Hitachi Aloka UST-5542 Linear Ultrasound Probe

The Hitachi Aloka UST-5542 is the linear-array probe record within the Hitachi / Aloka Probes catalogue section, detailed here for the SSD-1700, SSD-3500, SSD-4000 and ProSound 6 systems. This listing covers two distinct possibilities: a new aftermarket-compatible UST-5542 transducer and a repair cover for the original Hitachi Aloka unit. Neither option carries a blanket commitment on inspection scope, turnround or carriage.

For procurement teams and imaging engineers, the catalogue entry establishes the model, array type and compatible host platforms, then leaves every transactional detail to the quotation stage. Because this is a compatible or repair item rather than an original part, you should confirm the exact unit condition, any planned test procedure, delivery schedule and shipping method with Akicare before raising a purchase order. Those terms are set for the specific order rather than in advance.

For other linear models in the same catalogue section, see the Hitachi / Aloka Probes category, including the related Hitachi Aloka UST-5539-7.5 Linear Ultrasound Probe.

Frequently asked questions

What should I ask about after-sales support when I send an enquiry for this probe?

Ask what happens after delivery, including whether a repair carries a workmanship return policy, how a faulty unit is handled, and what documentation accompanies the shipment. Support terms are resolved per order, not preset, so your enquiry should name the exact UST-5542 and the system it will be used on.

From the buyer’s side: how do you confirm that the UST-5542 works with my Aloka system before I buy?

Akicare verifies compatibility against the model list you provide, cross-checking your system model and serial number with the stated compatible systems. You should also confirm the probe connector and system interface in writing, because compatibility is only finalised for the exact request in the quotation.

What condition options exist for this linear probe, and what do they mean in practice?

This catalogue lists two options: a new aftermarket-compatible UST-5542, which is a freshly supplied replacement not made by Hitachi Aloka, and a repair cover for the original transducer. The new unit has no usage history, while the repair route returns your existing probe after inspection. Neither option specifies testing or warranty in this catalogue.

Do I need to check the connector or label details for the UST-5542 before ordering?

Yes, note the connector type and any label markings on your current probe, then send those details with your enquiry. Connector fit and label readings are unit-specific, so Akicare will match them against the UST-5542 listing for your Aloka system. You should photograph the probe label and connector for reference in your email.
