1. Introduction
1.1 Features
L34 Probe is a linear array electronic scanning type probe.
The acoustic output of these probes when connected to the ultrasound
diagnostic scanner was measured according to the IEC60601-2-37
standard. The table of measured acoustic output data is contained
in the operational manual of each ultrasound diagnostic scanner.
This probe is categorized in class Ⅱa according to Directive
93/42/EEC.
According to IEC 60601-1, L34 Probe is classified as type BF.
1.2 Principles of operation
This probe and the ultrasound diagnostic scanner enable image
diagnosis using ultrasonic waves. This system operates under the
principles described below.
1) When an electric pulse signal is applied from the transmitter
to the transducer of the probe, the transducer converts electric
signals into mechanical vibration energy for emitting
pulse-shaped ultrasonic waves into the body part, liquid or
other medium contacting the transducer.
2) The emitted ultrasonic waves are reflected by boundaries with
different acoustic characteristics (acoustic impedance)
within the body.
3) The transducer is also used to receive reflected ultrasonic
waves. The transducer vibrates mechanically due to the received
ultrasonic waves and converts mechanical vibrations into
electric energy. Electric signals are converted to shades of
brightness by brightness modulation to obtain an image.

1.5 Option
1.5.1 Coupler attachment EZU-PA3C1 (Option)
By attaching the coupler attachment EZU-PA3C1, detecting of the
blood flow in the shallow blood vessel is possible, by keeping
a suitable angle. The optional coupler attachment EZU-PA3C1
components are as follows:
Component Model Note
1 Coupler attachment EZU-PA3C1 2 pieces
2 Instruction manual - 1 copy
1.5.2 Coupler attachment EZU-PA3C1H (Option)
By attaching the coupler attachment EZU-PA3C1H, additionally to
the blood flow detection a biopsy through the needle guide is
possible.
The optional coupler attachment EZU-PA3C1H components are as
follows:
Component Part number Model Note
1 Coupler attachment - EZU-PA3C1H 2 pieces
2 Needle Guide * 7424250A - 2 pieces
3 Instruction manual - - 1 copy
* A 20-22 gauge biopsy needle is available inside the needle guide.
1.5.3 Coupler attachment EZU-PA3C2 (Option)
By attaching the coupler attachment EZU-PA3C2, the images for
shallow parts by shifting of a focal zone to the parts are
improved.
The optional coupler attachment EZU-PA3C2 components are as
follows:
Component Model Note
1 Coupler attachment EZU-PA3C2 2 pieces
2 Immobilizing band - 2 pieces
3 Instruction manual - 1 copy
Please refer to the instruction manual of each option about the method
of handling, cleaning, disinfection and sterilizing them.
A biopsy should be performed only by a well-trained physician.
Use only the authorized coupler attachment for performing a biopsy.
Before performing a biopsy, display the needle echo in sterile water,
and confirm that the needle echo at each angle overlaps with the
correspondent needle guideline. For the confirmation procedure in
detail, refer to the instruction manual of EZU-PA3C1H.
