housing, the cable and the connector for any crack,
scratch or denaturalization. If you find damage, do not
use the probe, and immediately contact a service support.
(2) Inspect the functionality of Real-time 3D mode. If you
find abnormalities such as abnormal noise, do not use the
probe, and contact immediately a service support.
6. Safety Precautions
For safe use of the probe, observe strictly all warnings and
cautions listed below.
(1) If you find that the probe head, the housing or cable are
cracked or damaged, do not use the probe, and immediately
contact a service support.
(2) For the patients suspected of having latex allergy, do not

swelling, fever, anhelation, wheezing, depression of blood
pressure, and shock. If your patients shows any of
above-mentioned symptoms, stop using latex-containing
medical devices immediately and provide prompt treatment to

(1) Start examination with acoustic power low and set the
acoustic power as low as possible for ultrasound examination
of an early pregnancy and minimize the ultrasound exposure
time.
(2) Disinfect the probe prior to the initial use since the probe
is not delivered disinfected.
(3) Use only detergents and disinfectants listed in "7.2
Suppliers list".
(4) Use sterile acoustic coupling gel depending on the diagnostic
part. The acoustic coupling gel which is an accessory of
Hitachi Ultrasound diagnostic scanner is non-sterile
acoustic coupling gel.
(5) Do not hit or drop the probe because the inside of the probe
head is easily broken by mechanical shocks.
(6) Do not allow liquid to contact/enter the probe connector,
as the probe connector is not waterproof.
