S8-3t TEE Features and Specifications
A small transducer that enables high-resolution imaging and
360-degree views of the heart, unobstructed by lungs and ribs.
The array inside the tip can be rotated 180 degrees using a
control on the handle of the transducer. Another control on
the handle sets the deflection of the tip. This transducer is
capable of color flow imaging, 2D and Mmode, color Mmode,
steerable CW and PW Doppler, HPRF Doppler, and frequency
agility. Tip surface temperature is constantly monitored for
patient safety.
