About the TEExi transducer
The TEExi transducer is an electronically steered phased array ultrasound transducer
assembly, mounted in a sealed tip at the end of a conventional endoscope.
The TEExi transducer is used to generate a set of ultrasound images or slices within a cone
from the same position in the esophagus. The rotation of the scan plane is driven by a
motor in the control handle.
WARNING

FUJIFILM SonoSite does not recommend the use of
high-frequency electromedical devices in proximity to its
systems. FUJIFILM SonoSite equipment has not been validated
for use with high-frequency electrosurgical devices or
procedures. Use of high-frequency electrosurgical devices in
proximity to its systems may lead to abnormal system behavior
or shutdown of the system.

To avoid the risk of a burn hazard, do not use the transducer
with high-frequency surgical equipment. Such a hazard may
occur in the event of a defect in the high-frequency surgical
neutral electrode connection.

To avoid injury to a patient, the TEExi transducer is intended for
use by a licensed physician who has received appropriate
training in endoscopic techniques as dictated by current
relevant medical practices, as well as in proper operation of the
ultrasound system and transducer.
Caution To avoid inadvertent damage to the transducer, read this user
guide before handling and cleaning the TEExi transducer.
