6 Transesophageal Transducer
Instructions for Use 6 - 5
Transducer Articulation Controls (V5Ms)
Caution: Do not use your hands or fingers to bend or manipulate the articulating section of the
transesophageal transducer. To avoid severe damage to the articulating mechanism, use only
the transducer controls to change the articulation angle.
The Array Rotation Control, Flex Controls, and Friction Brakes are located on the handle of the
transducer.
Example of V5Ms transducer controls.
1 Flex Controls
Bend the articulating section of the transducer shaft
2 Array Rotation Control
Rotates the transducer crystal within the distal tip of the transducer
3 Friction Brakes (one on each side of the transducer)
Locks the flex controls
Array Rotation Control (V5Ms)
The array rotation control rotates the transducer crystal within the distal tip of the transducer.
The position of the array corresponds to the imaging scan plane. The scan plane is adjustable
from 0° to 180°.
