TEE Transducers
WARNING
Each time you turn off or reset the system, or enter a new patient ID, the system
displays the patient temperature as 37°C (98.6°F). You need to manually enter the
actual temperature.
➤ To enter the patient temperature
1. Press Probe repeatedly until the TEE transducer is active, as displayed on the
screen.
2. Press the Patient Temp soft key to enter the patient’s temperature. (To
learn about soft keys, see the Help.)
Monitoring the Distal Tip Temperature
The transducer temperature appears on the upper part of the display, in inverse
video, if the distal tip exceeds 41°C (105.8°F).
By default, the patient temperature and the distal tip temperature are displayed
throughout a TEE exam (Figure 10-9).
