Flex Control (V7M)
The flex control manipulates the movement of the distal tip.
Anterior/Posterior Deflection
For anterior deflection (anteflexion) of the distal tip, rotate the flex control clockwise. Clockwise
rotation moves the distal tip anteriorly.
For posterior deflection (retroflexion) of the distal tip, rotate the anterior/posterior flex control
counterclockwise. Counterclockwise rotation moves the tip posteriorly.
Example of a V7M transducer in the neutral
position as viewed from the handle near the
connector cable.

Neutral Position (V7M)
To place the distal tip in the neutral position:
1.
Unlock the friction brake.
2.
Rotate the flex control until the neutral position indicator is aligned with the handle portion
that is near the connector cable.
