▌ Precautions for Use
Do not use the product in a temperature outside the range of 25°C
42°C or higher. It may cause damage to the human body.
WARNING
■ Do not transport the product while the MPTEE probe is placed in the probe
holder. The probe is not secured and it may fall.
■ To protect the patient and the probe, keep the probe in Unlocked state when
inserting the probe.

on screen. It is necessary to perform an inspection in advance to reduce the
risk of difference in images.
■ Familiarize yourself with the use and safety instructions for the TEE probe
completely before using it.
■ Use the probe only as an internal insertion probe.
When the temperature of the MPTEE probe exceeds 41°C, the following warnings are
displayed:
– 41.0°C ≤ TEE Temperature < 42.0°C: Estimated surface temperature of xx.x°C.
– 42.0°C ≤ TEE Temperature < 42.5°C: Estimated surface temperature of xx.x°C. Please
reduce the power value.
– 42.5°C ≤ TEE Temperature < 43.0°C: Estimated surface temperature of xx.x°C. Please
reduce the power value. Approaching thermal limit: 43.0°C.
