The electronic Sector Ultrasonic irradiation part transducer is integrated underneath this part. This contains a temprature sensor controlling surface Probe tip temperature and a transducer.
MN1-6403 Rev. 1 3. Preparations before use This chapter describes preparations needed to use the probe safely. Please prepare the probe prior to each use by following the instructions below. 3-1. Visual check Visually and tactually make certain that any of the following abnormalities has not taken place: Insertion portion is free from holes, dents, scratches, cracks, deformations, color changes and the like on the surface.
If the transducer cover is not used and will contact Lignocaine Hydrochloride such as xylocaine jelly or gel , this may cause exterior deterioration. Use Hitachi-approved transducer cover only. If use transducer cover which not reccomended can cause an adverse reaction by the body of the patient..
MN1-6403 Rev. 1 Caution Check the transducer cover for abnormalities before use. Regarding the storage of the transducer cover, follow the instructions of the back side of the outside bag of the transducer cover. Check that the acoustic medium has no air bubbles inside the transducer cover that is covering the probe. Air bubbles inside the transducer cover can result in misdiagnosis caused by overlooking or misinterpreting lesions due to poor image quality or improper rendering.
MN1-6403 Rev. 1 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.

MN1-6403 Rev. 1 Caution Constantly check for anything abnormal about the patient’s condition and the equipment. Continued use without noticing that an abnormal condition has occurred can result in an electric shock and injury to the operator or patient. If an abnormal condition occurs, immediately move the equipment away from the patient and stop use of the probe.
MN1-6403 Rev. 1 4-5. Manipulation of the deflection portion After inserting the insertion portion into the patient’ s esophagus, flex the tube as indicated below in order to observe the target region. DOWN Turn the angle knob(for U/D operation) to countercrockwise direction to bend the defrectin portion in the in the ultrasound irradiation area side.
MN1-6403 Rev. 1 4-6. Manipulation of the rotation switch After inserting the insertion portion of the probe into the esophagus of the patient, rotate the diagnostic image using the method shown in the figure below, in order to observe the region of interest. The angle indication is a reference level.
MN1-6403 Rev. 1 Bi plane Mode Switch A Turn the Bi plane mage to +direction Switch B Turn the Bi plane image to -direction Switch C Turn the Bi plane image by step to +direction Bi-plane image Reference image +direction -direction 4-7.
MN1-6403 Rev. 1 4-8. Temperature Control System The tip of the probe contains a temperature sensor. This sensor monitors the surface temperature at the tip of the probe in order to prevent damage to the esophagus tissue. When the surface temperature exceed limit, the message appears on the equipment monitor. 1) When the surface temperature becomes 41°C When the surface temperature becomes 41°C, the message “Probe temperature is higher than 41.0°C”...
