MN1-6103 Rev.3 Table 1 Name of each part and its explanation Name Explanation Ultrasound is radiated from this part. The electronic Ultrasonic radiation part Sector transducer is integrated underneath this part. Operating the angle knob allows this part to be bent in Deflection portion any desired direction.
MN1-6103 Rev.3 3. Preparations before use This chapter describes preparations needed to use the probe safely. Please prepare the probe prior to each use by following the instructions below. 3-1. Visual check Visually and tactually make certain that any of the following abnormalities has not taken place: Insertion portion is free from holes, dents, scratches, cracks, deformations, color changes and the like on the surface.
If the transducer cover is not used and will contact Lignocaine Hydrochloride such as xylocaine jelly or gel , this may cause exterior deterioration. Use Hitachi-approved transducer cover only. If use transducer cover which not reccomended can cause an adverse reaction by the body of the patient..
MN1-6103 Rev.3 Caution Check the transducer cover for abnormalities before use. Regarding the storage of the transducer cover, follow the instructions of the back side of the outside bag of the transducer cover. Check that the acoustic medium has no air bubbles inside the transducer cover that is covering the probe. Air bubbles inside the transducer cover can result in misdiagnosis caused by overlooking or misinterpreting lesions due to poor image quality or improper rendering.
MN1-6103 Rev.3 Do not try to forcibly perform operations. Excessive force cause injury to the patient. If an abnormal resistance force is felt, stop use of the equipment. Use the transducer cover over the insertion portion. If the transducer cover is not used and will contact Lignocaine Hydrochloride such as xylocaine jelly or gel , this may cause exterior deterioration.

MN1-6103 Rev.3 Caution Constantly check for anything abnormal about the patient’s condition and the equipment. Continued use without noticing that an abnormal condition has occurred can result in an electric shock and injury to the operator or patient. If an abnormal condition occurs, immediately move the equipment away from the patient and stop use of the probe.
MN1-6103 Rev.3 4-5. Manipulation of the deflection portion After inserting the insertion portion into the patient’ s esophagus, flex the tube as indicated below in order to observe the target region. 120° Turn the angle knob(for U/D operation) to crockwise direction to bend the defrectin portion in the in the ultrasound radiation part side.
MN1-6103 Rev.3 4-6. Manipulation of the transducer rotation switch After inserting the insertion portion of the probe into the esophagus of the patient, rotate the transducer using the method shown in the figure below, in order to observe the region of interest. The angle indication is a reference level.
MN1-6103 Rev.3 4-7. Manipulation of the Lock knob and Lock lever. After inserting the insertion portion into the patient’ s esophagus, flex the portion as indicated below in order to observe the target region. (1) Lock of angle knob(for L/R operation) Turn the lock knob to fix an angle of the diflection portion and opposite direction to free.
MN1-6103 Rev.3 4-8. Removing the insertion portion Turn free the lock lever and lock knob and straighten the deflection portion in order to remove the insertion portion from the patient’ s esophagus. Be sure to immediately wash and properly disinfection after use. Warning Keep the angle knob in the free position during an operation of pulling out.
