Transducer surface temperature rise
Table 3
lists the measured surface temperature rise (in °C) from ambient (23°C ± 3°C) of transducers
used on the ultrasound system. The temperatures were measured in accordance with EN 60601-2-37
section 42 where controls and settings were positioned to give maximum temperatures.s
