The following table lists the disinfectants and cleaning solutions compatible with the transducers available for your Philips ultrasound system. CAUTION. The use of 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and alcohol-based products on all transducers is limited.

The difference is that all TEE/TOE probes use the same hookup and parameter set and are configured as the same type. The parameter set used with the TEE/TOE Probe is 1-xx-199. The TEE/TOE probe fixture is linked to the parameter set in the Endoscope Types frame. Keep disinfected probes away from dirty probes to avoid cross-contamination. Do not use the transducer shipping case for storage. Per Philips' guidelines, do not bend the flexible shaft of a TEE probe into a circle with a diameter of less than 0.30 m (1 ft). Avoid storing transducers in direct sunlight or in areas of extreme temperatures. Comment: The Philips X7-2t transesophogeal probe is a marvel of engineering, with about 2500 elements in a matrix array that can produce real-time 3D (also known as 4D) images of a beating heart on the iE33 ultrasound system. The X7-2t TEE probes cost $70,000 new in the United States. It is always important with TEE probes to follow the (or managers) being unfamiliar with best practices for transducer reprocessing – that is, the proper use, handling, cleaning, sterilization or disinfection, transport, and storage of transducers (hereinafter referred to as “reprocessing”) used in diagnostic medical sonography. Additionally, there may be a bTtM9.
