Performing Puncture and Biopsy
WARNING Sterile-w2
Sterile-packed components must be stored in a safe environment and kept out of direct
sunlight. Large temperature changes during storage may cause condensation and violate
the integrity of the packaging.
WARNING D-w1
For disposal of contaminated items such as transducer covers or needle guides or other
disposable items, follow disposal control policies established for your office, department, or
hospital.
WARNING P-w1
Before you start imaging, verify that the type number or name of the transducer and the
type number or description of the needle guide you are using match the number displayed
on the monitor. Also make sure that the needle guide is positioned correctly. If the numbers
do not match, or if the needle guide position is not correct, the puncture line on the monitor
may not correspond to the true puncture path in the tissue. In case of any inconsistency,
stop imaging, turn off the system, and contact your BK service representative.
