Maximum Probe Temperature

Maximum probe temperature for Vscan Air CL – Curved array transducer (for deep scanning) and Vscan Air CL – Linear array transducer (for shallow scanning)

---

The table below indicates the maximum probe temperature.

Probe	Max Temp (°C) (Simulated use)	Max Temp (°C) (Still air)
Vscan Air CL – Curved array transducer (for deep scanning)	40.5	45.3
Vscan Air CL – Linear array transducer (for shallow scanning)	41.1	44.8

    Maximum Vscan Air CL temperature

NOTE: Measurement uncertainty and probe variation: 2.0 °C.

NOTE: The probe will stop scanning, if exceeding an applied part surface temperature of 43°C

NOTE: Lens temperature is measured under conditions per IEC 60601-2-37, Ed2.1
Thermocouple was placed at the geometric center of the lens
Thermal phantom at not less than 33°C or in the range 20-33°C for external probes. Maximum Vscan Air CL temperature rise is measured and added to 33°C. Maximum Vscan Air CL temperature (Simulated use) is <43°C.
With Vscan Air CL transmitting in air, temperature rise is measured and added to 23°C. Maximum Vscan Air CL temperature (Still air) is <50°C. Lens temperature is monitored for 30 minutes.

NOTE: Vscan Air CL placed in contact with a thermal phantom made of tissue-mimicking material is referenced in IEC60601-2-37, Ed2.1
Auto-freeze capability is disabled during these measurements.
