Entering Patient Temperature
1. If necessary, select the TEE transducer.
2. Display the Preset/Transducer touch screen by touching
Preset/Transducer .
3. Turn Pat Temp to enter the patient's measured temperature.
NOTE
Each time you turn off or reset the system, or enter a new patient ID, the
system assumes that the patient temperature is 37°C (98.6°F).
Resuming Imaging After Auto-Cool
If the distal tip temperature drops below 42.5°C (108.5°F), the system resumes
imaging. If the Auto-Cool message persists longer than 1 minute or an error
message appears, contact your Philips service representative.
If the distal tip temperature reaches 43.5°C (110.3°F), the system shuts down.
You may need to restart it by pressing the On button.
WARNING
The Reconnect the Transducer error message is often caused by a poorly
seated transducer connector, but it could be caused by a failure in the Auto-Cool
safety logic. In the case of a logic failure, distal tip temperatures could reach
46.5°C (115.7°F) in hyperthermic patients (40°C to 41°C or 104°F to 106°F)
before the error causes scanning to stop. At this temperature, esophageal burns
may occur (see "TEE Transducer References" on page 298).
1. Turn the locking lever on the transducer connector counterclockwise, and
pull the connector out of the receptacle.
2. Reseat the connector in the receptacle and turn the locking lever clockwise.
3. Select the transducer and preset.
4. If the system does not resume imaging after the transducer has initialized,
shut down the system and then restart it.
