Name Explanation
Ultrasonic irradiation part
Ultrasound is radiated from this part. The electronic Sector
transducer is integrated underneath this part.
Probe tip
This contains a temprature sensor controlling surface
temperature and a transducer.
Deflection portion
Operating the angle knob allows this part to be bent in any
desired direction.
Insertion portion The probe is inserted into the patient's body up to this section.
Angle knob for U/D defrection
This part is used to UP/DOWN operate the deflection portion.
Angle knob for L/R defrection This part is used to LEFT/RIGHT operate the deflection portion.
Lock knob
This part makes the angle knob for
L/R
defrection fixed any
direction.
Lock lever
This part makes the angle knob for U/D defrection fixed any
direction.
Proximal head When using the probe, hold this part by hand.
Rotation Switch A ,B pushing this switches makes rotation of the diagnostic image.
Rotation Switch C pushing this switches makes rotation of the diagnostic image.
Cable
Cable transfers electric input/output signals.
Connector
The connector is the part which is connected to the ultrasound
diagnostic instrument.
Ring This part is used for hanging the proximal head
Bite block
This is put in patient's mouth so that keep the path of the probe
inserted into the body
Caution

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 rubber
material.
Do not bend or twist the deflection portion unnecessarily or manually .
This could make the probe unusable.
Keep the angle knob in the free position during an operation of curving.
Operating the probe while locked, it may become unusable.
There is no mark to indicate front direction of probe.
It becomes right axis angle operation, in Continuing pushing rotasion switch and completly turning
diagnostic image . See section 4-7.
