use. Refer to the reprocessing instruction in this chapter. ‐ The probe is delivered unsterile. Prior to the first use, reprocess the probe. ‐ WARNINGS Temperature should not exceed 60°C during reprocessing.
