Verifying the Biopsy Guide Alignment
WARNING
If the needle enters from the unexpected side of the display or cannot be seen, verify that the
biopsy guide is correctly mounted on the transducer and that the orientation of the
transducer is correct. If the needle is still not following the expected path along the guideline,
do not use the biopsy guide. Contact your Philips representative.
1. Attach the biopsy guide. Although some transducers require the use of a second transducer
cover for biopsy procedures, a second transducer cover is unnecessary for this alignment
verification.
2. Connect the transducer to the system, and select the appropriate applications and preset.
3. Set the system depth for the procedure to be performed.
4. Display the biopsy guideline.
5. Without changing the position of the biopsy depth cursor, note the default depth shown at
the bottom of the display.
6. Immerse the transducer no more than 6 mm (0.25 in) into the water bath.
