S7-2omni and X7-2t Deection Controls
The S7-2omni and the X7-2t deflection controls and brake are shown below.
The larger inner knob controls anterior/posterior movement, while the smaller
outer knob controls medial/lateral movement. To place the tip of the TEE
transducer into the neutral position, align the ribs on each knob with the center
of the array rotation buttons.
The knobs can be controlled by a detent brake that holds the tip position without
locking it in place. This allows the tip to straighten if it meets additional resistance.
When the detent brake actuator is rotated to the right (as shown) both knobs
are in the freewheeling mode. When the detent brake actuator is centered, the
small knob (medial/lateral movement) is in the detent mode, and when the
actuator is rotated to the left, both knobs are in the detent mode.
NOTE
During 2D imaging, the buttons on the X7-2t transducer handle are enabled. In
xPlane, Live 3D, and Full Volume modes, the buttons are disabled. A lock icon
is displayed at the end of the bold line corresponding to the selected rotation
angle.
During insertion, engage medial/lateral detent to limit movement or use
freewheeling mode (no deflection and no brake resistance) to prevent patient
injury.
