Hitachi C22K Probe: An Advanced Solution for Medical Ultrasound
The Hitachi C22K probe is a state-of-the-art medical device designed to deliver clear and detailed ultrasound images. With its convex transducer technology and a working frequency of 3.5 MHz, it allows healthcare professionals to explore internal body structures with exceptional clarity. Its wide 82° scanning angle ensures optimal coverage, which is essential for precise and reliable diagnostics.
This probe is particularly suited for intraoperative applications, where image quality and device responsiveness are critical. When used with Hitachi ultrasound systems, it ensures seamless integration and maximized performance.
The C22K has been designed to enhance user experience while ensuring maximum precision during ultrasound examinations. Its lightweight build, approximately 0.37 kg including the cable and connector, makes it easy to handle, even during prolonged procedures. Its optimized grip reduces practitioner fatigue and allows for more comfortable and precise examinations.
Manufactured with biocompatible materials, the probe is free from allergenic components, ensuring optimal safety for patients. This feature is particularly important in clinical environments where hygiene and biocompatibility are top priorities.
The C22K is compatible with two sterilization methods commonly used in medical settings: ETO gas (ethylene oxide) sterilization and plasma sterilization. These processes effectively eliminate microorganisms, ensuring optimal hygiene conditions for safe use.
To meet the needs of practitioners performing ultrasound-guided biopsies, the C22K probe can be equipped with several specialized adapters, including the MP-2781 with a G18 needle guide, the MP-2781-5, the MP-2781-25, and the CIVCO Bracket (CIV-614-108). These accessories help optimize interventional procedures by providing maximum stability and precision during tissue sampling.
Developed to work seamlessly with Hitachi ultrasound systems, the C22K probe ensures perfect integration with these devices. Its compatibility guarantees optimal performance and a smooth user experience, without the need for complex adjustments. Compliant with European medical standards, it is classified as a Class IIa medical device under Directive 93/42/EEC, highlighting its high level of safety and reliability for clinical use.
With its high-resolution imaging, wide field of view, and ergonomic design, the Hitachi C22K probe is an essential tool for healthcare professionals seeking a reliable and high-performing solution. Its biocompatible construction and compliance with strict sterilization protocols make it perfectly suited to the demands of the medical field. By integrating specialized accessories, it meets the most advanced requirements for ultrasound examinations and interventional procedures. Choosing the Hitachi C22K means equipping practitioners with a versatile, precise probe that meets the highest quality standards.
