Additional notes

The 8L-RS Collector Probe is used in the ultrasound machines, Magnetic Resonance (MR) machines and in a few other Digital Imaging (DI) machines. It is an assembly that consists of the probe, a probe care card and a document for certification of compliance. There are parts like the handle, cable, chemical sealant, primer, EMI tape, copper tape and few other accessories found in the probe assembly. This particular probe is a linear array transducer, used significantly for Musculoskeletal (MSK), vascular, small parts and thyroid applications. The ultrasound waves spread through the body, producing an echo where density changes occur. The echoes return to the transducer where they are converted back into electrical signals, thus resulting the quality of images. The probe generates mechanical high-frequency waves, transmits via digital memory to the computer, and forms as an image. It has the individual label with the product details, environment label for packaging and Quality Assurance (QA) seal. All these are arranged and placed in a carrying case with the shipment label. This 8L-RS type probe is a versatile product, widely used in machines like LOGIQ E / I, Vivid E / I / S5 / S6 and a few more medical diagnostic systems.
