Figure 4-4: Adult TEE Transducer Lock Operation
P8-3m TEE
The smaller wheel on the handle of the transducer controls the scan plane. The transducer
scan plane can be rotated from 0° (transversal plane) to 90° (longitudinal plane) to 180°
(transversal plane, left/right inverted) All planes in between can also be chosen. This makes
it possible to scan a conical imaging volume. The larger wheel on top of the handle is used to
control the transducer Anterior/Posterior tip deflecti
on (120° +10° up and 90° +10° down).
Both wheels have a friction lock and freely moving mode.
