Explanation
Ultrasound radiation part
Ultrasound is radiated from this part. The electronic
linear transducer is integrated underneath this part.
Front side
This side corresponds to the side of the orientation mark
on the image.
Probe tip
This part is gripped during operation.
Cable
Cable transfers electric input/output signals.
Connector
The connector is the part which connects the probe and
the ultrasound diagnostic instrument.
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 elastic
material.
