Probes
The probe is a device that sends and receives ultrasound for acquiring image data.It is also called a
Transducer or Scanhead.
The system limits patient contact temperature to 43 degrees Celsius, and acoustic output values to their
respective FDA limits. A power protection fuse circuit protects against overcurrent conditions. If the
power-monitoring protection circuit senses an overcurrent condition, the drive current to the probe is
shut o immediately, preventing overheating of the probe surfaces and limiting acoustic output.
Probe List
The ultrasound image scanner uses probes to obtain graphic data of the human body, and then
displays it on the screen. Use application-specic probes in order to obtain the best quality images. It
is also important to congure the probe with the best settings for the particular organ being scanned.
