EUP-S72 by Hitachi: A High-Performance Probe for Precise Imaging
The EUP-S72 ultrasound probe by Hitachi is a sector-scanning transducer designed to meet the imaging needs of healthcare professionals. With its phased array technology, it enables fast and precise image acquisition, thanks to its 90° scanning angle and 5 MHz acoustic frequency.
Primarily intended for pediatric imaging, the EUP-S72 offers high resolution and excellent contrast quality, facilitating pathology detection and internal organ assessment. Its operation is based on converting electrical signals into ultrasonic waves, which are then reflected by internal body structures and transformed into detailed images.
The phased array technology used in the EUP-S72 allows digital control of ultrasonic beams, providing more precise imaging and better spatial resolution. This advanced focusing capability enhances image quality and ensures more reliable diagnoses. The 90° scanning angle is ideal for cardiac and vascular imaging, particularly in young patients where the small size of structures requires detailed visualization.
Featuring an ergonomic design and optimized biocompatibility, this probe is easy to handle and ensures maximum patient comfort. Weighing 0.66 kg, including the cable and connector, it provides a stable grip and enables prolonged use without operator fatigue. It is made from biocompatible materials to minimize the risk of allergies and skin irritation.
The EUP-S72 probe complies with strict medical standards (IEC60601-2-37) and meets the requirements of the 93/42/EEC directive for medical devices. Its cleaning and disinfection process is straightforward, as it is compatible with various detergents and disinfectants listed by the manufacturer. It can be sterilized using ETO gas or STERRAD plasma, ensuring optimal hygiene and extended durability.
Finally, its seamless integration with Hitachi ultrasound systems makes it an essential tool for medical examinations requiring high precision. This probe is ideal for hospital and clinical environments where high-quality imaging is crucial for quick and effective diagnosis.
