Page 10: Inspection Procedure
2. Inspection procedure Prior to each use, the probe must be carefully inspected that it is appropriate for use. (1) Visually inspect the surface of the probe head, the housing, the cable and the connector for any crack, scratch or denaturalization. -
Page 11: Operation Procedure
3. Operation Procedure (1) Confirm that the probe is cleaned and disinfected. (2) Cover the probe with a disposal probe cover to protect the probe. The probe cover should be allergy free material to avoid allergic reaction. Apply acoustic coupling gel inside and outside of the probe cover. -
Page 12: Reprocessing Procedure
4. Reprocessing Procedure The probe must be reprocessed after each use. Refer to the reprocessing instruction in this chapter. ‐ The probe is delivered unsterile. Prior to the first use, reprocess the probe. ‐ Temperature should not exceed 40°C during WARNINGS reprocessing. - Page 13 Application part contacts Disinfection semicritical mucosa (intracavitary (Disinfectant with application) virucidal effect) Cleaning Application part contacts Disinfection intracorporeal tissue (Disinfectant with critical directly (operative virucidal effect - application) minimum) Sterilization According to the intended use, EUP-LV74 probe is classified as uncritical.

Page 15: Point Of Use (Pre-Cleaning)
4.1 Point of use (Pre-cleaning) Point of use Pre-cleaning should be done immediately after each use. (Pre-cleaning) The procedure is as follows: 1) Remove the probe cover. 2) Clean the probe of all patient’s blood or fluid with running tap water until the surface of the probe looks visually clean. - Page 16 Manual Cleaning: Prepare the detergent solution in a tank with cold water (please follow the instructions of the detergent manufacturer regarding application, dilution and contact time). 1) The temperature of the detergent solution should be between 15-30 °C, concentration is 1.6%. Please note the minimum contact time of the detergent in the manufacturer’s instruction.
- Page 17 Manual disinfection: 1) Prepare the disinfectant solution in a tank with cold water (please follow the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer regarding application, concentration, microbiological efficiency, service life and contact time). 2) Confirm the concentration of the disinfectant before immersing the probe.

Page 18: Drying
Drying 4.4 Drying 1) Wipe the probe with a single-use, fluff-free wipe or towel to remove moisture from the surface of the equipment. 2) Dry the probe naturally in an ambient temperature between 15-30°C for a minimum of 4 hours. Alternatively the probe can be dried using a drying heater at a temperature of less than 40°C. -
Page 19: Daily Inspection (Maintenance)
(4) Use sterile acoustic coupling gel depending on the diagnostic part. The acoustic coupling gel which is an accessory of Hitachi Ultrasound diagnostic scanner is non-sterile acoustic coupling gel. (5) Do not hit or drop the probe because the inside of the probe head is easily broken by mechanical shocks. -
