restrained to allow you to hold the tip in a certain position. A metallic ring around
the body of the handle, which clicks on and off, controls the brake.
The larger wheel on top is for rotating the imaging array. The array can be
rotated continuously from 0 degrees (transversal plane) through 90 degrees
(longitudinal plane) to 180 degrees (transversal plane, left/right inverted).
WARNINGS
• Do not use the deflection brake on pediatric patients.
• Verify that the maximum deflection of the tip is 120 degrees up and 90
degrees down. If the up/down deflection shows an unwanted amount of
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.
