Before writing off a damaged Edan C352UB, compare its symptoms against the failure modes below. Many lens, cable and connector faults on this probe class are economically repairable.
| Manufacturer | Edan |
|---|---|
| Model | C352UB |
| Probe type | Convex array |
| Frequency reference | 2.0–6.0 MHz |
| Typical applications | Abdominal, OB/GYN, Urology |
| Compatible systems | Edan U50 Prime, Edan U60 |
| Source record | The Ultrasound Source product record |
In service the C352UB is most often found on Edan U50 Prime, Edan U60. Console-side settings and module revisions still vary, so the exact system build is part of any assessment.
Curved arrays like the C352UB see heavy abdominal duty, and the curved lens face takes the brunt of it – delamination and membrane wear typically show up before element failures do.
Common failure modes for the C352UB
Match what you are seeing against the table below. The right-hand column reflects how faults of this kind typically assess – the actual verdict always depends on the individual probe.
| What you see | Likely cause | Typically repairable? |
|---|---|---|
| Image cuts out when the cable is flexed | Broken internal conductors in the cable | Case by case |
| Connector lock broken or hardware missing | Broken locking mechanics on the connector housing | Usually repairable |
| Vertical shadowing or missing scan lines on screen | Element dropout, or a conductor break inside the cable | Case by case |
| Large areas of the array not firing | Extensive element loss across the acoustic stack | Usually not economical |
| Bubbles or lifting at the lens face | The lens separating from the acoustic stack underneath | Usually repairable |
| Grainy, low-detail image even after presets are checked | A worn lens surface or elements beginning to degrade | Case by case |
| Split seams or impact marks on the probe body | A drop or knock; housings are routinely replaced or resealed | Usually repairable |
Check these before you ship the probe
- Run the system’s built-in probe test or element check if your console provides one.
- Examine the connector for bent or corroded pins, cracks and a working locking mechanism.
- Flex the cable gently along its length while imaging – intermittent dropout points to broken conductors.
- Check the strain reliefs at both ends for splits, stiffness or separation from the cable.
- Compare penetration and uniformity against a known-good probe on the same preset.
Repair, exchange or replace — which applies to your C352UB
Repair suits the C352UB when damage is mechanical or confined – lens membrane, strain relief, cable jacket, connector hardware. Once element dropout spreads across large sections of the array, repair cost climbs toward replacement value and stops making sense. If uptime is critical, ask about exchange options while your probe is assessed.
What we need to quote your C352UB repair
- A clear photo of the complete manufacturer and model label on the probe
- A description of the fault: what you see on screen and when it started
- The ultrasound system (console) the probe is used with
- Screenshots or photos of the image problem, if the fault is visual
- Photos of any physical damage – lens, housing, cable or connector
Images shown are representative and are not photographs of an individual unit. Nothing on this page claims OEM authorization or guarantees universal fit. Whether a specific C352UB can be repaired, and on what terms, is confirmed in writing once the probe has been assessed.
