Hitachi Aloka UST-5550 Linear Ultrasound Probe

This catalogue record covers the Hitachi Aloka UST-5550 linear ultrasound probe as a new aftermarket-compatible unit or as a repair service for an original transducer. The listed compatible systems are the Aloka ProSound Alpha 10, Alpha 6, Alpha 7 and the Hitachi Aloka F37. Procurement teams should treat this entry as a sourcing reference: the exact unit condition, inspection scope and commercial agreement are defined only in the written quotation for each order.

For imaging engineers and equipment dealers, the linear array format and the named system list are the two starting points for matching this probe to an installed base. This record does not state a clinical application, so the buyer must confirm that the probe’s physical configuration and system settings match their intended scanning role before committing to an order. Shipping, packaging and any test procedures are settled case by case, never assumed from this page.

Frequently asked questions

Specific to this model, how do you handle shipping and packaging for this probe?

Each order receives its own written quotation covering packaging material, carrier and delivery timing. Because these terms vary with destination and unit condition, the quotation is the only place where they are fixed. Please request a quote for your specific delivery address and required date.

What does compatible-new mean compared with the repair service?

Compatible-new refers to a newly manufactured aftermarket probe intended to work with the listed Hitachi Aloka systems. The repair service applies to an original UST-5550 transducer. The quotation will state which option applies to your order and the condition of the unit supplied or serviced.

Is this probe suitable for the application I have in mind?

No clinical application is recorded for this model in the catalogue. You should compare the linear array type and the supported system list against your intended use, then confirm with Akicare before ordering. The quotation will clarify test scope, but it will not state an application.

How can I be sure it works with my Alpha 7 or F37 before I buy?

Compatibility is confirmed through the quotation process. Akicare verifies your exact system model and software version against the unit you request. Do not rely solely on the catalogue list; send your system details with the enquiry so the written offer states the confirmed match.
