Do not freeze the image during a biopsy procedure. The image
must be live to avoid a positioning error.
The use of biopsy devices and accessories that have not been
evaluated for use with the equipment may not be compatible
and could result in injury.
The invasive nature of biopsy procedures requires proper
preparation and technique to control infection and disease
transmission. Equipment must be cleaned and disinfected prior
to use.
• Follow the probe cleaning and disinfection procedures and
precautions to properly prepare the probe.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for reprocessing of
biopsy devices and accessories.
• After use, follow proper procedures for decontamination,
cleaning, and waste disposal.
Improper cleaning methods and the use of certain cleaning and
disinfecting agents can cause damage to the plastic
components that will degrade imaging performance or increase
the risk of electric shock.
Convex, Sector and Linear probes have an optional biopsy kit
specific for each probe. The biopsy kit consists of:
• A reusable non-sterile bracket
• Disposable sterile Ultra-Pro II™ Needle guide kits (Civco
Medical Instruments Co, Inc.) consisting of:
• Sets with needle inserts covering gauge
size 14 through 23 (2.1 mm to 0.6 mm)
