Hitachi Aloka UST-979-3.5 Convex Ultrasound Probe

When your imaging suite needs a convex transducer for an Aloka SSD-series scanner, this catalogue record covers the Hitachi Aloka UST-979-3.5 in its Compatible-New condition. It sits within the Convex & Curved Array Probes section, where each listing is treated as a distinct sourcing line rather than a universal fit statement. Buyers typically arrive here either to replace a worn UST-979-3.5 or to equip an additional Aloka SSD unit with a spare probe.

This unit is a new aftermarket-compatible transducer, not manufactured by Hitachi Aloka, and is listed alongside a repair pathway for the original model. Compatibility is recorded for six Aloka systems: SSD-900, SSD-1000, SSD-1700, SSD-2000, SSD-3500 and SSD-4000. Before any order, confirm the exact unit condition, any testing offered, availability and shipping terms with Akicare, since these are settled case by case and vary between individual units.

This record relates to other convex transducers in the same catalogue section, including Convex & Curved Array Probes and the Hitachi Aloka UST-979 Convex Ultrasound Probe.

Frequently asked questions

What does the lead time look like for this UST-979-3.5 if I order today?

Lead time is decided per transaction after you contact us. It depends on the current availability of the new aftermarket-compatible unit and whether you also request repair work on an existing probe. No timeline is promised on this catalogue page.

Should I check the connector and label on my Aloka system before buying this probe?

Yes. The connector type and labelling on your existing Aloka SSD scanner determine whether this UST-979-3.5 will physically match. Because this is an aftermarket unit, verify the connector pattern and probe label details against your system before purchase. These checks are confirmed case by case.

In practice, how do you confirm compatibility with my Aloka SSD-3500 before I commit?

compatibility gets validated against the recorded system list for this model, which includes the SSD-3500. However, the final confirmation happens after you send your exact system model and serial details. Akicare then matches those against the specific unit you order, not against a blanket catalogue statement.
