The TE-V5Ms transoesophageal probe from Siemens: excellence at the heart of echocardiographic imaging
The TE-V5Ms transoesophageal probe from Siemens Healthineers is a cutting-edge technological solution in the field of transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE), a crucial imaging method for detailed examination of the heart, particularly during surgery or in the diagnosis of complex heart conditions. Designed to meet clinicians' requirements for accuracy, ease of use and compatibility, this probe is the tool of choice for cutting-edge medical practice.
One of the major advantages of the TE-V5Ms is its one-dimensional piezoelectric ceramic design, which guarantees remarkable image quality regardless of clinical conditions. With an extended bandwidth of 3.0 to 7.0 MHz, it captures a wide range of frequencies to optimise image resolution while adapting to different patient profiles. This broad spectrum allows for better tissue penetration without compromising the clarity of anatomical details, which is particularly useful during complex haemodynamic assessments or real-time surgical procedures.
The 90-degree field of view and maximum depth of 180 mm allow complete coverage of major cardiac structures, from the left atrium to the heart valves, without the need for excessive manipulation. This ability to visualise in depth and with precision makes the TE-V5Ms an indispensable tool in the detection of intracardiac masses and thrombi, as well as in the assessment of valve leaks. The examination is therefore faster, more efficient and better tolerated by the patient, thanks to the fineness of the probe and its ergonomic design.
The device's robustness is also worth noting: weighing 1,800 grams, the TE-V5Ms combines durability and performance, allowing for intensive use in hospital settings without compromising accuracy over time. In addition, its Micro Pinless connector ensures perfect compatibility with Siemens ACUSON systems, guaranteeing secure and fast data transfer without the mechanical wear associated with traditional connectors.
Designed to adapt to all modern imaging protocols, the TE-V5Ms supports Doppler modes (Colour, PW, CW) as well as tissue harmonic imaging (THI). It is also calibrated for penetration or high-resolution examinations, making it a versatile instrument that is perfectly suited to both adult and paediatric cardiology. It can be used in a variety of settings, from resuscitation to the operating theatre, with consistent reliability.
The Siemens TE-V5Ms probe is a technological marvel designed to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of healthcare professionals. With its exceptional acoustic performance, ergonomic design and optimal compatibility with Siemens equipment, it has become the gold standard in modern transoesophageal echocardiography.
