Manipulating the S7-3t TEE Tip
Review the warnings and caution in “Patient Safety During TEE Studies” on page 200 and “TEE
Deflection Control Basics ” on page 207 before using the transducer in a study.
1. Put the deflection control knob into freewheeling mode by sliding the deflection lock so
that the indicator is white.
2. Do one of the following:
• To deflect the tip toward the posterior, turn the smaller knob clockwise.
• To deflect the tip toward the anterior, turn the smaller knob counterclockwise.
• To set the tip in the neutral position (no deflection), turn the smaller knob so that its
white bar is in line with the center of the proximal end of the transducer handle.
3. Once the tip is positioned properly, lock the deflection control knob by sliding the deflection
lock so that the indicator is red.
