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. This probe is
categorized in class IIa according to Directive 93/42/EEC.
According to IEC 60601-1 the probe is classified as type BF.
Never use the probe for following applications.
Direct contact to the heart.
Biopsy to the heart.
Never use the probe with (HF) surgical equipment.
1.2 Principles of Operation
This probe and the ultrasound diagnostic scanner enable image
diagnosis using ultrasonic waves. This system operates under the
principles described below.
1) When an electric pulse signal is applied from the transmitter
to the transducer of the probe, the transducer converts electric
signals
into
pulse-shaped ultrasonic waves into the body part, liquid or
other medium contacting the transducer.
2) The emitted ultrasonic waves are reflected by boundaries with
different
within the body.
3) The transducer is also used to receive reflected ultrasonic
waves. The transducer vibrates mechanically due to the received
ultrasonic waves and converts mechanical vibrations into
electric energy. Electric signals are converted to shades of
brightness by brightness modulation to obtain an image.
