Table 2 Name of each part and its explanation

Name Explanation

Ultrasonic radiation part Ultrasound is radiated from this part. The electronic

linear transducer is integrated underneath this part.

Orientation mark The side of the orientation mark corresponds to the side

of the orientation mark on the image.

Probe tip This part is gripped during operation.

Cable Cable transfers electric input/output signals.

Connector The connector is the part which is connected to the

ultrasound diagnostic instrument.

Caution

Do not pull, bend, twist, or apply excessive force to the cable.

The probe may malfunction due to cable disconnection.

Do not subject the ultrasonic radiation part to hard impact.

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 plastic

material.
