Evaluation of the x7-2t model transducer revealed corrosion on the connector and between the knobs on the midhandle.Performance testing of the probe verified proper function of the articulation knobs, so the reported problem could not be confirmed.However, signs of corrosion or material buildup were identified within the knob/midhandle interface which may have led to the issue observed in the field.The investigation concluded that exposure to fluid and materials over time likely resulted in the buildup and reported problem.The damage found on the probe is indicative of improper transducer care and maintenance.
