Hitachi C41V1 Convex Probe: Diagnostic Precision and Clinical Versatility
The Hitachi C41V1 convex probe stands out as an essential tool for healthcare professionals conducting precise ultrasound diagnostics in gynecology, obstetrics, and ultrasound-guided interventions. With its advanced design and compatibility with Hitachi diagnostic ultrasound systems, the C41V1 optimizes image quality for rigorous clinical assessments.
Operating at an acoustic frequency of 6.5 MHz, this probe uses ultrasonic waves to penetrate body tissues, providing detailed visualization of gynecological organs, as well as masses or cysts requiring biopsy. The C41V1, classified as type BF under IEC60601-1 standards, meets safety requirements for Class IIa medical devices, ensuring secure usage during diagnostic procedures.
Its design includes an immersible part (IPX7) for easy cleaning and disinfection, while the non-immersible part must be treated by wiping. Usage precautions, such as avoiding direct contact with the heart or eye, emphasize patient safety. An optional EZU-PA7V sterile puncture adapter, compatible with 16G to 19G needles, enables targeted interventions under ultrasound guidance. The probe can also be equipped with a magnetic sensor for real-time virtual sonography (RVS), adding an extra dimension to its diagnostic capabilities.
Designed for optimal performance in environments ranging from 10 to 40°C with relative humidity between 30% and 75%, the C41V1 is robust and reliable, capable of withstanding storage temperatures between -10 and +50°C. Maintenance involves thorough cleaning and disinfection after each use, with sterilization options including ETO gas or plasma, while avoiding steam autoclaves that may damage the probe.
