5 - 2 HS70A Service Manual
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°C, and acoustic output values to their
respective U.S. FDA limits. A power protection fuse circuit protects against overcurrent
conditions. If the power monitor protection circuit senses an overcurrent condition, then the drive
current to the probe is shut off 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. Always use application-specific probes in order to obtain the
best quality images. It is also important to use a preset that is best suited to the particular
organ being scanned.
