• A less-than sign (<) after TEE T indicates that the transducer’s distal tip tem-
perature is below the patient temperature (PAT T)—either 37°C (98.6°F) or
the temperature you entered.
•A colon (:) after TEE T indicates that the distal tip temperature is greater
than or equal to the patient temperature.
If the distal tip temperature reaches 41°C (105.8°F) during imaging, an Auto-Cool
imminent message appears, as shown in Figure 10-10.
