Transesophageal Transducers
A transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) study is performed with a transducer mounted in a
gastroscope, which is positioned in the esophagus or stomach. TEE transducers offer images
that are unobstructed by lungs and ribs, making them important diagnostic tools for conditions
that transthoracic echocardiography cannot adequately image.
All transesophageal transducers are rated minimum IPX1 (control area) and IPX7 (endoscope
area) in accordance with IEC 60529.
The system supports the compact X7-2t and S7-3t TEE transducers. The imaging array in the
X7-2t and the S7-3t transducers can be rotated electronically using controls on the transducer
or on the control panel.
WARNING
All TEE transducers are designed to be defibrillator safe in accordance with IEC 60601-1.
Nevertheless, always remove the transducer from the patient before defibrillation.
Operators of TEE Transducers
Philips TEE transducers are designed for use under the guidance of physicians who are properly
trained in esophagogastroscopic techniques, according to currently approved relevant medical
practices. Philips recommends that physicians operating any Philips TEE transducer have the
following qualifications:
• Proficiency in recognizing and interpreting transesophageal imaging patterns
• Thorough familiarity with the safe operation, care, and maintenance of the ultrasound
system and TEE transducers
• Thorough familiarity with the latest TEE methods through literature and seminars
