TPorter creates a standard of care that increases staff compliance with recommended practices for reprocessing TEE ultrasound probes while providing a secure method for transportation of both clean and soiled TEE ultrasound probes.

Philips xMatrix sector array transesophageal transducer with PureWave Crystal technology with an 11 to 4 MHz extended operating frequency range for imaging in 2D, Live xPlane, Live 3D, 3D Zoom, Full Volume and 3D color modes. Provides a user configurable button on the handle to assist with exam efficiency.

The 6VT-D, a state-of-the-art Electronic 4D Multiplane Transesophageal (TEE) Ultrasound Probe, is a revolutionary tool in cardiac imaging. Rubber control wheels provide an easy grip, even in slippery conditions.

TEE probe tips are miniaturized (adult 3D probes: ~17 × 13.5 × 38 mm and infant/pediatric probes: ~7.5 × 5.5 × 18.5 mm) and feature smooth contours to allow safe and comfortable insertion into the oropharynx. The acoustic lens and matrix array are housed in the probe tip.

In this post we will go over the 4 most common Point of Care Ultrasound probes you will encounter (linear, curvilinear, phased array, and endocavitary probes). The table below lists when you should think about using each type of ultrasound probe.

Jul 15, 2023 · TEE probes are cardiac-type probes that provide an obstructed image of the heart by inserting the probe into the esophagus, and into the patient’s stomach. These probes move in 4 different directions, and movement is controlled by the handle controls.

A thorough understanding of the TEE ultrasound probe and how it should be reprocessed is critical. This knowledge will lead to minimized TEE ultrasound probe damage, improved patient outcome and allow for proper reprocessing that minimize Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs).

Transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) scans can yield poor quality scans because of anatomic structures or pathological/physiolgical conditions that cause signal attenuation. Ribs, excessive fat, improper positioning, and excessive air in the lungs may cause a poor scan.

Jul 14, 2023 · A TEE probe is considered a specialty-type of ultrasound probe and can cost up to $70,000. TEE probe 101 gives an overview of these devices.

Acuson V5MS is a multiplane TEE transducer probe. The Acuson V5MS has a 9.6mm aperature and selectable multiple frequency imaging. It is compatible with Simens/Acuson SC2000, Simens/Acuson Cypress Plus, Simens/Acuson Cypress ultrasound systems. Brand – Siemens/ Acuson Transducer Type – TEE
