Friction Brakes (V5Ms)
The friction brakes lock the deflection positions of the distal tip. When the brakes are engaged,
you can change the imaging scan plane without losing acoustical contact.
A friction brake is located on each side of the transducer handle. The friction brakes are color-
coded to match their corresponding flex control.
Example of V5Ms transducer with locked/unlocked icons. Brake for Anterior/Posterior flex control is in
the locked position.
