 Biopsy Procedure

The system generates a needle guideline using the ultrasound image displayed in real-time to

anticipate the path of the needle. Use this guideline to ensure that the needle or other instrument

follows the correct path.

1. Ready the patient according to the procedure appropriate for the examination objectives.

2. Install the sheath and the biopsy kit.

3. Set the system controls for the biopsy procedure. If necessary, apply acoustic gel to the patient.

4. Scan the patient. Adjust the patient so that the location for examination ts into the needle

guideline on the screen.

5. Install the needle into the needle guide for use. Perform the puncture by sliding the needle

through the groove in the guide until the needle intersects the target.

To keep the needle securely in the needle guide, press down on the top of the biopsy adapter

with your index nger.

6. When the examination location is reached, take the needle out of the needle guide.

7. Detach the needle guide, adapter and sheath from the probe.

8. Dispose of the components that are not designed for reuse.
