Ultrasound system with: 1) transesophageal echocardiography transducer (TEE) connected/not selected 2) 1, 2 non-TEE connected 3) Imaging with non-TEE 4) Selected/not selected imaging transducer removed 5) Transducer connected 6) Non-TEE imaging continues, Then though TEE is unselected, it may have power, no temperature monitoring/control, and may result in temperature above limit and patient burns

On 3/23/24, correction notices were distributed to customers who were advised of the following two ways to avoid the condition: Option 1: To prevent the issue from occurring, when using the TEE transducers, connect directly to the Compact 5000 system using the port on the side of the system as shown in Figure 3 below. The issue is associated with the MPA, therefore by using the port on the Compact 5000 directly, the issue is avoided. Option 2: Whenever adding a transducer to, or removing a transducer from the MPA, disconnect and reconnect the MPA connector on the Compact 5000 system connector port, followed by a transducer selection on the touch screen. By performing this step when adding or removing a transducer, the monitoring and control systems are re-initialized.
