TEE Transducers
Verifying Operation of the Controls
Use the deflection controls to position the tip in every possible direction, both to
ensure that the controls work properly and to get used to the feel of the particu-
lar TEE transducer. Make sure that the controls operate smoothly without bind-
ing, and that you can achieve all possible positions easily before introducing the
TEE transducer into the patient.
Test the friction brakes and freewheeling mode. Remember that the controls
must be in freewheeling mode (no deflection and no brake resistance) when repo-
sitioning or withdrawing the transducer, as well as whenever you are not imaging.
See “Manipulating the OmniPlane III Tip” on page 215.
