BC092760-1EN 01
2. a: Thermal phantom at >33°C for external probes and
>37°C for non-external probes. Maximum probe
temperature is measured to be <43°C
b: Thermal phantom at 20-33°C for external probes and at
20-37°C for non-external probes.
Maximum probe temperature rise is measured and added to
33°C for external probes and 37°C for non-external probes.
Maximum probe temperature (Simulated use) <43°C.
c: With probe transmitting in air, temperature rise is
measured and added to 23°C. Maximum probe temperature
(Still air) <50°C
3. Probe placed in contact with a thermal phantom made of
tissue-mimicking material as referenced in IEC60601-2-37
4. Auto-freeze capability is disabled.
5. Temperature is measured when stable (2a and 2b) or for 30
minutes (2c).
6. 6T-series, 9T-series, 6VT-D, 10T-D, and M5Sc-D probes are
equipped with internal temperature sensor and mechanism
to monitor and limit temperature.
7. a: Measurement uncertainty for probes with temperature
sensor: 0.3°C.
b: Measurement uncertainty and probe variation for other
probes: 2°C.
Probe orientation
Some probes are provided with a green light (LED) orientation
marking near their head (see Figure 13-1). Probes which do not
have a LED have an indentation (notch) for orientation on the
probe housing. This LED, or notch, corresponds with the V mark
on the scanning screen. The V mark indicates the orientation of
the probe to the scan.
