Mechanical dimensions
•
Probe housing diameter: 10+5% mm, the lowest limit is not calculated.
•
Maximum insertion portion width:
≤
10.2 mm.
•
Working length (including hard shaft, articulation section and probe housing): 338±3% mm.
NOTE:
There is no guarantee that instruments selected solely using maximum insertion portion width and
working length will be compatible in combination.
Lever Operations
Check the proper mechanical operation of the probe. Rotate the scan plane with the deflection
levers on the handle. Make sure that the rotation is smooth for all scan planes. Deflect the tip in
both up/down and left/right direction using the deflection levers on the handle. Make sure the
deflection operates smoothly.
The up/down and/or left/right deflection may, after prolonged use, develop an unwanted amount of
free play. In that case, contact the service organization to re-adjust the steering of the probe.
The flexible shaft can be deflected up to 90° (tolerance: -5°~10°) in four planes of up, down, left
and right. Use the 2 deflection levers to adjust the distal tip with transducer as the following figure.

Distal tip with transducer
Converts the electrical signal to an ultrasonic signal,
focusing the sound beams in a given direction while it
receives the reflected ultrasonic signal and converts it to
an electrical signal for transmission over the cable. The
lens on the surface is the acoustic lens.
