NOTE:
If the image depth is set very low (to see tissue close to the transducer with
high magnification), the needle tip echo can be outside the displayed image area. To
see the needle tip in this case, zoom out so the full needle path is visible or pan the
image to the side (to keep the high magnification).

Verify
puncture
guide type
number
WARNING P-w2
Verify that the type number of the needle guide displayed on the monitor corresponds to
the needle guide that you are actually using. If the number is incorrect, the puncture line
on the monitor may not correspond to the true puncture path in the tissue.
Watch the
needle tip
WARNING P-w4
The puncture line on the image is an indication of the expected needle path. The needle
tip echo should be monitored at all times so any deviation from the desired path can be
corrected.
Offset
changes
WARNING P-w3
Changes you make to the offset of a programmable needle guide or brachy matrix will
affect ALL programmable needle guides and brachy matrixes. This could lead to incorrect
puncture lines or matrix positions for a different guide than the one you wanted to
change.
