3.1.2  TipDeectionControl
 WARNING
 
●
If the deflection shows an unwanted amount of free play, do not use the 
transducer. Contact the service organization to re-adjust the steering of the 
transducer. In this way, the risk of "buckling" or "U-turning" of the transducer in 
the esophagus is minimized.
 
●
To avoid damaging the transducer, do not deflect the transducer tip using finger 
pressure directly on the tip, as this may permanently damage the internal control 
wires.
