Philips T6H (21378A) OmniPlane TEE Ultrasound Probe for Sonos and HP Ultrasound Systems – Transesophageal Echocardiography Transducer

Product Overview

The Philips T6H (21378A) is a professional OmniPlane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) ultrasound transducer developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP) and later Philips for advanced cardiac imaging applications. Designed specifically for transesophageal examinations, the T6H provides high-resolution cardiac visualization by positioning the transducer within the esophagus, allowing clinicians to obtain detailed images of cardiac structures without interference from the chest wall or lungs.

Operating at approximately 5–7 MHz, the T6H OmniPlane probe is engineered for comprehensive cardiovascular assessment, including evaluation of cardiac chambers, heart valves, atrial septal structures, ventricular function, congenital abnormalities, and intraoperative cardiac monitoring. The OmniPlane technology enables electronic rotation of the imaging plane, significantly improving diagnostic flexibility during TEE procedures.

The T6H became one of the most widely utilized TEE probes on the HP Sonos and early Philips echocardiography platforms. Its excellent image quality and reliable mechanical performance made it a preferred choice for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, and echocardiography laboratories performing diagnostic and intraoperative cardiac examinations.

This probe is commonly found in hospitals, cardiac catheterization laboratories, operating rooms, and cardiovascular imaging centers where advanced transesophageal imaging remains essential for patient management and surgical guidance.
