1. Introduction
1.1 Features
The probe model EUP-L54MA is a linear array type probe.
The acoustic output of this probe when connected to ultrasound
scanner was measured according to the IEC60601-2-37 standard.
The table of measured acoustic output data is contained in the
operation manual of each ultrasound scanner.
This probe is categorized in class IIa according to Directive
93/42/EEC.
According to IEC 60601-1 the probe is classified as type BF.
1.2 Principles of operation
This probe and the ultrasound diagnostic scanner enable image
diagnosis using ultrasonic waves.
This system operates under the principles described below.
1) When an electric pulse signal is applied from the transmitter
to the transducer of the probe, the transducer converts
electric signals into mechanical vibration energy for
emitting pulse-shaped ultrasonic waves into the body part,
liquid or other medium contacting the transducer.
2) The emitted ultrasonic waves are reflected by boundaries with
different acoustic characteristics (acoustic impedance)
within the body.
3) The transducer is also used to receive reflected ultrasonic
waves. The transducer vibrates mechanically due to the
received ultrasonic waves and converts mechanical vibrations
into electric energy. Electric signals are converted to shades
of brightness by brightness modulation to obtain an image.
1.3 Intended Use
The Linear Array Probe EUP-L54MA is designed for observation and
diagnosis mainly of the following regions by connecting with the
HITACHI ultrasound scanner.
Mammary gland
Thyroid
Superficial organs
-2- Q1E-EP0995
Never use the probe for following applications.
Direct contact to the heart.
1.4 Composition
The probe components of the EUP-L54MA are as follows:
1) Probe EUP-L54MA ...................... 1 piece
2) Instruction manual ................... 1 copy
Sterilization has not been made to the probe, shipped from the
factory. Prior to use of the probe, be sure to clean, disinfect
and sterilize the probe.

2. Inspection before Use
Prior to use, the probe must be carefully inspected that it is
appropriate for use.
2.1 Inspection of appropriate connection
2.1.1 Confirm that the system is correctly operating. Refer to the
instruction manual for the ultrasound diagnostic scanner.
2.1.2 Do not attach or connect unauthorized devices or instruments
on the probe, such as unauthorized biopsy attachments.
2.2 Inspection of material surface
2.2.1 Visually inspect the surface of the probe and head, housing,
the cable and the connector for any crack, scratch or
denaturalization. If you find any damage, do not use the probe
and contact a service support immediately.

3. Operation Procedure
1) Confirm that the probe is cleaned, disinfected or sterilized.
2) Connect the probe, operate the main unit, and adjust the image
according to the instructions given in the operation manual for
the main unit.
3) Relationship between direction of the probe and the image is shown
in Fig. 2. The right-left orientation mark on the image indicates
the direction of the index mark on the probe.
4) Under sterile condition, protect the probe by using covers. Some
Latex material may create allergic reaction. Please use allergy
free material covers.
5) After the use of the probe, it should be cleaned and disinfected
or sterilized, then store it in an adequate place.
