8565 and 8665 • Puncture Facilities
When the puncture attachment is at the 0mm setting, the distance from the guide channel
entrance of the puncture attachment to the first dot on the scan image puncture line is
65mm for Types 8565 and 8665 (see Fig. 6.). The distance between the dots is 10mm.
To fit the required needle, turn the variable-diameter holder counterclockwise and insert the
needle. Turn the holder clockwise until tight enough to hold the needle firmly.
All parts of the puncture attachment
can be autoclaved or disinfected by immersion in a
suitable solution.
