Chapter 8 Probes
8.1. General Description
Fig.8-1: Convex Probe Overview
The probes provide high spatial and contrast ultrasound imaging of frequencies from 2.5MHz to 12.0MHz. These
probes operate by pulsing sound waves into the body and listening to the returning echoes to produce high-
resolution brightness mode, and a real time display.
8.2. Care and Maintenance
The probes that come with the system are designed to be durable and dependable. These precision instruments
should be inspected daily and handled with care. Please observe the following precautions:
Do not drop the transducer on hard surface. This can damage the transducer elements and compromise the
electrical safety of the transducer.
Avoid kinking or pinching the transducer cable.
Use only approved ultrasonic coupling gels.
8.2.1 Inspecting Probes
Before and after each use, inspect carefully the probe’s lens, cable, casing, and connector. Look for any damage
that would allow liquid to enter the probe. If any damage is suspected, do not use the probe until it has been
inspected and repaired/replaced by a CHISON's authorized service engineer.
