free play or exceeds the maximal deflection angles, do not use the
transducer. Contact Philips to readjust the steering of the transducer.
Ensuring proper deflection limits minimizes the risk of the tip folding over
in the esophagus.
• To protect the patient and the transducer, straighten the tip of the
transducer and unlock the deflection control when inserting or withdrawing
the transducer. On the S7-3t, the tip is straight when the white line on the
control wheel is aligned along the shaft of the transducer handle.
