Intended purpose

An ultrasound imaging transducer that is a hand-held device moved over the intact surface of a patient's body during general-purpose imaging applications. It includes single or multiple element transducer configurations that convert electric voltages into an ultrasound beam. Typically used with coupling gels to ensure adequate contact with the patient it steers, focuses and detects the ultrasound beam and resulting echoes mechanically or electronically. This ultrasound imaging transducer is used with A-mode, B-mode, M-mode, Doppler, colour Doppler (CD), and duplex (combination imaging, Doppler and/or colour flow) scanning capabilities. This is a reusable device.
